Parts we need to make our own wind turbine
Propeller Blades
Use PVC pipes to make propeller blade parts. Find an 12 feet long PVC pipe and divide it in 4 equal parts. 3 feet long PVC propeller can make you a wind turbine with 6 feet rotation diameter. You can find these parts easily from any scrap yard near you.
Generator
There is no need for a super power generator to make your own wind turbine. A DC motor that has a low RPM rating would do the job and give you a great voltage output. The best place to find such generators is the internet. Search a little from internet and you can find the one you are looking for, eBay would be a good place to start searching.
Batteries
Here counts the same as i said for generators. You don't need a super power battery for your homemade wind turbine. A second hand forklift battery in good manner can do its job very well. Best place to see for batteries is industrial estate or the internet. Again, eBay sometimes has great products for sale in cheapest price you can ever find. The price for batteries of this kind vary from $60-$100USD.
Tower
You don't have to build a tower with wall for your wind turbines. You can build a tower with pipes by joint few pipes by each other. You can find such pipes in any scrap yard near your location.
Also a good e-book about how to make a wind turbine would be a great helper. We searched the net about this topic and we found Earth4Energy to be a great resource and worth the money.
