well...i've been investigating the issue for a month or so now, and i'm quite interested; in fact, i feel compelled to make it work for me in the near future.
i'll be brief in my first post:
i've researched some of the different aspects of general construction of a wind turbine. i'm somewhat of a lay carpenter, so i constructed the prop out of different materials wood, composite material, fiberglass, etc...and found that the prop constructed of thin wood(in particular - poplar) proved to perform the best.
from what i've gathered, i'm thinking that i'll stick w/ my constructed prop, i can purchase a low rpm alternator made specifically for generating electricity from wind power at a reasonable price (instead of making my own).
the plan is to connect the alternator to the battery bank (probably 4 12v deep cells)after this step...it gets a little more foggy for me. should i just connect the poles to a 12v-110v power inverter to supply the AC for the house? or is there another route - a better route?
the question is: basically, does this sound reasonable. and...how do i run the power from the inverter throughout my home? do i need a seperate inverter for each circuit as to not overload?
just trying to set a good foundation here - any help is appreciated.
