Electricity Can Be Used Directly
This electricity can be used directly by connecting the appliance to the generator or can be stored in electrical cells for future use. Based on the type of placement of the above mentioned parts the wind turbine can of the horizontal axis type or the vertical axis type, the latter being more proficient and widely used. In case of the horizontal axis turbine the gearbox that accelerates the rate of rotations to suit the requirements of the generator, and the blades are positioned in the direction of the incoming wind. All the constituent parts including the generator are to be supported on the top of the tower. RosesThis site also has a customizable setup (seasons), but the data is fixed more on specific locations than areas per see. It gives average wind direction too and wind speeds are in km/hour so youll need to do some calculations. Danish Wind Industry Associations Wind Map of Western EuropeThis is a quite basic map, but shows the general areas wind speeds in terms of meters per second (see above for how to read these). This site is dedicated to wind turbines and so has some other useful data and information. Here are some additional advantages of doing it yourself:� Huge Cost Savings - In addition to the lowered electric bills, many complete kits are selling for upwards of $1000 or more. This is unnecessary expense, especially when there are many quality guides available that will tell you exactly how to build and install your own for as little as $150 to $200.� Better Quality Control - By building your own wind turbine, you also control the quality of the components from start to finish.
