Why bother with a wind generator, why not a heavy duty alternator? That is all you need, not the wind part.....$100-200???

Actually I have the water source to do that and have thought of it, more to run the pump for the above part as we pump up from the source to get effect....water course from spring fed source. Runs 9 months a year every year and some years never dries.

The initial setup would be a lil pricey but it will pay for itself in the long run. For those of you that have a small stream running through your property this should work well for you. If possible bottle neck the stream so that the flow speed is increased at the mouth of the bottleneck. Next build a water wheel to spin around using the force of the water. hook your water wheel to a low speed wind Rating: 5
