I have a few wind spinner decorations and they are always spinning and twirling like mad and i am constantly wishing i had some sort of a device to harness that because i like to catch free things (rain water; fruit) when i can.
It seems way too complicated to do a grid in system and so i wanted to toy with the idea of a low (under 15') turbine that would be used to power some outdoor stuff like lights, timers, pumps etc.
I see a HUGE range of super manicured, come-to-your-house-and serve-you deals to instructions about making one from parts found in the garage.
i think the smaller, assemble yourself ones in the 2-5Kw range is MORE than id need and i would also need a controller, and a car battery (or two or three) - I know these components can handle weather but i'd also want a box (not sealed, acid batteries, duh!)of some sort to contain everything.
i am really asking if anyone has anything similar (or more grand scale) and what they have experienced from it? I have no outlets on the North side of my house and i would really like them for all sorts of reasons lol so this would actually serve a purpose if it could be done
any one have any experience or thoughts.... or funny jokes?
Anyone use alt energy to power your greenhouse or outdoor projects? specifically wind
