Get an old car generator from a junkyard or the spare parts shed ( or alternator but make sure it is rectified ). Next build a platform you can mount on top of a barn or garage. The platform will have to be able to swivel in the wind, preferably pivoting around a stationary pipe. It will also need a tail like a weather vane so it will face into the wind when it changes direction. Get the blades off a large stand up fan or industrial fan. Attach the blades to the generator by whatever means avalaible. You may want to make a different bearing mount for the blades with a pulley ( and belt ) on the backside to drive the generator or you may come up with a way to affix the blades directly to the generator. Run ground from the generator to ground on a car battery and the output lead to the battery's positive terminal. The leads will have to run down the center of the pipe you mounted your platform on.
The modern wind generator was developed in the early 1980s by Danish engineers. Wind generators work by capturing the kinetic energy of the wind and converting it into mechanical power through the rotation of turbine blades, which then drives a generator to produce electricity.
In essence, the wind turbine collects kinetic energy from the wind and transfers it to the generator. The blades on the turbine turn as the wind blows. As these blades move, they rotate a shaft connected to the rotor of a generator. The spinning magnets of the generator convert that rotational energy into electricity.
Wind power generators are used to harness the power created by wind turbines. This is considered a "green" source of energy. Some government agencies are currently investing resources in expanding wind power in their areas.
A windmill or a wind turbine. Once there is enough wind the blades turn the generator inside. This generates electricity.
Wind power is generated by using wind turbines to convert the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical power. As the wind causes the blades of the turbine to rotate, the kinetic energy is converted into electricity by a generator inside the turbine. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other facilities.
You should honestly be able to build a wind powered generator in any town because its the one type of generator that causes the least environmental damages. You can ask for a permit from your city hall.
The cost of installing a home wind power generator depends on the kilowatt it produces. A 1 kilowatt wind power generator usually costs $3000-$7000. A 7 kilowatt wind power generator costs $20,000-$40,000. The more kilowatt it produces, the more costly it is.

To properly install a wind power generator, it will typically cost around 40,000 dollars to install a generator that is large enough to power the entire home.
wind power generator dot com is a good place to go they have great information on everything you need to know about wind power, both private and public.
Yes it will still work if the wind is not blowing because the generator is capable of storing the energy it collects from wind power and converts it stores as you need it.
by a generator that converts the wind power to electricity
Wind power. A wind farm. A wind turbine.
In essence, the wind turbine collects kinetic energy from the wind and transfers it to the generator. The blades on the turbine turn as the wind blows. As these blades move, they rotate a shaft connected to the rotor of a generator. The spinning magnets of the generator convert that rotational energy into electricity.
In fact, I just happen to know a bit about wind power generators. A wind power generator is a turbine connected to a transistor mounted on a large pole. As the wind causes the turbine to turn, the mechanical energy of the rotation is transferred into electrical power by the sophisticated transistors mounted in the generator. That electrical energy runs from the generators to the power grid thus supplying the world with power.
