First of all, a windy site to put it and permissions to put it there.

Then you'll need

  • Turbine blades to turn the energy in the wind into power to turn a shaft.
  • Gearing to increase the rotational speed to something more appropriate for a generator
  • A generator or alternator.
  • A housing in which to place the equipment.
  • Electronics and controls to control the direction your turbine faces and to control the power output from the generator
  • A strong tower to support all this stuff to place it a a height where winds are better.
  • A strong, massive cement foundation to keep your tower upright.
