Is it worth my while putting a wind turbine onto my garage do power it?

I have a detached garage, and would like power to hoover out the car, mow the lawn, lights, possibly alarm etc.

Is it worth my while fitting a wind turbine for the bit of power I need intermittently.
Tallpaul,
I couldn’t answer that in proper terms, just a bit of power now and then.

As for the previous poster, my garage is across the back street from my house, and would cost me approx £1000 to run the electric from the extension, over the local authorities back street (which i have to pay a grant for!) and into said garage.
New toy, don’t think so, I have 2 small kids so i have enough on my hands you fool!

What size wind generator would I need to cover 9000 kWh a month?

I am interested in looking for a wind turbine system that could cover my entire house. My average is about 9200kWh a month. I know that there are many factors in these systems but I am intersted in finding out how big of a system I am looking at. All help appreciated.

What is the name of this book set in the future?

It’s main antagonist is a guy in the future hiding and wrtiting in a journal. If he is caught bad things happen. I remember there was a bit about job assingments like street sweepers and lamp lighters. I have already made a list of the books it’s NOT
The Giver
A Brave New World
A Clockwork Orange
Logan’s Run
1984

Would a muscle powered hybrid make sense for a boat’s drivetrain?

I am planning to build a muscle powered commuter boat, using pedals, as on a bicycle.
Now one of the challenges I face is transferring as much of the human motion as possible to the propeller.
I am not sure how much of a loss through friction there is when using steel gears or other setups, but I just had this idea pop up in my head instead:

What if the pedals only drove an electric motor, which generates DC electricity, which is then transferred straight to an electric motor driving the propeller?

The advantage of that would be that I could also feed solar or wind energy into the whole thing, somehow (that one needs some more brooding over, I know).

But would that make at least a little bit of sense, or is this hopelessly inefficient?
