Plans to build a wind generator?

I don,t have any plans on paper but, they sell windmills as decorations on landscapes. Look them over and see if they have a shaft with two pillow blocks so you can attach a pully. Then go to an auto junkyard and get an old 12 volt generator. Put a pulley on both the windmill shaft and the generator, ( which of course will already have a pulley on it), then an appropriate belt to connect them both. If you have the knowledge, you can wire in a voltage regulator.
To protect the system from over speeding in excessively high winds, a centrifical throwout clutch could be attached to the end of the windmill shaft.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
