Your Questions About Wind Turbine Generators How They Work
Helen asks…
Can I create a small wind turbine to help power appliances around the house?
Hello! I’m looking to use a small wind turbine to help power batteries/appliances around my house just as a small project. I was looking to spend no more than $200. I was also wondering what I need in order to do so. I believe I need a 12v batter and a power inverter to convert it to AC. Thanks for the help!

You will need blades for the wind to turn, a generator to produce power. Use the power from the turbine to charge the battery, then power you devices from the battery, in America most small appliances use 120volts at 60Hz ( so you will need to produce this somehow, though look at the specification of your appliances). For the basics this video is good
Using an inverter would be the easiest way I know to get AC from the battery though make sure the amps you apliemces need are not to high
Mandy asks…
What should I hook my small wind turbine up to?
I am building a small wind generator out of a plastic propeller and a small RC motor for the generator. I am planning to mount it outside somewhere. What should I power with this generator? Give me your opinion.
