Your Questions About Wind Turbine Generators
William asks…
What are the laws about building wind turbines (generators) in hawaii?
I was thinking about building a Wind turbine for my house, but couldn’t find anything about them legal wise. Is there some kind of permit I need? What’s the max height I can build?

Rooftop wind turbines offer a relatively inexpensive way to participate in the rush to renewable energy. The principle allure is low installation cost. Typically, tower installations for larger turbines add 50 80 to the cost of the system. With a rooftop turbine, an $800 tower is replaced by a $39 roof mounted tripod, or a length of pipe attached to the side of the house.

You can easily make one from an old stepper motor out of a printer, or a computer.
Just put a fan or a propeller on the shaft and that’s it. If you want to produce DC, then you will need a rectifier as well.
This will probably take the form of 6 diodes, in order to get the maximum output.
Have a go, it won’t cost anything.
