What is a wind generator?

A wind generator is equipment for producing electrical power using wind energy. The machine catches the wind power and conveys it into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy drives the move of the blades (or paddle) in a motor to produce electricity power. Nowadays wind generators contribute thousands of megawatts (MW) of electricity to network. Wind generators are a very common energy solution for vast farms in rural area with many great benefits. Especially they are ideal for strong wind areas.

You don’t need to be an electrical or mechanical engineer to set up your own wind generator. The system is easily set up yourself with tons of guides you can find on internet or in a bookstore. The component for assembly and install a wind generator are also easily found around the market.

Wind generators were invented and used for long time in history as forms of wind turbine or windmill. Many years ago, when electricity power was not discovered, windmills were used to saw timber, grind grain and coin, pull boats and draw up and pump out water for irrigation and water supply. Today, 3 terms of windmill, wind turbine and wind generator are mostly used to name the same device.

There are many benefits of using wind generators. Hereafter are some of these:

1. Wind generators are environment friendly with two following feature:

    * They never generate harmful emission into atmosphere and waste materials to environment.

    * Wind generators do not use any fuel to generate power, so that they don’t hurt the natural resources of energy like gas, petroleum, coal…

2. Wind generators, as said above, do not consume any no-renewable natural sources. Therefore this help to secure the energy stabilization, eliminate the risk of global energy crisis. This is one of the best way of power saving.

3. You have to spend an amount of money for build up a wind generator. But for long time of exploiting energy, it is really cheap power. You will have your own electricity power totally free after a shot time of years. This is really economical energy solution.

4. If you own a wind generator, it really your own wind power plant for life. You never depend on state electricity network. Of course the works of your intire business or factory are not affected by government power-cut some times.

5. Wind a wind generator on your hand, the power is on forever without any interruption. This is really 24 hours per day, 7 days per week continuous electricity supply for your own place. Even if the system may stop for maintenance, the wind generator also have feature to store power, no need to worry about that.

If you want to save our planet by avoiding energy crisis, build your own wind power generation system right now to help the world and to support yourself.
