Wind Electricity Basics
Small wind-electric systems can provide electricity on remote, off-grid sites, or right in town connected to the utility grid. Although wind systems require more maintenance and need more attention than solar-electric or microhydro-electric systems, if you invest up front in good equipment, design, and installation, wind-electric systems can make economic and environmental sense. They also bring a great deal of satisfaction—there´s nothing quite like watching your wind generator convert a summer breeze or a winter storm into electrical energy.

How to Build a Wind Generator From a 24 Volt Alternator
Alternators rated at 24V DC are inexpensive and rugged but must rotate too quickly to be driven directly by a wind turbine. Wind turbines typically rotate at several hundred RPM while alternators must rotate at speeds of at least 1000 RPM to generate their rated voltage and power. To build a wind generator using such an alternator, a belt and pulley system which multiplies the speed of the wind turbine must be installed. Typically a factor of three or four is needed to get the speed required for the alternator to operate properly.
Large wind turbines rotate slowly and need gears or a pulley to drive an alternator.

How Does a Wind Generator Work?
What is a Wind Generator?
A wind generator is better known as a wind turbine; the term “wind generator” implies a fan device that creates wind. In fact, a wind turbine is designed to convert wind into electrical energy. Wind is a phenomenon that might be classified as a solar energy. It is caused by differences in air temperature resulting from uneven solar heating. The earth’s rotation is a factor as well. The presence and strength of wind can be modified by such things as terrain and the presence of large bodies of water. For these reasons, there are certain parts of the world that experience consistent strong winds, which wind turbines are designed to take advantage of.
