Here is an excerpt from the book...

Introduction

We can all see how gas prices and energy costs are rising. And there

is no indication that they will fall in the near future. In fact, all

the evidence points to higher and higher prices in the upcoming years.

That is reason enough to look into renewable energy but certainly not

the only reason. Some people purchase rural property for a very low

cost. But it is so low because there is no electrical lines run to the

property. And it may cost $25,000 plus just to have it run. Some

people just don't trust that the “grid” will always be there and would

like some independence from it. Whatever your reason for being energy

self-sufficient, you are probably looking into one of two things.

Solar power or wind turbines.

I actually like both and believe that they compliment each other. This

is especially true when you have a very windy winter but overcast and

rainy. Then in the summer you have good sun, but not as much wind.

But I believe that a solar (photo voltaic) system is way too expensive

for the average person. I do believe in solar hot air and water

systems though, especially home made versions. They can be very

inexpensive. But this book will focus on wind turbines and cheap or

free battery systems. And not the store bought wind turbines, but the

homemade variety.

Why pay $1,000 for a 400 watt store bought wind turbine when you could

make a 1,000 watt machine of your own for only $150? Why pay $4,000

for a 1400 amp hour 12 volt battery bank when you can get one for free?Click Here!
