How Wind Power Works For Homes?
If you are planning to reduce your home monthly electricity consumption, you can opt for a residential solar power system or a wind energy system to supplement your electricity needs. Both systems have their own advantages and disadvantages. This article will highlight how a wind power system works for homes. The idea of a residential wind power system is to harness the energy of the wind and converts it into usable electricity. This is done by using a wind turbine. The key components of a wind turbine are the blades, generator, mounting and tail fin. The blades of a home wind generator are made from either wood or high grade PVC pipe. The blades are cut at a special angle and attached to the central core of the generator. The generator is basically a dynamo with magnets and copper wires surrounding it. To create electric current, the magnet core has to be spun in order to cut through the magnetic fields. The centrifugal energy needed to spin the core is provided by the attached blades
