It’s a good sign that sustainable energy technology is catching on when the big box stores start carrying do-it-yourself wind turbine kits! Target has brought out this affordable, light, weatherproof cast aluminum wind generator for powering or charging. The DIY enthusiast will find it preey simple to install since it easily mounts on any sturdy pole or building.
Also worth mentioning is that Target claims this home wind turbine to be mostly maintenance free, with only a couple moving parts. The carbon fiber composite blades ensure low wind noise too, so you won’t be bothered by loud noise. If you’re ready for a build-it-yourself home wind turbine, this might be an excellent way to start making your home more sustainable.

Great article. I built a “do it yourself” wind turbine using a 500 Watt permanent magnet alternator I got from Windy Nation.
