Do you want more energy to power lights or even
run a hobby motor? Then the Geared Wind Turbine is for you! The gear
box assembly increases the alternator rpm and therefore increases
the power generated (see Gear Box Build
Guide). Reengineering the gear ratios can change the
power output. Also, the amount of electricity generated can
vary by redesigning blades and alternator coil wrap
patterns. Build your wind turbine with alternator components (see Alternator Build
Guide), hub assembly, gears, hole plates, dowels, hardware and additional
found materials. A stand is necessary. Purchase either the Bench
or Wind
Turbine Stand. Blade material choice is up to you to procure.

Construction Guide to get started. Additional free Build Guides are

The Direct Drive Wind Turbine allows you vary the
amount of electricity generated by redesigning blades and alternator coil
wrap patterns. Build your wind turbine with alternator components, hub
assembly, dowels, hardware and additional found materials. A stand is
necessary. Purchase either the Bench
or Wind
Turbine Stand. You can also build your own(see the Direct Drive
Turbine Build). Blade material choice is up to you to procure. Check
the Blade and Hub
