Or buy windblue alternator (ebay) $250 http://www.greenenergywindturbine.com/

Here we go again, building another vawt.

With this one I am hoping to get the 100 watts.

Here is how I did it.

First we need:
--5 pvc tube. size 3"X10' (hardware store)$48

--3 bike wheels. size 12" (junk yard or ask your kid to use their bikes for a minute) maybe $5

--Ametek38 volt (ebay or surplus store) $60 (a problem with ametek, it needs 500 rpm to reach 14.1volt.

--Or buy windblue alternator (ebay) $250 it will only need 200prm to reach 14.1 volt

--1 square foot 1" plywood or anything 12" diameter (laying around)

-- 3 X 2x4 X 12' studs (from lumber store)$11

I am not going to name the tools, but I used the usual tools.
