Can I make a wind turbine at home?

I want to make a wind turbine at home. I want to know how much this would cost? I do not want one of those massive things you see at wind farms. I just want to make a small wind turbine to power things such as an outside fridge and some lighting.

The first thing you need to do is to use the calculator on this blog to calculate the amount of watts your refrigerator or lighting pull. Once you know that number, you can then go about planning how to build a wind turbine at home and how big your battery bank will need to be and if you need to build more than one wind turbine.

The small wind turbine you need will cost about $150 to build. Probably the best step by step guide for doing this is here: http://www.mysolarsecret.com/how-to-build-a-wind-turbine.htm

The guide will show you how to get most of the parts from your local hardware store and what parts you need to buy. You can set up an entire wind power generator system using this guide in one day. It makes for a great weekend project.
