First off love this site First off love this site
I am thikning of making the jump into wind turbines to power the house. I am wondering if any of you can recomend some good reading material and info on setting one of these up. How do you tie one of these up to your house wiring etc etc. Thanks for the help

Hi Greg.
Thanks,
We have worked hard getting the website just right, and the forum members are increasing nicely.

I think you are jumping in at the deep end with your question above.
Start small, theres a lot to learn, I still am learning daily. I would suggest reading as much as you can first, Forget tieing a turbine to the house wiring for now.

Take a look at Hugh Piggotts range of books, he is the authority on DIY wind power.

Windpower workshop is a good introductory read.

Alternativly there are commercially available turbines, the Bergey (XL1) in my experience are amongst the best.
