Often times people like to build their own wind turbines as a home project. We encourage this practice and can offer you a helping hand. For those of you who have the tools and skill sets this can be a very enjoyable and satisfying project with a worthwhile result.

For those of you who would like to get started with building your own wind turbine, then we recommend the Homebrew style Wind Turbines developed by Hugh Piggott of Scoraig Wind Electric in Scotland. We can provide you with his Recipe Book as shown in the table of components across. Here is his description of what the book includes:

“The Wind Turbine Recipe Book is a 65 page document that takes you through the process of building your own wind turbine for battery charging. Six different sizes are described from 1.2 to 4.2 metres in diameter. Every detail of the construction is tabulated and illustrated, from the wooden blades to the purpose-built permanent magnet alternator. Only basic workshop tools and skills are required. These recipes have evolved from thirty years of living off-grid and building small wind turbines.”

The cost of the book is €17.79 euros including shipping within Ireland. Please email for shipping costs outside of Ireland.

We can provide you with all the components necessary for the building of the Homebrew Wind Turbines described in the book and any other style of wind turbine that you can send us a parts list for.

We can pre-assemble or pre-manufacture any of the parts or components needed for your wind turbine.
