	Wind Power Generators \| Buying a wind generator
		Before considering a wind generator, there are many points to consider and many options to verify in order for effective use.
		Wind powered generators will be harder to come across than normal fuel generators but there are many useful applications for them including charging batteries and powering small appliances and tools.
		Because wind generators are more useful in areas where there is more wind being generated, there are many factors to consider before purchasing or building a wind generator.

	Wind Power
		Wind power is especially helpful here in the winter to capture both the ferocious and gentle mountain winds during the times of least sunlight and highest power use.
		Large wind generators of 2000 Watts and up are a major project needing very strong construction, but smaller ones in the 1000 Watt, 8-11 foot range can be built fairly easily from scrapped car parts and be up and flying in a week!

	Wind Turbine Generators
		Wind turbine generators are a bit unusual, compared to other generating units you ordinarily find attached to the electrical grid.
		If you connected (or disconnected) a large wind turbine generator to the grid by flicking an ordinary switch, you would be quite likely to damage both the generator, the gearbox and the current in the grid in the neighbourhood.
		Wind turbines may be designed with either synchronous or asynchronous generators, and with various forms of direct or indirect grid connection of the generator.

	Wind Generators
		Wind power can complement solar power, and in many places, this will give you the most power in the winter when sunlight is at a premium.
		The current output from a wind generator increases as the square of the wind speed, so don’t expect a lot of power at low wind speeds even though the unit seems to be turning quite quickly.
		Wind generators may be subjected to severe storm winds that can cause damage.

	Wind Generator Quick Facts
		Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the irregularities of the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth.
		Wind resources are characterized by wind-power density classes, ranging from class 1 (the lowest) to class 7 (the highest).
		Since wind is an intermittent electricity generator and does not provide power on an "as needed" basis, it has to compare favorably with the costs saved on fuel from fossil generators.

	Wind Power Generator
		Many utilities credit the homeowner’s account for power produced by wind turbines that is fed back to the grid and require that special safety features be installed to assure the safety of line workers during power outages.
		The amount of power generated by a wind turbine depends on the capacity of the turbine (rated in kilowatts, or kW) and the wind speed.
		As a rule of thumb, wind power systems tend to be cost effective in areas in which the average wind speed is 10 mph or greater and utility costs are more than $0.10 per kWh.

	Halfbakery: Wind Sail Generator
		Wind turbines are pretty cool, but it seems like they are pretty wasteful, since at any given time only a small surface area is capturing the air movement.
		The sail is anchored by an array of bungee cords which stretch as the sail is pushed back by the wind, and when the wind dies down, the bungees freely pull the sail back in, preparing the device to accept the next big gust.
		As the wind blows the lever is pushed downwards lifing water from the well, when the lever gets down to about 45 degrees a mechanism trips and allows the flap to swing edge on to the wind.
