I LIVE IN EASTERN INDIANA I WANT TO PUT UP A WIND TURBINE, ENOUGH TO RUN MY HOUSE AND A FEW OTHERS I WANT TO MAKE MONEY AS WELL AS SAVE RESORCES.I KNOW WE HAVE ZONEING LAWS AND STUFF I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SIZE AND WHO HAS THE BEST OR TELL ME WHO TO TALK TO

www.bergey.com is the site for a manufacturer of a quality 10kw turbine. Another good one is www.windturbine.net for the Jacobs 20kw. Both sites have pricing and dealer lists. But these are only going to supply for 1 to 2 homes. I have the 20kw Jacobs, live in eastern Wisconsin, and the wind turbine will probably pay for itself in 15 years. There is a great article at home power magazines website. http://www.homepower.com/article/?file=HP131_pg38_Sagrillo The article is in a PDF file and has a few of the larger turbines listed with specs and the company websites so you can get more detail. Another good place to go is www.dsireusa.org they have a huge listing of state and federal programs to help pay for it with grants and tax credits. Don’t plan on making much money at least not for a while. In 10 years the electric rates will probably be much higher so you will be making out better after it has been in for a while. My only regret is not installing mine 5 years earlier. It would have been about 20% less expensive, The prices of the turbines go up just like the electric rates do but once the thing is purchased your electric rate is pretty much frozen for the life of the thing.

Are there any good do it yourself kits?

Wow! Laurie M is exactly right, and speaks with great wisdom. Wind power is really tricky, and requires expert knowledge from initial design to pouring the concrete. Besides, there are few places in the country where the average wind is really high enough to give you useful power, and yet calm and predictable enough to keep from destroying costly equipment.

Solar is much more practical if you must have an alternative source of electricity. Much easier to design and develop a workable system at home. In any case, unless you have a really good knowledge of electrical and mechanical things, you will need expert help. Your state government, or that of an adjoining state, probably has an alternative energy or solar energy center that has a web site. That will be your starting point. If you can’t find them, call your county agricultural extension agent.

Good luck!

NOTE: "Gabe" went a little over the top. Any homeowner with basic DIY skills can do much of the work involved in installing a solar/inverter/battery system, with some help from the manufacturers and your local electrical inspector.

Electrical engineers are indispensable, but don’t let one intimidate you into thinking you can’t do a job like installing solar panels. They are heavy, but not all THAT heavy. Any normal truss or rafter and deck roof will handle the weight. If some extra bracing is needed, any well-adjusted carpenter will know it, and can do it.

I have a science education and a lifetime of experience remodeling houses. So when I retired, I built my own passive solar house with a solar/inverter/battery system, and it all works great. I developed a good relationship with the county electrical inspector, and followed manufacturers’ specs and recommendations, and it all went together like a dream.

While other home exercise fitness equipment and infomercial gimmicks gather dust, treadmills continue to gain more popularity and get the results people are looking for. You can find lots of treadmills at a significant discount online, saving you a lot of money. The great attraction of a home treadmill is being able to exercise whenever you want, regardless of the weather. You can easily read a book or watch over the kids while you work out on your home treadmill.

Treadmill belt widths generally range from 17″ to 22″ and lengths from 51″ to 61″. Treadmill cushioning absorbs the force of your step; get good cushioning to lower the impact on your joints and ligaments. Choose a longer treadmill belt of 54″ or more if you or a family member has long legs.

A heart rate monitor enables a treadmill to automatically adjust the speed and/or the incline to keep your heart rate within the most optimum zone. Less expensive treadmill models require you to manually change the incline, which can be very frustrating if you want to make adjustments midway through a workout session. One feature that is absolutely necessary in a home treadmill is an emergency stop button or a safety key that automatically shuts off the power if you should stumble, trip or fall.

Display panels should be easy to read and straightforward to operate. The console indicates the belt speed and other factors, such as heart rate, miles per hour, and distance. The newest models of treadmills come with many extra features that you may not need.

One of the key things to remember is that the larger motors tend to run cooler and usually require less repair and maintenance. Features such as extra cup holders, built-in fans, CD players and other electronic gizmos may be handy but not essential for you to get an ideal workout.

Be aware the better quality treadmills can cost as much as $5000 and have a lot of bells and whistles you don’t need. Do your research; treadmills are an important investment, regardless of the price, and if it’s not right for you, you don’t want to find out after you’ve set the treadmill up at home. One indication of the likely longevity of any treadmill is to check out the length of the manufacturer’s warranty; the longer the better.

Warranties can last for ninety days or a lifetime, read the fine print. Treadmill manufacturers are competing for your business and price wars are creating big savings for buyers. Buying a treadmill online has become the way to go for most people; it’ll save you both time and a lot of money.

A noisy treadmill can upset other family members or roommates and even your neighbors if you live in a duplex, apartment or condominium. Most manufacturers of commercial treadmills found in gyms and health clubs also produce home versions.

If you’re looking for a heavy-duty treadmill that can withstand running as well as walking, be prepared to spend more money.

Less expensive treadmill models may be fine for walkers but may not hold up as well for regular or seasoned runners. When buying a treadmill, the best savings will be for an online purchase, generally saving up to 45% over brick and mortar stores.

It’s best to buy a treadmill that has at least a one-year warranty. Make sure to add the cost of shipping when buying a treadmill online; quality models can be heavy and shipping will cost more, but some manufacturers do offer free shipping.

The lack of wind resistance makes running on a treadmill slightly easier than it would otherwise be on an equal elevation grade outdoors. Whether you use a treadmill to walk, jog or run, the units are very effective at burning calories, raising heart rate and developing aerobic capacity.

To get even more workouts, think about making your treadmill into a walking, working office by adding a mini-platform to the side rails. Running or walking on a treadmill is an effective way to workout compared to other more complex cardiovascular exercises.

Make sure to take your time and choose a treadmill that fits your fitness goals. For most people buying a home exercise treadmill is going to be a major investment. You can save a lot of money by buying treadmills online. No matter what your reasons are for buying a treadmill, be sure to find one that fits your needs and the needs of your family.
