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.
WIND POWER FOR MY HOME?

Jellyfish wind turbine: I’ve only read about this http://www.clariantechnologies.com/main/page_plugin_wind_power.html. It’s low cost and supposed to be pretty quiet (whereas other turbines are rather loud). Hopefully your zoning admin doesn’t have an issue.

First of all you are talking about some pretty big sized components. To run your house and several others you would need 10Kw per house the height of just a 10 Kw windyurbine is at least 30 ft in diameter and it has to be at least 30 ft above any obstructing elements like trees and other houses. In the city forget bout it. Maybe in the country then you have t deal with how far the energy has to flow out there. Oh yeah also how are your winds as defined by the NOAA over a longterm wind study.
