Windmill - Wind Generator

Hey Josh;
  Windpower sites all over the web.  Keep searching with different keywords.

www.otherpower.com has a lot of avenues to follow. Parts and Plans for DIY, free tutorials, etc.

When you say make it into a Generator, you mean that it was made for mechanical work, pumping or such?

I don't know how the scavenging is where you are, but some folks (who don't want to build their own alternator from magnets and wire) have suggested using the DC permanent magnet motors from such sources as Powered Treadmills, which output something like 90volts at speed, so getting 20-40v from them for battery charging doesn't require high speeds like a car alternator would.

You have access to tools and materials, etc?
What's the wind like there?
