We are used to the idea of solar I panels to generate power, but having your own wind powered generator is something else. Neco, an online store for eco-friendly products has wind-turbine generators for $499.The cast steel and aluminium generator is 4.5 metres high with a 2.1 metre diameter, three-blade rotor. It can generate 200 watts at wind speeds as low as eight metres a second and has a 28V output, which wil I charge a 24V battery bank. The generator is supplied with base, guy wires and mounting hardware. neco.com.au
