Good introduction to wind energy [Posted on 2008-06-05]
I found this to be a good starting point to learn about wind energy. It starts out with basics and goes into a little theory, but if you're looking for a book that goes into a lot of depth, you may find this book a little disappointing. Just remember, it's Wind Energy Basics, and no more.
Additionally, it provides a background in the development of windmills and lists quite a few brands and their specs. You'll discover quickly that small or micro windmills won't make you energy independent and regulations make it almost impossible to errect one unless you have lots of land and understanding neighbors.
It's a good primer that I would recommend to people who are looking for a starting point on the subject.

WIND ENERGY BASICS [Posted on 2008-09-05]
THIS IS A LITTLE TECHNICAL TO UNDERSTAND, AND SOME OF THE GRAPHS AND CHARTS DONT HAVE ENOUGH EXPLANATION TO THE AVERAGE PERSON . I EXPECTED A EASY TO FOLLOW BASIC BOOK ON HOW TO , POSSIBLY MAKE YOUR OWN, IN A PICTURE OR ILLUSTRATIVE WAY . THE BOOK TOUCHED ON IT, BUT WAS TOO COMPLEX FOR A BASIC BOOK .. I SAW NO IDEA OF HOW BIG THE ELECTRICAL USE OF THE AVERAGE HOUSE WAS, SO I DONT KNOW HOW LARGE A WINDMILL MUST BE MADE OR PURCHASED.. PROBABLY A GREAT BOOK FOR ELECTRICIANS ,BUT NOT BASIC ENOUGH FOR ME .I WAS WANTING TO MAKE MY OWN ( FROM SCRATCH )AND HAVE THE BOOK TELL ME WHAT I NEEDED ..

Nice photos, but no real useful information. Ordered by mistake, and returned. Not worth the money, in my opinion.
Wind Energy Basics [Posted on 2009-01-06]
I ordered this book because I am interested in potentially installing a wind energy system in my home. I did not find this book helpful to that end. It is too technical. It gave details I don't think I need and did not give me information on how to determine if my home is a good candidate for wind energy. Not what I was looking for. No practical information for a home owner.
