How does it all work

So how does all this work. I simple terms, the wind turns a generator that creates an electrical current. This current is then used to charge the some batteries and the batteries are then used to power electrical appliances, lights etc.

But nothing is always that simple and easy. There are a whole lot of terms like charge controllers, regulators, inverters, induced currents magnets that you will encounter when building a wind generator and using it to power you home. So I will tackle each of the parts of the system in more detail, starting with the wind generator.
