A rather long tiem ago, pre-1980, I bought 2 books on generating my own electricity.
The best of the two showed how to modify 3 55-gallon metal drums to make a vertical wind mill. in other words, it just would spin on a vertical axis. No need for turning into the wind before it started generating electricity. Which is a problem with the windmills with blades that are vertical.
For storing the electricity, they had 30-40 regular US 12 volt car batteries.
He said it was best to match the ampere hours as close as possible on the batteries.
But, as cheap as he claimed the setup was, I couldn't come up with a way to afford it.
