Q&A: New household wind turbine, VERY cool!?

Question by Bohemian_Garnet_Permaculturalist: New household wind turbine, VERY cool!?
Those who have read my Q/A before know that my husband works on the commercial wind turbines. You also know that we eventually plan to build our home totally off grid.

My husband is always doing research on homeowner sized wind turbines.

This is one my husband just learned about. It’s pretty darn cool! Basically it works a lot like the electric bullet trains. This allows the turbine to spin MUCH faster than most can withstand, because there is no friction due to the magnets!

Why can’t we use solar energy or a large rechargable battery to power certain household items?

Question by chrisandniki: Why can’t we use solar energy or a large rechargable battery to power certain household items?
I’ve been thinking about the huge cost of electricty just for our appliances. Is it possible (and cost effective) to use some solar (or other alternative power) to run just some items like our clothes drawer, water heater, oven, dishwasher, refridgerator, and AC unit?

I don’t need something that will power my whole house . . . rather just run some of these items so I can get off the grid.

Let me know your thoughts.
