Neat portable wind power build
Pretty simply build, use 2 cloth like vanes and a motor, put it all on a string and attach it to a charger. I am looking to see if I can find a write up on this one too. http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/wind-powered-portable-electric-generator-gif-70788?homelistings#post124289
Simple Wind Turbine Build
This is a simple build to show a way to generate power from wind. Cheap build too. https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Water-Bottle-Wind-Turbine/

A Dual Axial Flux Generator
And yeah I at first thought it was something from “Back to the Future”. Turns out is an electric generator that the author designed and built for a micro wind turbine. https://hackaday.io/project/159568-portal-point-generator
Nice simple wind turbine
I like this build except…directions are a little lacking but you can roughly figure things out. However the blades are a bit of a confusing bit how they are curved just right. http://www.instructables.com/id/Savonius-Wind-Turbine/

OK this takes the cake for a cheap wind power
2 Water bottles cut and strapped onto a motor. I don’t think you can make it any cheaper and easier. http://www.instructables.com/id/Half-Brainer-Wind-Turbine/
Simple coke bottle wind turbine

Turn a broken hoverboard into windpower
Actually this build is pretty universal for other motors as well (treadmill for example). Thought the re-use of the tire for a mount is pretty good. I like the bike wheel pipe vanes too. http://www.instructables.com/id/Turn-a-Broken-Hoverboard-Into-a-Vertical-Wind-Turb/
