Man Harnesses Power of Wind in His Backyard

July 24, 2015 By Ellen Smith

Robert Migliori has harnessed the power of wind in his backyard on the Chehalem Mountains. He put wind speeds to use, creating power through his homemade wind turbines.

“It’s almost like the Eskimos and the snow. We have 20 types of wind up here,” he explained. “My highest recorded is 94 mph up here.:

An architect by training, his wind power obsession started in the 1970s with the oil crisis.

“If we can generate power from electricity, why not? It’s a much better alternative than burning oil,” he said.

The machines he designs and builds suffer a lot of wear and tear — his backyard has become a graveyard for past projects.

“One year of operation of a wind turbine is equivalent to driving a car 100,000,” he said.

A lightning strike last year reinforced that it’s time for an upgrade. His latest model is still waiting to be installed.

“It will generate about a 100,000 kW hours a year or the equivalent of eight to 16 homes,” he said.
