    The question is too vague to answer well, but I have run a high autonomy household for 10 years, so it’s possible. Solar with battery storage, small wind generator to supplement things during storms. Heating uses wood.

    Latitude 59, so I get an electrical energy crisis every winter, but on most winters, I don’t have to start a gasoline generator or bring electricity over with my e-car.

    If you’re on a lower latitude, it becomes simpler, if you only have enough surface for solar panels.

        No. Also, I apologize for being a bit rude, but what would you gain from having a video of a home wind generator working? There’s probably thousands of such videos on the Internet.

            Small wind turbines work by having blades that spin a shaft connected to a generator (usually with magnets and coils) that converts the rotational energy into electricity - you can find some great comparisons of home wind generators on gearscouts.com if youre looking for emergency power solutions with the best watt-hour value.
