There are some free designs for home built turbine alternators that don’t freeze up—small ones with rotors between 10 and 20 feet. They’re for areas with frequent high winds, though.
There was a guy who lived up the road from my Mom when she had a place on the ocean on the East Coast. He wanted to put up a wind turbine because it seemed like a good idea, there is always a breeze at the beach. So he did, along with a ground-level solar panel array. Then his neighbors sued him and shut down his wind turbine. Why? Too noisy, they said. So down comes the windmill. He kept his solar panels until a hurricane came up the coast one year and washed/blew them away. So he’s back on the grid and, ironically, a lot of his electricity is coming from a nuclear plant about ten miles away, that keeps on putting out the juice, day and night, windy or calm, night or day. Anecdotal, I know, but kind of interesting.
