What is a DIY alternative energy project that I can do with ordinary materials? What are something things I can build to make energy out of wind, solar, water, etc. I just want something simple that could make enough energy to power a small shack.

I would prefer to build something like this..

This claims it gets 1,000 watts

So if you know of anything like this could you please provide a link to a detailed tutorial.

Thanks a lot.

Is this worth looking into building?
