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.

I would like to see how a home wind generator creates electricity, particularly the mechanism.

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.

Here's a reasonably representative photo.

Exotic, rare, not representative of everyday things.

I'm going to join a vegan community which is also going to live off grid.

Can I post video links related to smart cities in your community ? This is one of the reasons why we wish to go off grid......
