Have you ever thought about making all of your electricity needed to power your home yourself? We all consume electric energy everyday in all of our appliances, radio's, tv's, computers, heating & cooling equipment and yet we rarely question where it come from or how it is made. Is it possible to build your own electric generator and will it be easy to accomplish? Yes it can be done.
There are at present several common ways to produce electricity for consumption. The use of wind , water, steam or sunlight. We can basically rule out for individual use two of the most common ways, water or steam. Geothermal steam is found in certain areas of the earth, but not practical because of locations and restrictions not available to the common homeowner. To make steam in boilers requires some sort of energy to be used which is not practical for the homeowner to produce on a small scale as well as the potential for an explosion if things get out of hand.
This leaves wind power through the use of wind generators. These units convert the mechanical force of wind into electricity. Turbines must be placed where wind is strongest and the structure is not a hazard or eyesore. The only other potential way to produce electricity is with solar panels that will generate power. Light rays from the sun energize the photovoltaic cells which in turn generate a relatively small voltage output. The more power you need the more cells you will have to use to provide electricity for your needs. To use solar panel equipment, there is a large upfront investment to be made. Solar panels systems have drawbacks and be prepared to perform regular maintenance on them.
Using a solar panel or wind generator to produce your electrical needs may require you to use a series of battery backup units for when your energy needs cannot be met by either one of these systems. Calm days or extended periods of cloudy or rainy days will reduce the amount of energy these two systems will provide and you need an alternate source if you are completely disconnected from the existing grid.
There are other viable options available for producing your own homemade electricity. Do a little research and remember to take safety precautions when dealing with electricity.
FREE power at your command can be generated by using a new underground technology. Read this report that will show you exactly how to harness free electricity by using this little known but effective concept. Check Below.
