subject: Do It Yourself Electricity At Home [print this page] Who wants to generate free power at home? That may sound like an idea from science fiction. Or it may seem like something that only engineers can do. But there are a growing number of regular people who are learning to generate their own free electricity at home with simple devices they have contructed all by themself!
How do these devices work? They are different. People experiment and decide which one will work best for them. This depends upon the supplies you can get, and also where you live.
Solar power is one very popular alternative. You can find the plans for simple solar power systems that cost about a hundred to two hundred dollars. They really work. You can start there and use the free power from the son to power things in your home.
Solar power is probably the best alternative if you live in a place you get a lot of sun.
Another old concept that has been brought back is the idea of using wind power to make electricity. You have probably seen something about the large wind power systems that power companies are really using now. You can actually find plans to build wind power systems at home.
Wind power is a good alternative if you have an area where you system can get fed from the wind. It would be best if you have a large lot in a windy place.
Another idea is not getting talked about as much. This involves using electro-magnetic energy. People report that the home energy devices are easy and fairly cheap to make.
Most people start out small. They just want to test the idea, so they build a small system that can power an appliance. But when that works for them, and they understand more about it, they tend to move up until they are generating more and more power for themselves.
Many regular people have cut their electric bill, and some have even cut it to nothing. Even better, others are actually generating more power than they need, and the electric company will buy it! How would you like to get a check from the power company instead of a bill?
There is a small investment to get started. If you want to build bigger systems, you will spend more. But if your power bill is like mine, you know that investment can be gotten back very quickly. There really does not appear to be a downside to this idea.
One first step is to begin at home. When your neighbors see it they will be motivated to develop their own systems. People who have the skills and experience will be in demand. Some have even built a business out of teaching others to build systems or building the systems and selling them.
This is a great idea. You can save money. You can even help save the earth by using more clean and renewable energy at home. And if you can spread the word around, you may even help others do the same.
