The world is awakening to the amazing reality that energy can be made at home. Homemade energy is free energy. You can power your entire home with home made energy.
The recession has made us wiser now. We have more to ask for than before. As the world is realizing the importance of looking back into unconventional modes of power, the need to be self sufficient at home is fast becoming a pre-requisite for social participation. The main energy sources that can be found abundant in our backyard and neighborhood are the sun, the wind, and the running water. So, when we are discussing homemade energy, we are actually discussing solar panels and windmills, as well as small hydel projects in our backyards!
First, there is the solar propaganda. Thermal energy from the sun is getting transformed to useful alternating current and serving our electricity needs. From supplying electricity to household appliances, and running of water for heating solar plants, homemade solar energy is slowly finding more and more acceptance in local economies. Installing a solar power panel is not only a science project now. Rather, the presence of solar roof shingles is adding to the value of a real estate property! Installing a solar panel at very little expenditure is a more happening reality now than it was before! Furthermore, solar energy and its related appliances are opening up the much needed new job opportunities.
Second in homemade energy is the water’s story. The simple principle that the flow of water can be channeled to turn the wheels of a turbine has given rise to a host of home-hydro electric processes. A survey funded by the European commission showed that hydroelectricity has the least emission of green house gases compared to other sources of renewable energy like the wind and the sun. Many, who are enterprising and can avail a running flow of water have built micro hydro power projects and Banki turbine projects to come up as a solution to the energy crisis. Remember that home made energy not only eliminates your power bill, but it is saving the planet!
Thirdly, it is wind. Besides the turbines of a water wheel, another important homemade energy wheel is the wind mill. Windmills are one of humanity’s most ancient and trustworthy friends. In fact, there was a time, a few decades ago, before the introduction of fossil fuel electricity, that they were very, very popular among farmers, settlers and natives. They are coming back again, though. Household windmills are slowly being built in farmhouses and barns with enough open space for the wind to blow. The wind-mills are slowly finding more hopeful winds along them.
Making your own homemade energy source is a big step towards fighting economic depression and global warming. This may sound cliché, but, indeed, having a personal energy solution which is not dependent on the utility grid is a proud kind of freedom. A proud and nomadic kind of freedom to find within, I guess!
As an added bonus, home made energy does not have to cost thousands of dollars to setup (even though it would still be worth it – for all the benefits you reap from it in the long run!). Amazingly, you can purchase design plans on how to do it yourself, building solar panels, wind turbines, etc. to generate free electricity for your home! Home made energy is the way of the future, so by reading this article you are doing the right thing for yourself, and for your humanity.
