Wind generators are perfect if you live in a windy place or your solar panels are no longer enough to cover your energy needs. But before you start buying the materials for one, it’s imperative that you do a wind assessment test beforehand to see if the wind current is enough to produce the desired output. Without these tests, the risk of ditching the entire project and losing your initial investments are at an all-time high.

First, you need access to GIS (geographic information system). These are public data sets collected and maintained by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Using their specialized tool, the said data sets can be used to calculate the potential amount of electricity that can be produced within the area of concern. Once you have the green signal to build a wind generator, the next task is to know the right resources or manuals to start out the project.

If you want to save money, consider building your own wind generator; the cost of finding your own materials than buying a ready-made windmill is comparatively lower. The only obstacle you will be likely to face is when the manuals are not readily available, or you are not a technically-inclined person.

To build a wind generator, you will need the main parts such as the blades, DC motor and the mast, all of which can be purchased from your local hardware stores. You also need batteries where you store the generated energy. If the budget is limited, use recycled batteries instead of buying new ones.

The majority of today’s homemade wind generators are built in horizontal axis. This is a popular design, and you see lots of them when you go to the countryside or farms. Since the blades rotate horizontally on an axis, a mast or vertical tower is needed to hold the whole structure. Ideally, the higher the mast, the faster the wind and the more energy can be generated. However, in real practice, this isn’t feasible for a homemade one due to the cost of building a mast to support it.

A better solution would be to build multiple smaller units outputting just 1000 to 3000 watts rather than one complicated and pricey wind structure. A single unit cannot supply your entire power needs, but eventually, as you build one generator after the other, you will be able to cover all your energy needs.

Most wind generators consist of 2 to 4 blades, which is already efficient in terms of power generation. Two blade turbines are generally cheaper but are less efficient while having four blades are the best but are costly. Either way, building a wind generator can save you lots of money over time, and will let you go green while doing it.

A magnetic electricity generator is also widely known as a free electricity generator. The idea is to use the force of magnets to induce motion. But what does motion have to anything with generating electricity with magnets?

The answer is simple. If you ever wonder how water turbines and wind turbines generate electricity, you would learn that they use motors of any scale that use motion to generate electricity. It’s the same concept with magnetic generators. Magnets are embedded into designs that contain a motor. The shaft of the motor is coordinated with the motion of the magnets. The motor, here, is the device that uses the rotation of the shaft to convert mechanical energy into electricity. Therefore, by designing the generator to capture the motion the magnets produce, magnetic electricity is achieved. The strength of the magnets highly determines the efficiency of a magnetic generator. They can be scaled in size to empower electrical needs of any type; most of all magnetic electricity generators produce alternating current that’s compatible with a house’s electricity line which is a feature that requires additional machinery in solar panels or wind turbines.

The use of magnetic electricity generators for the production of electricity is not a concept that has reached mainstream as yet. It has been said by many that large energy corporations have tried their level best to keep this concept hidden, due to the fact that it may ruin their profits once the common man gains access and further develops the idea. However, some scientists have managed to re-write the whole concept so that it could be understood by the common man in order to be made use of.

Building a magnetic electricity generator is not an entirely difficult task. All that’s required is some basic knowledge on the subject, along with some building and wiring skills. A generator, properly tweaked, will have the capacity to power up your entire house. There are many other specifics that it needs to be built upon to make it a device that will actually be beneficial. It is also a device that will suit any type of setting or surrounding, no matter where you live.

Despite it’s capacity of producing electricity in a much efficient manner compared to other types of alternative electricity generators, pre-made magnetic electricity generators are a rare sight which remains a mystery. However, DIY electricity enthusiasts are now building these devices based on professional guidance, in the form eBooks.

A residential magnetic electricity generator can help you produce safe, clean, renewable energy without harmful by-products and can also help you go completely off the grid.
