Breaking News: Magnetic Generators are secretly being utilized by several companies worldwide, since this video was published. 
Free electricity is the dream of each and every adult who has ever had to pay exorbitant utility bills. Furthermore, if you are a person who is also conscious about being environmentally friendly like me then you must be bracing yourself every time you think about all the carbon footprints that you leave behind.
Currently, the financial and the environmental aspects are the major concerns of the world, and most countries are trying to come up with ways to negate problems in both sectors. The irony is that the solution has already been found.
There are three types of cheap and environmentally friendly electricity generators for home use that I have personally seen. I have one electricity generator installed in my basement and I have seen others at the houses of my environment club friends. The funniest aspect of this is that each of the three electricity generators that I am going to describe was made by the owner himself.
The following are details.
Wind energy is an extremely effective alternate source of energy that is extremely useful in highly windy regions. Best locations are ridge lines, coastlines, and the tops of barren hills. The concept is to use the wind to turn wind turbines that in turn convert the mechanical energy into electricity. Modern systems make use of microprocessors to optimize the efficiency of the generators.
Small scale wind power generators for home use are capable of generating up to 20 kilowatts of electricity under ideal conditions - enough power for the consumption of most U.S. households. Unlike large scale wind turbines, while rotation speed is maintained constant by gears and processors, the output power from small scale wind generators for home use varies according to the wind speed. Electronic converters are used to convert the irregular power into useable energy for the house.
The smallest wind turbine system that comes with 6-foot rotors can produce 400 watts of power from wind speed of 28 mph. It cost about $1,000 excluding installation charges.
A 15-foot rotors wind turbine system can potentially outputs 3.2 kilo Watts from 28 mph wind speed. This system cost around $8,000 with installation materials.
However, to achieve the stated power output, the wind turbine must be mounted at least 30 feet above ground level, and 200 feet away from any obstructions.
Caution: Strong wind could cause the wind turbine come crashing down and kill someone if it is not mounted properly.
A good step-by-step guide is probably what you needed next, after examining all the pros and cons, and you have decided to go for it. There are not many comprehensive and yet layman oriented guide available. This particular guide I found could be quite helpful. Click here to learn more.
If you have easy access to a waterway that provides consistent and powerful flowing water, you may want to think about creating small scale Hydropower generators for home use.
Similar to solar system, the hydropower generators operated with batteries, that store extra energy generated. This is to enable the availability of uninterrupted power supply when the power consumption is higher than the power production of the hydropower generators.
You need to take measurements on your water source:
For moving water: You need to measure the water flow and speed. Flow is the amount of water passes a given point in a minute. Speed can be measured by tossing a stick into the water and time its travel over a defined distance.
For stationary water: A pipe system that produces maximum pressure is needed: There are two types:
1. High fall (head) - low volume: comparable in nature to the standard, running water mill type of dam.
2. High volume - low-head: comparable in physics to an impoundment dam, where the turbine is situated a distance under the extent of water in the reservoir
Living besides a river or lake does not grant you the right to use the water to generate energy for your own consumption. You should consult the relevant water regulative agencies and acquire all necessary permits before you do anything.
This is a new breed of electricity generator that has come into the limelight only recently.
An electricity generator functions on the basic principle of magnetism which states that magnets with opposing polarity will attract each other while similar polarity will repel each other. Typically, magnetic power generators for home use consist of 3 magnets. 2 of them oppose each other and produce a force field. The 3rd magnet creates the balance where the motor converts the force field into energy. A well design magnetic generator can possibly produce 7 Kilo Watts of power.
These devices do not depend on external sources of power, climate conditions, or the location of the house. They are claimed to be able to run on itself, and hence potentially capable of producing power perpetually.
The beauty of magnetism is that, it is abundant and always present. Furthermore, it is not flammable or combustible, therefore completely safe to use and operate.
Potentially capable to eliminating 20%-50% of your usual household power bill, this motor is compact in size and can work in every home. Unlike solar power or wind power, magnetic motor works in any climate conditions and the materials needed to build can be easily obtained at any hardware store near you.
As it does not contain any hazardous parts or neither does it consume fuel, it is a eco-friendly and clean solution.
In fact, to build your own magnetic electricity generator for home use is not as difficult as I thought. You just need to follow a proper step-by-step guide, and the motor can be built within a couple of hours. You should take a look at this guide, which explains everything in details. Best thing is that, you don't need to be an engineer to comprehend the guide.
