Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year! Whatever you may think about global warming climate change is a reality. I happen to believe that we missed an opportunity at the recent Copenhagen Climate change summit to change things for the better for our children and grand children by not agreeing to binding figures on emissions.

All reports suggest that this year of 2010 is going to be another difficult one for most economies throughout the world. Many countries are still in recession or only just emerging from recession, so surely it is time for each of us not just to help save the environemt as individuals, but to save ourselves some money and protect ourselves from rising energy costs.

I am not just talking about things like building our own solar panels or wind turbines or even magnetic power generators, but about the simple inexpensive things we can do to save money on energy costs. Simple things like not leaving electrical equipment on standby, closing doors behind us, turning off lights in rooms when we leave them.  We could also start to change our light bulbs for energy efficient ones, replace any domestic appliances that have expired with eco-friendly appliances.

We can also draught proof our doors and windows, and generally improve insulation in our properties. Why not make it a new years resolution to reduce your electricity bill by conserving energy in your home. There are many simple things you can do . Have a look at my free report on energy saving in the home to the right of this post. I wish you all a happy, healthy, prosperous and money saving 2010.

Hi,

       Happy Christmas to everyone! As we celebrate today the birth of Christ I hope that Christian leaders around the world and even non-Christians will reflect on the wasted opportunity and their selfish self interest demonstrated at the recent conclusion to the Climate change summit in Copenhagen in not agreeing to any binding action to curb global warming.

One wonders if they will only begin to take global warming seriously and be prepared to take decisive action when a disaster happens due to climate change. I am of course talking about for instance some low lying countries which will just disappear as sea levels rise. I am sure we all hope that it will never happen.

There are things that we can do individually however small to reduce our own carbon footprints. It may be as simple as changing a few of our light bulbs to lower energy light bulbs. Or we may decide to generate our own energy at home by building solatr panels to heat water or generate electricity, or perhaps build a wind turbine or magnetic power generator to generate free electricity. In doing any of these things at least we can make a contribution to climate change even if our leaders are not prepared to do so.

Hi,

With the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit reaching its conclusion this Friday, it is highly likely that Governments will encourage us all not to fly. Aircraft apparently contribute significantly to global warming due to the carbon emissions as a result of the fossil fuels they burn.

When we do fly in future we may be asked to offset our carbon footprints in some way as a matter of course. Indeed Carbon offset companies already exist. The most frequent method used by companies is to offset your carbon footprint by planting a tree.  Trees of course absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and so help to reduce carbon emissions.

There are of course many ways to reduce our carbon emissions. One obvious way is to use our cars less often, particularly for short journeys. I am sure many of us are used to jumping into the car to visit the local shop for the odd grocery item or a newspaper, when we could easily walk. The great benefit of this method is that we will be taking exercise which is very good for our health.

What other methods can we use? I am sure that many of do not want to have to plant a tree every time we take a flight, but how about changing one of our light bulbs to an energy efficient light bulb. According to the experts if we change three standard 100w light bulbs with energy efficiency equivalents, we can save 1Kg of CO2 in eight hours.

Surely this is a very simple way to reduce our carbon footprints. The energy saving light bulbs are a little more expensive but they last longer and are perfectly adequate to light your home or office. They now come in different shapes and despite reports of them causing skin alergies in a very small percentage  of people, I would recommend them. I have changed more than 90% of the light bulbs in my house for energy efficient equivalents and am delighted with the result. you just need to get used to the light taking a little longer to come on.  

Hi,

There is lots of talk these days about “Green Energy Resources” and renewable resources. I am sure that for some it is sometimes confusing to understand exactly what they are and indeed if they are applicable to us. There are probably at least seven green energy resources in existence at present.

Many other sources are under examination. The Green resources that most of us are familiar with are Solar energy and wind energy. Solar panels are now widely used to generate electricity and heat water. Wind energy is also well established in the form of wind turbines. More recently it has been demonstrated that magnetic power generators can produce electricity.

Large scale green energy Resources are now being adopted by Governments to generate electricity in the form of wind turbines. They talk also of using wave power to generate electricity, but so far little progress has been made. However some initiatives have been started such as the scheme in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland where there is a giant underwater windmill which uses the power of an eight knot tide to turn a turbine to generate electricity.

Hydro electricity has been established for a long time, and Biomass is now beginning to attract more interest in the form of wood burning. Then there is Geothermal energy which extracts heat from the earth. Some of these Green Resources are only suitable for largescale operations, so what can we use in the home?

We can build our own solar panels to generate electricity and to heat our water. We can build a magnetic generator to produce electricity, and where there is sufficient wind speed we can build out own wind turbines to generate electricity. If you are in an area where there are forests, or a wood chip depot then you can and really should use a wood burning stove for water and space heating as it is carbon neutral. Geothermal heat pumps can be used to heat a domestic dwelling, but whilst the heat from the earth is free, the electricity required to operate the system makes it not completely green.

I have lived in a house with a wood burning stove and it was excellent and economical for space heating and water heating. I have solar panels to heat the water in my present house and enjoy hot water all day long from the sun from April to September. I have not yet tried solar panerls to generate electricity, or indeed magnetic power to generate electricity, but I will try one of these in the future to make a saving on electricity bills.

Hi,
The really important climate change summit in Copenhagen is almost upon us. Many Governments have stated that they are really keen that a really meaningful agreement on reduction of emissions should be the outcome. I wonder what we can realistically expect?

On thing is for sure the measures that Governments take will be unlikely to have any immediate affect on us as individuals. There are still a large group of people who do not believe that despite the scientific evidence that global warming is caused by emissions.

I think that the important thing to remember here is that fossil fuels will not last for ever, and developing natural sources of energy will save us money. This is most important at a time of economic hardship. The crucial thing about natural sources of energy is that as individuals we can for a modest sum build these natural energy systems in our own homes and reduce our energy bills.

So if you are sceptical about climate change, then consider the amount of money you can save on your household bills by investing in natural energy systems such as solar panels and wind turbines. You can even make money by selling excess electricity back to the grid.

Hi,
Do you live near a forest?
How would you like to use a Carbon free solution to heating your home?

A recent report by the Forestry commission in the UK states that one million trees could be felled each year without depleting the stock. This wood could be used to heat 250,000 homes. Wood burning stoves are becoming more polular, but unfortunately new homes being built do not have them. Surely this is an oversight on the part of builders.

The burning of wood is a carbon neutral process unlike gas or oil. The only proviso is that you are near to a supply of wood. If it has to be transported to your home from some distance then the carbon expended in transportation negates the carbon neutral aspect. wood burning stoves come in varying types and are becoming more and more refined. They are not cheap to buy and install, but in the long run worth it.

The cost of buying and installing a wood burning stove is probably several thousand pounds, but the cost to heat your house is going to much less than using gas or oil. the wood is going to rot if is not used, and provided that new trees are planted when trees that are felled then this is a renewable energy resource.

Are you tired of constantly rising electricity Bills?

Now you can build your own FREE electricity generator at Home!

Hi Everyone,

The possibility to generate our own FREE electricity at home is an attractive proposition for many families who are struggling at this time to pay their bills.

There are three alternative energy resources that will generate FREE electricity. Solar power, wind power and magnetic power. Lets look at how to generate FREE electicity at home and the factors to take on board when deciding which type of generator will suit your needs.

The location of your home is important if you are considering wind power energy. In order to get the most benefit from installing a wind turbine at your home you will need to check on the wind speed at your location. Experts state that the wind speed needs to be 5 to 6 metres per second. You obtain this imformation from your local met office, or wind resource organisation.

Clear Exposure to wind is also important. If your house is surrounded by trees or tall buildings this will affect your exposure.

Location is also a factor when considering to erect solar panels to generate electricity. Although Photovoltaic cells used to generate electricity only require daylight to produce electricity, the greater the exposure to the sun and the intensity the greater the amount of electricity will be generated. normally solar panels are fitted to the roof of the house, but if this is not possible they can be mounted on a platform away from the house and away from any obstruction by tall trees or buildings. I have not used either of these systems yet, although I have used solar panels to heat water.

The third type of FREE electricity generator is the magnetic power energy. I have not used this system myself as yet although I intend to do so. If you live in a location that is not exposed to much wind or sunshine then this may be the system to suit you. The magnetic power generator does not depend on any other resource to operate. It will work in any location, takes up little space and most importantly once it is started with a battery it runs indefinitely . The magnetic power generator will operate in any extremes of temperature and is safe to use.

Hi,

         I am sure you may have heard that a number of countries are now embarking on plans to build nuclear plants to generate electricity. Is it not amazing at a time of world recession with millions of people unemployed and struggling to make ends meet that governments want to develop dirty energy solutions which cost billions.

I say dirty because the radioactive waste from nuclear power stations cannot be destroyed and has to buried in concrete deep in the earth. In the UK this week the Government have announced that they are pressing ahead with plans for further nuclear power stations, yet they cannot even afford to decommission the older nuclear power stations.

The really stupid reality is that even if they start building new nuclear power stations now, they will not be ready by 2020 when it is reckoned that they will be needed.  They make gestures towards greener energy, but in practice do nothing apart from a few small wind turbine projects.

There is little doubt that it is going to be up to individuals to create their own electricity in order to avoid a blackout situation in years to come. Fortunately it is now possible for anyone to build their own solar power system, wind power system or magnetic power system at home and avoid the ever increasing power costs.  You can see details of how to do this on this blog.

Hi,

        I am sure that you have heard about battery powered cars and perhaps even hydrogen powered cars. Now there is a compressed air car. It uses a motor powered by compressed air, and can be operated on both gasoline and compressed air or just compressed air. A compressed air engine works by expanding compressed air.

Engines can  operate with pistons or turbines. These engines can improve performance by heating the compressed air. The present engine and car has been developed by a frenchman although compressed air engines have been around in different forms for many years.

Hi,
How do magnetic power generators compare with wind power generators. Both produce free electricity, but there the similarity ends. A wind power generator, or wind turbine harnesses the power of wind to operate a small turbine which generates electricity. It therefore depends on the resource of wind. On the other hand magnetic power generators do not depend on any other source to generate free electricity.

Lets look at the wind turbine first. It is possible to cut your electricity bill by 50% if you build a wind turbine. What are the requirements?

1. Find the Wind speed at your location. ( this needs to be in the region of 5 to 6 metres per second).
2. Planning permission. You may need planning permission if you are erecting a wind turbine away
from your house.
3. Clear exposure to the wind. You need to ensure that there are no obstructions such as trees or other buildings.

The magnetic power generator has none of these requirements. It takes up little space and can be put in a corner of your garage. It does not depend on any other source, and once started with a battery it runs by itself indefinitely.

What does each cost to build? Each requires a manual and in each case they can be found online for less than $50. The components for each can be found anywhere in the world in a local hardware store and each device costs around $100 to built.

The Savings in electricity bills for a wind turbine are from 50% to 80% and with magnetic power generators from 30% to 50%. In each case if you build a large enough system you can eliminate your electricity bill altogether. The choice comes down to location really. If you do not live in an area where there is sufficient wind then the magnetic power generator may be more suitable. The idea of being able to generate free electricity is I am sure appealing to you. I have not used either of these systems myself yet. Check my affiliate links for details of how to build a
