Solar Power – The New Energy Source
Written by admin on February 9, 2010 – 8:00 am -
If you want to go to solar power for your home or business then now may be the time to do it. Though you will probably still have quite a bit of out of pocket expense, if you live in the United States then you will most likely qualify for tax incentives to offset some of your cost. You should keep in mind that these systems are expensive but they may save you a lot of money as well.
A special system can be installed that will convert sunlight to solar power and run the electrical devices in your home or business. You will need a special box that will hook up to your current system as well as solar panels. These items may need to be installed by professionals for safety reasons. You local power company will need to approve and help with this as well.
Some companies sell do it yourself kits and videos. To me these seem more suited to science projects. As much as I would like to try these I am also very skeptical. Anytime electricity is involved there is a certain amount of risk. I have a hard time believing I could set up a system like this without starting a fire or getting electrocuted.
I have no doubt that solar energy is the way to go if you can. Not only can this cut your electric bill but it is also earth friendly. In years to come we may well see the end of fossil fuel use in countries around the world. This fuel simply can’t last forever and alternatives must be found.
Solar energy can be used with other energy sources to make sure you always have enough energy to run your home or business. Your regular power supply is still hooked up even with the solar power supply. This means that even if there is no sun for weeks at a time you can still have power you need.
At least one site did mention the need for permits. This may be a very complex project and you will need to do some research before trying any do it yourself kits. There are special boxes needed and it sounds fairly complex.
Some of the products that run on solar power are nice and you don’t need a special system installed. The outdoor lights look really great. They are easy to install and no cords to run or trip over. The cars are still a long way from being marketable though.
Keep in mind that electricity of any kind can be dangerous. Check all local laws and follow any safety instructions before you try to do any electrical work on your own. Professional advice may be helpful. If you know an electrician then they may be willing to give free advice on this matter.
Prices will probably come down in coming years. If you can’t afford this now then you may be able to before long. Solar power will most likely be around for a very long time to come and one day everything may be run at least in part by this energy source.
Solar power provides an efficient and environmentally friendly source for energy. In order to promote a greener society, wind power should also be considered as an alternative option.

How to make a small windmill from a permanent magnet motor
Written by admin on August 2, 2009 – 3:52 pm -
Making a small windmill from garden decoration, and a motor. The larger the motor is
stronger wind is needed to turn the rotor, but also the output will be greater. Using a
rotor with viewer blades will let it spin faster but will also need more windpower. This rotor was easy to use. I found it at a dollar store.

A Pathway for Widespread Geothermal Energy
Written by admin on August 2, 2009 – 3:52 pm -
February 11, 2009 lecture by Jefferson Tester for the Woods Energy Seminar (ENERGY301). In his talk “A Pathway for Widespread Utilization of Geothermal Energy–the Roles of Multi-scale Resource and Technology Research and Systems Analysis,” Tester talks about the benefits and challenges of harnessing geothermal energy, and he asserts that it is a large resource that complements solar and wind energy and is both carbon free and scalable.
The Woods Energy Seminar is an interdisciplinary series of talks primarily by Stanford experts on a broad range of energy topics. Jefferson Tester is the David Croll Chair for Sustainable Energy Systems and Associate Director for the Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Cornell University.

(STEP 7) PPG-12V-200W-PMM How to make a permanent magnet motor bike generator : Powertwist belt
Written by admin on June 1, 2009 – 9:39 am -
from http://pedalpowergenerator.com
This video deals with installing the 2 inch pulley onto the generator 1/2 inch shaft using an allen wrench. Then it goes into how to adjust the adjustable V-belt Powertwist belt so you have the proper tension on the belt. You will need to determine proper tension by measuring belt deflection with 2 Lbs of force applied, which should come to be some around 0.75 inches. After that, this video goes into how to hook up your pedal power bicycle generator to a Duracell power pack that contains a 20 Amp Hour lead acid battery. You are required to read the onwer’s manual for your power pack before hooking up. ESPECIALLY THE SECtION ON SAFETY. The powerpack is connected via a set of jumper cables to the bike generator assembly positive and negative bolt / lugs. Next you will need to adjust the charge voltage set on the NC25A charge controller. Most lead acid or AGM (Absorbed glass mat) batteries can be charged at a typical level that a car runs at which is 14.8 Volts DC. After things are hooked up you will need a DC volt meter to determine of you generator is working.
