Home Made Power Plant – Built Your Magnetic Energy Generator
Have you every wanted generate your own electricity? A home made power plant can be a fun and educational project that helps to reduce monthly expenses. With just a few items and a little patience you can build your magnetic energy generator.
The components needed are an automotive alternator, a pulley mounted on the alternator axle, a belt, some kind of mechanical drive and a plate or base to mount them all on. The axles of the mechanical drive and the alternator should be parallel, so the pulley can be attached between their respective pulleys. If you choose to store the power generated, two or more deep cycle batteries should be wired to the alternator within a reasonable distance.
Some systems are available on the market that take the guess work out of creating the power generating system. These come with specific instructions, professional components and usually better end results. However, in the spirit of environmentalism, there is a lot to be said for recycling materials you already have to build the project you want.
The components are mounted on the plate within reasonable distance to each other with the axis of the mechanical drive side by side to the alternator axis. Around the pulley on the end of the alternator shaft, the belt wraps to connect the drive mechanism and turn the alternator axis. Once mounted in place, with proper belt tension, the batteries can be wired in series to the alternator.
For the purposes of most common electronics alternating current (AC) is favored as it is the common type of power available in houses. Power stored in a battery is available to use only as direct current (DC). In this case an inverter needs to be installed that converts DC current to AC current.
Most electronic devices are designed to use AC power. A DC motor will probably be the most expensive part of the system. A DC motor would also necessitate an inverter to convert the DC power to usable AC. A standard automotive alternator is usually a more reasonable, readily available option, and will work fine for a home made power plant.
A home magnetic energy generator can help save money on the power bill as well as help conserve power, reducing fossil fuels burned to power homes. While building a this can be a fun and educational project, for a longer lasting and more reliable option, a professionally built unit can be a good investment. For some parts of this project, a professional electrician should be consulted.
