A Home Made Power Plant, Build Your Magnetic Energy Generator To Save Money
To build your own magnetic energy generator can be an educational and cost saving project. In the move to more sustainable sources of power, you can reduce your power consumption or take your home off of the power grid completely by producing your own electric power. With a little mechanical knowledge you can build your own home made power plant.
A magnetic generator is an electromechanical device that creates an electric current from mechanical motion. A coil of tightly wrapped wires, surrounds a series of magnets that are free to rotate about an axis in the middle of the coil. In the presence of a changing magnetic field, called flux, an electromotive current is produced that can power electric devices. The type of current produced is Alternating Current and is the class found in any home outlet.
The basic components included an automobile alternator (or generator if that’s all that is available), a mechanical drive such as a bicycle or windmill, a pulley, a belt and a mounting plate. The automobile alternator is one of the easier to locate and less expensive options for electricity production. In addition, it matches the type current used by most standard electronic devices. To store the power created for later use two or more deep cycle batteries can be wired to the batteries.
The electric current comes from the changing magnetic field as a result of the spinning magnetic core in the alternator. Similarly, some people may opt to use a dynamo to produce direct current. This would necessitate an inverter to change the type of current for everyday use. Any thing can be used as the mechanical drive, whether bicycle or windmill, if it turns the shaft should work.
All pieces are mounted onto the mounting bracket or plate. The pulley sits on the alternator shaft, around which the belt connects it to the mechanical drive that provides the motion to create the electricity. These are the very basics. In addition, the power will have to be fed to a battery bank, fuse box or simple cigarette lighter outlet. For these operations some knowledge of wiring is important.
For those who wish to sell excess electricity generated from their home made power plant, it is possible to wire the system to an in home fuse box. This requires knowledge of electrical wiring, or consultation of a professional electrician.
For the self starting and inventive person, to build your own magnetic energy generator can be an exciting goal. The reward being educational as well as monetary. This small step towards home self sufficiency is attainable for almost any one and should be considered a real possibility towards environmental sustainability with a decent payoff.
