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.
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.
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.
Electricity is generated when there is a change in a magnetic field, called flux, that induces an alternating current in wire. The basic idea is that of an alternator. High strength magnets are rotated within a band of tightly bound wires to produce alternating current in the wires. The spinning magnets induce a very rapid sinusoidal change in current that can be then be put to immediate use, stored in batteries or fed back into the power grid.
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.
To feed the generated power back into the power grid, the battery bank must be wired to the house fuse box. This can be a dangerous job if the person is not experience in electric work. For this part it may be a good idea to seek a professional electrician. The benefit of this work, is that you can actually sell the excess power generated back to the local power company.
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.
