How Does Wind Power Work?

The prospect of using wind power is very seductive; but does it really work?

Well it certainly does, and has done for millennia. Wind has powered sailing vessels; it has also powered grain grinding mills. These became known as windmills. The wind has also been used to power water pumps — these were still called windmills but in reality wind pumps would have been a more accurate term.

More recently the wind has been used to drive turbines that produce electricity. Quite simply the wind, acting on the blades or sails of the turbine, causes the turbine to spin thus turning the shaft on which the blades or sails are mounted. The power of this spinning shaft is then used to drive an electric generator.

It is really a very simple process which can be adapted to drive small domestic wind power turbines through to huge commercial turbines.

Many people these days build their own wind turbines and in doing so save a considerable amount of money when compared with the commercial product. Many excellent guides are available on the Internet which take the do-it-yourself handyman through the process of building and installing domestic wind power.
I see one day soon every farm having a few, why not farm wind ? put it on the grid, and collect a check every month, I don't think that it's too big of a investment, if you consider not only the savings, but the profits after it's paid for in a few years, if one handles 90% of his farm then two would get him a check every month as well as free electricity. not a bad idea to think about if you own a chunk of land where it's usually windy

How Does Solar Power Work?

Good question; how does solar power work? Why is it relevant that you have an understanding of the basics of home-produced energy? And more importantly, why could such information have a beneficial effect on your life?

Well, first of all, solar power is one of the cleanest, most effective, most efficient and most economical forms all of renewable energy available on the planet. 

Secondly, it is now possible to build your own source of domestic solar power, thanks to the many excellent do-it-yourself guides that are available on the Internet.  

What this means to you is that you can decrease and even eliminate your reliance on the electric companies’ power grids, and enjoy significant savings. These guides very clearly explain and demonstrate the process of making your own solar energy panels (and even wind turbines).

Save Big,Save Now. . . with Home Solar Energy Panels.

Are you having difficulty paying your power bills on time? Do you find yourself wishing that there was  some way that you could minimize the use of power? If so,do-it-yourself energy panels could be just what you're looking for to save money without cutting back on the use of electricity.

Giant strides have been made recently in the provision of renewable energy by utilizing power plants that can be easily built by the home handy-person at minimun cost.These developments may not be known to you,but nonetheless the natural power of the planet is being utilized in a number of ways to provide power for private homes.

This change has been made possible to a large extent because of the availability of excellent guides dealing with do-it-yourself solar energy panels.These have made it possible for homeowners to make their own panels using materials available from hardware stores.It is simple a matter of being provided with a list of materials and then proceeding to follow a simple step-by-step process.

DIY Wind Power: Don't DIY Without a Guide.

The concept of gaining power from the wind is not new - mankind has been powering boats and mills for thousands of years with the wind.In more recent times,before the advent of diesel and gasoline engines and electric motors,farmers harnessed the wind to pump water,and then later to generate electricity.

Today,pretty well anybody can harness the wind to generate electricity,and it doesn't have to cost a bundle of money.Sure,commercial wind turbines are not cheap,but you can build them yourself and it really isn't difficult;thousands of people are doing it all 'round the world - and they're saving a bundle.All you need is a well written guide that sets the task out in simple steps that really are quite easy to follow.

RENEWABLE ENERGY.The Energy of the Future.

Renewable Energy is energy generated from natural resources such as Sunlight and Wind.

Wind Power is growing at the rate of 30% annually and is widely used in European countries

and the United States.

The majority of renewable energy technologies are powered by the Sun.Solar Panel describes

two types of devices that collect energy from the Sun: 

*Solar photovoltaic modules(Solar Panels)use solar cells to convert light from the sun into

 electricity.

*Solar thermal collectors use the sun's energy to heat water or another fluid such as oil or

 antifreeze.

 It's time to Build our own Solar Power System or Wind Power System.Renewable Energy is

the Energy of the Future.We can save money and help the environment.

TURNING SOLAR POSSIBILITIES INTO EVERYDAY REALITIES.

Photovoltaic Energy : What is it?
                                                          Photovoltaic Energy is the science of converting light into electrical energy,and is achieved through the use of semiconductors,or photovoltaic solar cells.
The cell assemblies are encapsulated into water tight modules for protection from moisture and
impact.The resulting assembly is referred to as a Solar Panel or Module.The principle components
of a crystalline silicon photovoltaic module are the glass glazing,cross-linked ethylene-vinyl acetate
(EVA) encapsulant,the silicon wafers and associated wiring,a protective backsheet,and a junction box.
Today,the photovoltaic industry is experiencing rapid growth as people around the world turn to
alternative technologies,like photovoltaic and wind power generators to supply the energy needs that rapidly depleting fossil energies will not be able to meet.
