In this video I’m showing you how I built some solar panels from start to finish I tried to make it as detailed as possible. These panels cost me very little to build and are fun projects for everyone. This is just one way of doing this there are lot’s of others doing this and […]
With all that to-and-fro and ebb-and-flow, the motions of the ocean offer an endless supply of renewable energy. Or they would, if engineers could figure out how to capture that power. Most prototypes for wave-energy converters have been massive and costly, or else they’re torn apart during violent storms at sea. But a Swedish company called […]
A fully green revolution of energy consumption has driven inventors to create a system that allows you to gather electricity from plant soil. Called Bioo Lite, the design entails a pot that contains electrolytic microorganisms, activated by pouring water in. Once activated, the plant is potted, dirt is filled in and photosynthesis begins. The energy […]
What if you could power your house for an entire day just by exercising for an hour, would that motivate you to do it? I just love this idea, it could even become something that can be done as a family. People often complain about the high costs of energy and the fact that they “never […]
Small wind turbines scaled to the right size for residential and urban areas have so far lived in the shadows of their larger wind-farm-sized counterparts. The power output has been too low for a reasonable return on investment through energy savings and the noise they produce is louder than most homeowners can deal with… A […]
Researchers from Oscilla Power – a US-based renewable energy company, have developed a mechanism, called Triton, that rests on the ocean surface and gathers power from the constant source of waves. The machine contains a series of generators and no moving parts, intentionally, so that it won’t be destroyed from all the jostling it’s expected to receive. “As […]
Netherlands & India Commit To 100% Electric Vehicles In Groundbreaking Announcements… In recent announcements in both India and the Netherlands, both countries said they would move entirely away from gas-powered vehicles. In India, the government is planning to shift to 100 percent electric vehicles by 2030. Piyush Goyal, the country’s power minister spoke at a […]
Open Source Ecology, an organization that promotes free and open source technology throughout the farming world, has successfully crowd sourced the prototype for their solar concentrator, a device that can absorb sunlight and turn water into steam to produce electricity. In particular, it is the French branch of Open Source Ecology (OSE) that has developed […]
This video by practical preppers covers the installation of a microhydro system in a small mountain stream. The goal was to be able to charge a 24 volt battery bank and produce about 10,000 watts (10 kW) of power a day. If this is not enough power to meet their needs, they plan to supplement it […]
Joe Carruth built this homemade solar mirror Array by himself and this is the third prototype of his design. The unit weighs 1.5 tons and is 12.5 ft x 14.5 ft of active collection area. The array condenses sun light to power a steam engine which can produce around 12kw of power. He currently manually tracks the […]
