Are there any ways to make a sustainable energy generator at home.?
I need to know this for the cabin i am planning.
also, I dont have alot of money.
More of a cheap DIY type thing.
Build yourself a rare earth magnet generator. All you need is a round cylinder that is balanced perfectly, a spindle for it to sit on. And a few dozen 50 pound pull rare earth magnets and 4 100 pound pull rare earth magnets. You have to make sure that the magnets on the cylinder are all set up perfectly so it looks like two sets of steps, (one on each side that when you get to the top the next step is the bottom step of the next set) Make sure your 100 pound pull magnets are as lost as your cylinder and set them up so that while one is pulling on a magnet that is attached to the cylinder the other is pushing one of them away. Do both sides the same and make sure none of the magnets touch at all. Then attach a pulley to the spindle and set up a 150 amp alternator so it can be belt driven by the magnet motor. Hook up 4 fully charged batteries and a 1500 watt inverter. Now you have a fully functional sustainable generator.
