		<description>Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live completely, 100% “off of the grid and are completely self sufficient”

There are no utility lines, no water lines, no roads, tv, cell service, etc. on our ranch. EVERYTHING needed is produced here. All electricity comes from 27 solar panels, 2 main wind gens and a back hydrogen generator if needed (typically we can last 9 days with all luxuries of sunless windless weather, hasn&#039;t happened yet). Water is caught and storage from the rain. Hot water is made with solar batch water heaters with an on-demand hydrogen hot water heater as backup. solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet. Even our vehicles use alternative energy (2 hydrogen trucks, 1 EV electric vehicle converted). Because of this we have no bills, no debt and no mortgage.

Anyone interested can check it out at..

www agua-luna com


Electricity from the wind is one of the simplest forms of alternative energy. i&#039;ve personally built over a dozen wind gens and currently run all my electrical needs off of 2 wind turbines and a couple dozen home made solar panels. 

Basically think of the little motor in your car (the alternator), but instead of it being turned by a belt driven by your car&#039;s engine powered gas, it&#039;s turned by the wind. 

I offer a step by step DIY guide to walk anyone interested threw the process. You can find it at www agua-luna com or you can email me.

The fallowing steps were taking directly out of a DIY guide I offer to those who would like to run their homes on wind power safely, reducing their monthly utility bills or even selling power back the electrical companies. The entire guide is available at www agua-luna com


&quot;This manual is based on using a 260 VDC, 5 A continuous duty Treadmill Motor with a 6 inch threaded hub. These motors are available for under $50 from most motor surplus stores. We are getting about 7 amps in a 30 mph wind. In other words, it is a simple, cheap little machine to get you started.  &quot;

&quot;ASSEMBLY
1.Place the motor on top of the square tubing and bolt it in, using the two 5/16” x ¾” bolts.
2.Place the diode on the square tubing, about 2” behind the motor, and screw it into position using the self-tapping metal screw. 
3.Connect the black wire coming out of the motor to the positive incoming terminal of the diode (Labeled AC on the positive side). 
4.Connect the red wire coming out of the motor to the negative incoming terminal of the diode (Labeled AC on the negative side).
5.Center the tail over the square tubing, at the back end. Clamp your tail onto the side of the square tubing. 
6.Using 2 self-tapping screws, screw the tail in place. 
7.Place each blade on the hub so that all the holes line up.  Using the ¼&quot; bolts and washers, bolt the blades to the hub.  For the inner three holes, use two washers per bolt, one on each side of the blade. For the outer three holes, just use one washer next to the head of the bolt. Tighten.
8.Hold the end of the shaft of the motor (which comes through the hub) firmly with pliers, and turn the hub counterclockwise until it tightens and stops. 
9.Screw the nipple tightly into the floor flange using a pipe wrench.
10.Clamp the nipple in a vice so that the floor flange is facing up and level.
11.Place the square tubing (and everything that is on it) on top of the floor flange and move it so that it is perfectly balanced.
12.Through the holes of the floor flange, mark the square tubing at the point of balance.
13.Drill these two holes using a 5/32&quot; drill bit. You will probably have to take off the hub and tail to do this).
14.Attach the square tubing to the floor flange with two sheet metal screws. 
For a longer life span of your wind generator, you should paint the blades, motor sleeve, mount and tail.&quot;

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

		<description>it is not that easy, first off,

first, you need to have the air flow to turn your wind generator. (you can build or buy, look at wind-x  i don&#039;t remember exactly what it is called,but that is a start, for internet search under alternate energy

next, you have to produce enough power to use, that is if you have a load of 5000 max watts, ac running, refrig, and other things in the power drain, you need more than 5000 watts so that you don&#039;t have a brown out.

if you use batteries, you will be using an inverter.
the most effienct systems use wind, solar panels, and batteries along with some grid power to help when the other two fail

typically, a system will require 25 years to pay for itself

i&#039;m currenly building such a system with the help of some friends by email and asking questions

		<title>Comment on How much less pollution does solar power produce? by Rudydoo</title>

		<description>Hey Rp, interesting question.  If I understand you correctly, you are trying to figure out how much pollution, such as CO2 is produced building a solar panel, and balance it against how much power it will produce in its lifetime.  Actually, there has been some very good research done in this area by Solar Energy International.  Several years ago, there were claims made that a solar panel will never produce as much energy as there was used in manufacturing it.  Turns out this is not only false, but unimportant, I&#039;ll explain.  The amount of, &quot;Embodied Energy,&quot; in a solar panel refers to how much energy is used in mining for materials, shipping to the factory, building the device, then shipping and installing it at the user location.  It&#039;s a little difficult to get exact numbers on this, but Solar Energy International did a study some time ago, and the put a range on each of the items involved in making a solar panel.  Depending on the shipping distance, and the amount of sun the panel receives each day, a panel will take from 1.5 to 6.25 years to produce energy equivalent to its embodied energy.  Most panels are warrantied to last 25 years, and typically they run much longer than this, so it isn&#039;t really an issue.  The reason the question is unimportant is this:  Let&#039;s suppose you make a 100 watt solar panel, and put it next to a 100 watt natural gas fired electric turbine.  Which will earn back it&#039;s embodied energy first.  The answer is the turbine never does, because once you build, ship and install the turbine, you now have to continue to feed it natural gas the rest of its life.  At least the panel has a chance to break even during its lifetime.

So an average panel will produce power equivalent to its embodied energy in about 4 years.  An average panel produces its rated power for 4.5 hours per day, 5 days per week.  This works out to about 1200 hours per year.  So a 100 watt panel will produce around 120 kilowatthours (KWH) of electricity per year, depending on where it is installed in the world, and the weather.  Four years of this yields 480 KWH of electricity.  Roughly speaking, manufacturing a 100 watt panel will produce 960 pounds of CO2, then produce enough electricity in  its lifetime to offset 8400 pounds of CO2 from a coal fired power plant, not a bad return on investment.

This is part of the reason we decided 10 years ago to convert our home over to wind and solar power.  It&#039;s been fun and exciting, and our panels are still producing full power today.  If you want to learn more, here are some sources below to  check out.  You might decide to try your hand at growing your own electrons someday, or you might not, but at least you will be well informed.  Good luck, and take care, Rudydoo</description>

		<description>I make my own wind power at home to power some of my household electrical items. It is relatively easy to set up and below is the link to teach you how to make wind power.

		<description>the production of electricity from solar is almost zero. The production of the solar equipment is high, and the solar farm requires a very large area. Add that the solar panels need to be cooled with fresh water, so the water needs to be cleaned and circulated.</description>
