What Will It Actually Cost to Power Your Home With Free Electricity?

An authentic, free energy device is something that produces more electricity than it uses. I would further argue that when the costs of initial acquisition, installation and upkeep of a free energy system are so great that they must be spread out over many years until they have been justified by electric bill savings; such devices are not really "free.” Let’s look at a few of the devices that are currently available to observe how they stack up.



Solar Electric



Although the cost of solar panels is slowly lowering, they are still pricey even if you learn how to build them by yourself. If all you needed was the panels themselves, perhaps this cost could be justified. Unfortunately, there is much more to a solar installation than just the panels. To completely run a small house, you would require a minimum of about 3000 watts of electricity being delivered by the panels when linked together. If you use one hundred watt panels, you would have to pay for 30 panels at around $250 each equating to a total expense of 7500 dollars for the panels alone.



For a bigger house, you might have to have forty panels ($10,000) or fifty panels ($12,500). After you add in labor costs, inverters, wiring, electrical junction boxes, circuit breakers, permitting fees, a battery shed and solar batteries, you can easily watch your total price climb past 30 to 40 thousand dollars before you enjoy your first watt of free electricity. Solar panels last a long time (twenty to thirty years) but first-class solar batteries last just 10 to 12 years and then need to be replaced. My solar battery bank is at the end of its predictable lifetime and I have just been told that the replacement price will be around fourteen thousand dollars due to the rapidly climbing costs of lead! Ouch!



Depending on where you live, solar electrical current may possibly not even be possible. While solar might be justified in Miami, Florida, it most likely would not be in Seattle, Washington. Solar will generate electricity to some degree on overcast days but you will have to determine the expected number of gray days in a year to determine how many extra solar panels will be requisite to keep your batteries charged as compared to the number required in a sunnier climate.



Wind Energy



Wind energy necessitates the purchase of a wind turbine and, in most cases, a tower to raise the wind turbine up into the wind stream. Mounting a wind turbine on your roof is a bad choice unless you love extreme noise and vibration. Again, like solar, you are faced with the need for a battery bank, inverters, wiring and installation and so you will see a lot of dollars fly out the window before the power goes on.



Unlike solar panels, wind turbines don’t have a very long life expectancy because of their constantly-moving internal parts. There are also rust factors to look at, especially if you live near the sea, due to the effects of salt air on the metal parts. Again, wind power generation may perhaps not be a good choice unless you live in a location with dependably steady wind conditions with sufficient but not excessive wind speed.



The Tesla Cosmic Energy Generator



Nikola Tesla was an inventor of the early 20th century who was way ahead of his time. If there was a challenge associated with electricity or electrical power generation, Tesla always seemed to have a unique solution. However, he was put down by the powerful business interests of his time who did not want to see his ideas become public because they would cut into their very profitable, existing enterprises. One of his numerous inventions that survive in our day is his electrical generator design that takes advantage of the constant electrical power of the cosmic rays that surround the planet.



With these cosmic rays acting as one side of the electrical circuit and the earth, itself, as the other, electrical power can be created with zero moving parts. A miniature, proof-of-concept device can be created from a few dollars of parts from your local Radio Shack® store. This tiny device will only generate enough electricity to power a cell phone charger. However, using the same concept, a device big enough to electrify a whole house can be produced reasonably from widely-available plans. To date, you will not observe such a device being made for sale to the public but you can easily put together your own device by following the detailed information and drawings precisely.



The Permanent Magnet Electrical Generator



This device is actually a perpetual motion machine which we all learned in school cannot exist. The only problem with that old belief is that hundreds, if not thousands, of these generators have already been fabricated and are functioning just fine, thank you. A little proof-of-concept permanent magnet generator can be constructed from about $100 worth of parts that you can get at your local Home Depot® store. A larger generator (enough to provide power to a small house) can be constructed for somewhat more money. A big house might need 2 of these generators operating in parallel.



A permanent magnet electrical generator is much like a normal electrical generator. The difference is that the motor powering the generator, instead of consuming gasoline or Diesel fuel, operates on the power of permanent magnets alone. You most likely have learned that when you place electricity into a typical electrical motor, it will start to turn and when you turn the shaft of such a motor with another motor, it will produce electricity. The permanent magnet electrical generator requires no supply of external power to work. The little amount of power that it does require represents just about one fifth of what it is producing, so four fifths is available as entirely free energy. A device that puts out precisely the power it requires to run (and no more) is said to be operating at "unity.” An apparatus that delivers more that it requires to work is said to be functioning at "over-unity.”



The permanent magnet electrical generator and the Tesla cosmic ray generator both supply free energy without using fossil fuels or electrical power from the electric company. They will run indoors impeccably in just about any climate, day and night, continuously. They create no exhaust, fumes or other toxic vapors so they can be safely situated inside a house or apartment. The only drawback is that you, at this time, have to construct them yourself from available and inexpensive plans.



It’s not too hard for me to figure out what my next "free energy” electrical system will be. There are only 2 systems that make any financial sense and they are not solar or wind.
