If you're tired of paying your electric company whatever they ask every month... or if you've ever wondered if you could "fire" your electric company without having to reduce your energy consumption... you may be ready for alternative energy production. With the right free energy devices and sound engineering, you might be able to get the electric company to pay YOU money for your unused power!
Free energy devices have been around for more than a century. They use relatively simple technologies to generate electricity for your home by tapping into natural energy resources around you. Many people around the world have been developing, modifying, and refining these technologies. They are enthusiasts who have produced several different methods for generating energy at no cost - after construction of the system of course.
Certain alternative electricity systems are scientifically proven to be most effective, dependable, and versatile enough to meet the needs of most electricity users. Some generate electricity from electromagnetic energy which is all around us, primarily from radio waves. Some produce electrical current from static electricity.
And still another converts energy from radiation - the "radiant" rays of the sun - into electrical energy, commonly known as solar energy. Any of these systems will work, based of course on your needs and budget for purchasing the devices and installing them. Most are very easy to install for the do-it-yourselfer. And once set up, they will provide free electricity for your entire household.
In fact, you could go off the power grid altogether. With your own systems running at peak production and efficiency, you become your own offgrid power source.
But if you are already on a power grid, you can interconnect your free energy systems to the grid, and any extra electricity you produce through your own system will be delivered to your electric company. The result? A credit from the electric company, or even outright payment. You not don't have to pay them any longer... but the electric company now has to pay you for your surplus energy!

Don't Fall for These Energy Usage Myths!
All of us think we know how to conserve energy, especially electricity. But how much of what we believe is true, and how much is myth? And what energy saving measures actually save money, and not just create discomfort or inconvenience. Let's bust a few energy usage myths in this article!
Many people believe that it's more energy efficient to leave appliances on rather than turning them off and on. They think the start-up energy consumption outweighs the continued energy consumption. Is this myth, or fact?
It's a myth. Yes, it is true that starting an appliance takes more energy than actually running the appliance. But unless you're planning on turning it off and on every five seconds, it's almost always cheaper to turn the device off when it's not in use. And just turning it off isn't actually enough. Many appliances, such as digital displays, can use nearly as much energy when they're off as when they're on. So UNPLUGGING a device from the wall can save you even more money.
Another commonly held belief is that using small electric heaters to add heat to one room - rather than turning up the thermostat - will save money. This may or may not be true, depending on the type of central heating system you have and how efficient it is.
If your central heating system is electric, then yes, adding a small heater to certain rooms to "spot heat" is more cost effective than turning up the thermostat. But if your central heating system is fuel-based = gas, coal, heating oil, or propane - then no. The overall cost of heat generated by fuel-based systems is far cheaper than electricity.
What about turning off the lights when you leave the room? That's not a misconception, it's a fact. Just that tiny effort WILL save you money.
In fact, any conservation measure you practice regularly will save you money. You can turn off lights, turn off and unplug appliances. We can consolidate errands so we burn less gasoline, and take public transportation where it's available. We can turn off the water rather than just letting it run when we are brushing our teeth or washing dishes.
We don't think of ourselves as wasteful. But we are wasteful. ALL of us can do with less; we've proved it! When gas went over four dollars a gallon, we substantially reduced our use. And if we use less even when gas prices are lower, we would not only be saving energy - we'd be reducing the cost of energy for ourselves!

How do You Generate Electricity Using the Sun?
To create electricity using a solar energy system, the first thing you need is a group of of "solar cells" arranged in a "solar panel." A solar panel is made using a semi-conductive material, usually silicon. Semi-conductive materials contain electrons, which are "named after" electricity because they can generate electrical power if properly harnessed and directed.
The solar cells in a panel are called a solar "array." The more of them in a solar panel, the more electrical output you can generate from that panel.
Most of the time the electrons in a semi-conductive material are dormant. But when sunlight hits a solar cell, all that changes. Photons, which are the energy in the sun's rays, activate the electrons in the panel's cells. The solar cells absorb this energy from the sun through these "conduction electrons." With enough energy from the photons, the electrons can actually carry an electric charge all the way through a circuit.
But without enough energy from the sun, the electrons "warm up" but don't carry a charge. The panel itself becomes warm to the touch because the electrons are releasing heat. Unfortunately the lower output results in a lower efficiency cell that doesn't generate much power. This is why south facing solar energy devices are used to generate electricity, because light from the sun is strongest from the south.
Lower efficiency is caused by two factors: 1) The solar cells are not working to their full potential and "lose" electrons ; 2) when the electrons release heat, the panel becomes warm, and this can actually interfere with the functioning of the solar cells overall.
Quality cells play a role in efficiency as well. The higher the quality of the cells, the higher the cost. But that higher cost will be repaid with more efficient cells that generate more output.
Finally, solar panel efficiency is affected by location. Obviously if you live near the equator, where the sun's energy is the strongest, you will receive slightly better output from a solar cell. This is why solar cells should always have a southern exposure - in other words facing the direction of the sun - and have no trees, buildings or other obsta les blocking the sun's rays.

How Do You Generate Free Power?
There are many devices and technologies that allow you to harness energy from the sun, the wind, flowing water - in other words from common natural resources found around you and that don't cost anything. With an investment in these technologies, it's truly possible to never have to pay monthly electricity bills again. The right devices, properly set up and maintained, can help you generate usable electricity for your household indefinitely.
Generating electricity from free energy sources can be done in several ways. Three alternative energy technologies that have been proven to be efficient, reliable, and cost effective are electromagnetic radio waves, static electricity, and solar energy.
TV and radio signals - which are all around you all the time - can actually be used to generate electricity. These signals are of course intended to carry information, but they run on electromagnetic energy that can be converted into electrical energy. Electricity can also be generated from static electricity, and radiant energy from the sun can also be harnessed through the use of solar panels.
There is one warning that you need to heed, and that is to be very cautious when engaged in any electricity do-it-yourself project. Beware of the dangerous nature of electricity! If not handled with proper safety precautions, contact with "live" electrical devices and conductors can injure you severely and even be fatal.
Always follow the instructions precisely and with great caution, or hire the services of a qualified electrician to install these devices. If you want to do it yourself, your best course is to begin with the installation of very small devices that don't carry much charge. This way you can learn sound safety practices - and make non-fatal mistakes! - before graduating to a large scale installation which will generate free electricity for your entire household.
The concept of free energy is over a hundred years old, and many enthusiasts all over the world are using free energy devices today. One notable user of free energy is the inventor of the floppy disk and other devices, Dr. Nakamat. His enormous home, which includes 30 guest rooms, is completely powered by free energy devices, many of the based on the principles of the eccentric scientist Nicola Tesla’s "Magnifying Transmitter."
Dr. Nakamat’s free energy system is highly efficient. In fact, even after generating a tremendous amount of electricity to power his entire home, Dr. Nakamat's system generates SURPLUS electrical energy that he sells to the Tokyo Electric Power Company!

What Is Green Energy?
The term "green energy" is applied to all energy sources that are environmentally friendly, which means they don't pollute the air or the water. Green energy sources don't give off carbon emissions. Some examples of green energy are wind, sunlight, and water, but there are others like static electricity.
There are organizations that claim that nuclear power is also green energy. And in some ways, that's true. The emissions of nuclear power plants are negligible. But when the problem of the radioactive waste is considered, nuclear energy doesn't seem quite so "green," as we saw with the nuclear disaster in Japan.
Green energy is often thought of as coming only from renewable energy sources like wind, sunlight, geothermal, or water power caused by waves or tides. But green energy isn't limited only to energy sources provided by Mother Nature. For example, tapping into the methane gas that's generated by garbage is also considered green energy.
However, the fact is that there is not any "totally" green energy. The solar panels and solar cells, the wind turbines, and the other machinery needed to capture energy from natural sources all must be manufactured, and many of those manufacturing facilities do not run on green energy.
Still, the technology for using green energy is out there, and many businesses and individuals are taking advantage of it. Solar cells are used to light signs on highway construction sites. They're also used to power lighting in parking facilities.
Businesses that install solar panels and operate "off the grid" or that make use of solar power often advertise that fact and consider it as a positive marketing message. Green certificates or green tags are issued in many countries, and businesses that use green energy display them proudly.
The fact is that air and water pollution is a problem that affects all of us. If we can find ways to harness green energy, we should.
