In today's difficult economic times, with energy prices that have been rising slowly but steadily for years, many homeowners are taking a serious looks at alternative or "green" energy systems to reduce their home power bill. Solar panels are perhaps the most popular, followed by wind turbines, and then geothermal heat pumps. There's another clean, renewable power system, however, that few people have heard of and that is extremely well suited to residential use.
It's a magnetic power generator, also known as a perpetual motion generator, which uses perpetual motion magnets to generate electricity.
Because a perpetual motion generator is a relatively obscure device, this article will try to quickly introduction to it, including both its benefits and drawbacks.
Benefits
A magnetic generator has several benefits that make it a good choice for a renewable home power system. These include:
- Small size
- Low maintenance
- Durability
- Continuous operation
- Constant electrical output
- Self-powering
- Safe to operate
- Eco-Friendly
- Can provide 30%-50% of home electricity
A perpetual motion generator is very much like any electrical generator. Instead of using fossil-fuel powered steam turbines to turn the rotor of the generator, however, it uses the push-pull effect of polar opposite perpetual motion magnets to keep the rotor spinning indefinitely.
Magnetic generators are very versatile. They are relatively small-roughly the size of a garbage can-so they don't take up much space even in a small home. Furthermore, perpetual motion magnets are not affected by temperature, so magnetic generators can operate in extreme conditions. Although you may not want to leave it outside exposed to the wind, rain, and snow, they'll do just fine in an unheated or un-air conditioned garage, basement, or attic.
Unlike wind and solar power, which only generate electricity at certain times and under certain conditions, magnetic generators operate continuously. Moreover, the perpetual motion magnets produce a stable, constant stream of electricity at a rate of about 24 kilowatts a day. Although this may not be enough to power you entire home, it can reduce you power bill by (depending on the size of your house) between thirty and fifty percent.
Finally, magnetic generators are completely safe. They don't burn fuel or release greenhouse gasses or any other toxic byproduct. They are safe for you, your family, your home, and the environment.
Drawbacks
A perpetual motion generator does have a few disadvantages, however. These include:
- Breakdowns are possible
- Limited electrical output
- Rare
- Expensive
The perpetual motion generator is a relatively new renewable energy system, especially compared to waterwheels and windmills, both of which go back to the ancient Romans or earlier. Although using perpetual motion magnets to generate electricity has been around in theory for over twenty years, the technology has been perfected for practical use only relatively recently.
For both these reasons, magnetic generators are not yet generally available for consumer use. The companies that will sell a perpetual motion generator are few and far between. When magnetic generators can be found for sale, they are usually rather expensive. Prices start at $5000 and only climb from there.
Another option that many homeowners have embraced is building their own magnetic generator. Blueprints, schematics, and do-it-yourself kits for building magnetic generators can be found online. You can also purchase the perpetual motion magnets, a key component of the magnetic generator, online. All other materials needed to build a magnetic generator can be found relatively easily. If you have a little free time, you can try to build your own perpetual motion generator for less than $100.
