win turbine/solar project

starting a new project myself to put some of my own ideas to the test

i am going to build a wind turbine and solar power plant to part power my house

going to take doing this but i reckon it should at least halve my current electricity usage - or i bloody hope so or my theory is cock-eyed again

any advice you may have will be appreciated - it may stop me going down too many dead ends - but it will be fun just the same

i will keep you posted - just dont be in too much of a rush

create home energy
we all know about solar panels and wind turbines - what about a water turbine in your water pipes as the water flows it spins and creates free electric

bio mass plants burn waste to create energy so why not cut back all of the grass etc from road side bankings and central reserve and use this - that way more of of the grass would get cut as it would pay for its self - so winners all round the bankings could be cut for free and plenty of bio mass for the power plants

i see lots of wind turbines stood still on windy days and apparently this is because the grid does not need the energy at that time - this points to an obvious fault in the system - why do we not have large storage facilities for power and then feed it back into the system when needed - if you can do it with batteries at home i am sure the power companies can do it as well if not on a bigger scale of course - that way we could get much more benefit from renewable sources

introduction
this blog is to get random ideas out of my head and out to you do something with
if you use an idea good luck with it but remember where it came from

internal combustion engines ? wasted energy in the radiator - could it not be used to create energy for some other purpose ?

remember the dynamos in the middle of bike wheels why not put these in car wheels could power a battery - in turn this could power a motor attatched to the flywheel to aid power in the engine - to give more power and cut fuel consumption


flexible solar panels on roof could power the same

if you put big dynamos in the wheels and only activate them when braking this would power your battery and the extra energy used by the dynamos would have a braking effect like a retarder and increase the brakes power and reduce brake wear

invisible car ?

yes easy to create - lcd panels on all sides of car wired to digi camera on opposite side would create a picture on the panels of the opposite side - as if the car wasnt there or see through
lots of flaws in this one but the ideas good

ill do more for you later but thats a start to get you thinking
