Energy From Home

Welcome to Energy From Home, a site devoted to educating you on alternate power sources. We have chosen to create this blog because this so called “energy crisis” in our country is really getting us down. The only reason that we are in this predicament is because the government refuses to make the switch to alternate energy.

If we can build a cell in our garage with no special equipment that will make our cars run off pure water, there is no reason we should be paying 4 dollars a gallon for gas. Please continue reading and even offer your own input.

More and more people are beginning to use passive solar power systems for homes as the countless advantages and benefits become apparent. With information spreading quickly regarding these systems, a lot of people are going solar nowadays. Here are four advantages to using passive solar power systems for your home today.

1. Quick payback
For some, the number one reason why not to invest in a solar system is because of the high costs for materials. However, you would be amazed at how quickly you earn the money back simply from saving on energy costs. The initial payment is pricey, but the amount saved in the long-run makes it well worth the investment.

2. Save the environment
Not only can you save money with passive solar power systems, but you can do the environment good as well. There is absolutely no negative impact whatsoever that comes from a solar powered system compared to the countless pollutants and negative items regular energy feeds into the environment.

3. Free energy source
One of the more appealing aspects of passive solar is that it is free energy. As mentioned above, it can actually save you thousands of dollars over the home’s lifespan while keeping you and your family comfortable at the same time.

4. Increased home value
The final reason passive solar power systems are more than worth it is because of the increase in home value it will provide you with. Any attention to environmental details quickly increases a home in the real estate market today. Passive solar systems and landscaping concepts are no different.

If you are looking for a way to save money on your utilities each month, there is a way to save money and also reduce the carbon footprint you are leaving behind. Home solar power systems are a great way to help you be self sufficient and also save tons of money.

Solar power systems are now becoming more main stream. This in turn makes this system more affordable to the average consumer. You should realize however, that it is still a large investment, and the payoffs will come in years and you should weigh out what you will be saving and what you can afford to spend.

Once you have found the home solar power system you are interested in using, you then want to find a great crew to install this for you. You want to make sure that they have the experience to install your system correctly. You may want to check references and you may even be able to visit a job site that will allow you to view the work that is being done, and this can give you a bird’s eye view of what this company can do for you.

Home solar power systems will allow you to take control of your future and also help you to preserve the environment. You do not have to rely on outrageous utility companies for all of your energy needs, and solar power is something that will last your for many years to come and this can save you a tremendous amount of money.

Residential solar power systems have become increasingly popular over the past few years. These systems are connected to the roof and supply power for an entire home. While ideally you want to install the panels when first building a home, they can be adapted to the home you live in today.

The solar panels are going to lie on your roof with wires connecting to the main generator that is on the bottom floor of your home. These systems can come in a number of forms depending on what you want. They can be a stand-alone system or connect to the local power grid of your home.

How residential solar power systems work is by taking sunlight and converting the power into electricity using the solar panels. The panels then take the converted power and send it throughout your home creating it into DC. The power then must go through an inverter in order to make AC power to properly function throughout your home.

There are several benefits to having such a system in your home which is precisely why they are becoming so popular. There certainly is the environmental benefit of having no emissions spread into the air. In addition to the environmental facet, there are also tax incentives. While each state has its own regulations, you can find a large rebate to cut the cost of your system. Lastly, these systems do have a 30-year life meaning you will pay off the system in a matter of 9 to 10 years.

More and more people are looking to install a residential solar power system on their home for obvious reasons. It is an efficient way to save the environment while still lighting up your home. And after 10 years, you will actually end up saving a great deal of money on the electrical bill.

I’ll start off by explaining things for those who are new to the science side of it all. It’s very easy to understand. It all comes down to the fact that every single bit of matter contains energy. The trick is in releasing that energy.

Our bodies do this naturally. There is energy in food, that energy is released when we eat it. As our bodies digest the food, it is turned into energy, thus giving us the ability to move and breathe and all that good stuff.

Finding energy to power our cars or anything else is very similar. Gasoline is an example, on its own, it just sits there, but put it in an engine and put a spark to it and it combusts rather quickly, creating energy. We have harnessed this energy with the internal combustion engine.

Although it is very easy to release energy from gasoline and easy to harness, it is now outdated. Gasoline was a great way to power our cars in the past, but its now time to move on. Pollution is an ever growing problem and oil is in such demand that the prices are growing to high for most of us to cope with on a long term basis.

In the next few posts I will discuss the possible energy source of burning water. Yes, burning water. Its very simple and you can even do it in your own garage at home.

As I explained in the last post, everything has energy. Including water. However unlike gasoline we can’t release that energy just by holding a lighter to it. There is one extra step in there, called electrolysis. Electrolysis is the molecular seperation of hydrogen and oxygen. We all know that water is H2O, two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. The process of electrolysis simply seperates those molecules and in this case turns them into a gas form.

Electrolysis is easy to understand and is also an extremely simple procedure. All it takes to turn water into hydrogen and oxygen is an electric charge. If you were to take a positively charged steel plate and a negatively charged one and stick them both in a bucket of water (without touching them together) you would be performing electrolysis. You will see little bubble forming on the plates, the bubbles on the negative side are pure oxygen, the bubbles on the positive side, pure hydrogen.

Thats the easy part….although there’s not really a hard part. While creating these bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen, you can hold a lighter to the surface of the water where the bubbles are rising. As they reach the flame, they will combust. You are now releasing energy from water.
