Make your own alternative energy using the sun and wind power

A few thought about alternative energy!

We focus on alternative energy because it is now being looked at as a means of fueling our economy as we move away from oil dependence. If there comesthe next oil crisis than people at home. are starting to look at alternative energy such as solar, nuclear, ethanol, and biodiesel energies.

The way of how to get solar energy

The Sun produces radiant energy by consuming hydrogen through a process of nuclear fusion reactions. A portion of this solar energy consists of photons and it is this portion that eventually travels on to Earth, taking approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds to complete the journey.

The Earth receives and collects solar energy through its atmosphere, as well as through its oceans and plant life. Solar energy then interacts with oceans on Earth and atmosphere resulting in the creation of winds which can in turn produce electricity when directed through aerodynamically designed wind machines.

Solar photovoltaic cells convert solar rays into electricity. (Photovoltaic literally means "light energy".) Individual cells are packaged into modules called arrays that act similarly to batteries when the sun is shining, producing a stream of direct current (DC) electricity that is then channeled into buildings or shared with power grids.

The inverter then convert DC electricity generated by the arrays into alternating current (AC) electricity. This AC electricity is then able to be used in buildings, schools, homes and businesses to power electrical devices like lights, computers, and appliances. In this way, solar energy is able to effectively meet all our electrical needs in a clean, convenient, and environmentally-friendly way

How does wind power work

the wind power is actually a form of solar power because the wind is generated due to the heating effect from the sun.

When the sun heats the earth's surfaces at different speed on sand, water, stone and various types of soil, these surfaces absorb and release heat at different rates, creating different temperatures.

The physic theory says, when the air moves, it generates kinetic energy, a type of energy created with the motion of mass. With modern technology, we can capture and convert the kinetic energy into other forms of energy such as electricity. Energy from wind is a renewable alternative energy that can be generated endlessly, as long as there is wind.

The cost of generating electricity from wind power has been greatly reduced, making it a feasible renewable alternative energy solution to be used as the major source of electricity for future. Now a days there are many d-i-y- wind power system building guides available that give guidance to people who are interested in implementing renewable energy system at home.

The  Pros and the Cons of DIY WindPower

The PROS: Supply and Maintenance

The CONS: Battery Rewiring

Harnessing the energy does not mean it's all just good times since you have free electricity. A great deal of effort is needed in the maintenance of your tools. Many of the materials sold in the market now are mostly do-it-yourself, means DIY. DoItYourSelf wind power means you have to install the wind turbines and allthe technical skills; you will also need to maintain the batteries and all that, making controls and Checks, so that everything works well. The most common problem that users encounter is rewiring the batteries. At the beginning may be it is a hassle if you are unsure what to do, but it is just a breeze if you know the steps to take.
