2008 was a turbulent year for everyone, especially at the price of a volatile commodity prices - oil. The world is so dependent on this one commodity that has a prolonged volatility of the price an amazing spin-off effect on pretty much everything else. Who could forget when the oil price hit an all time high of 147 $ per barrel sending shock waves to every other market? And the speculation that it probably hit $ 200 a barrel to only served to exacerbate the situation.
As if the effect of the roller coaster of oil prices was not enough, the world had the U.S. subprime crisis to fight. It is said that when the U.S. sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. How true. Just like oil as the dominant fuel in the world, the U.S. economy is the most powerful economy in the world and the U.S. dollar is the most widely accepted currency in the world. Therefore, when the U.S. suffers, the rest of the world suffer along with him.
The skyrocketing oil prices last year sparked a domino effect on prices for just about everything else, from the cost of transport to the prices of commodities such as utilities. So many people had to earn their belts, to reduce costs and attract try an extra income. This led many to reduce costs on their energy bills by searching for alternative energy sources.
The good news is that it is now possible to use alternative energy sources come cheap.The two most practical sources of renewable energy are the sun and the wind. You can use your home into an alternative energy home, solar and wind energy uses power from your equipment and reduce your electricity costs.
With solar energy, the process consists essentially of solar cells, changing the energy of sunlight into electricity, while the wind, you will use a wind rotor to generate electricity by a motor. The electricity from these two sources is then channeled into a battery that stores it for later use. By a battery, you would have a constant source of electricity that does not depend on whether the sun is shining or the wind blows. The battery power is in the form of direct current, so before connecting to your home appliance, you need an inverter to convert the direct current into alternating current.
Solar cells can be relatively cheap from places like eBay, factory seconds or blemished cells, which are just as good in the electricity sold are purchased. The solar cells need to be connected in series with each other in a solar panel like how batteries are arranged in a flashlight. If it exposed to sunlight, the semiconductors produced in the solar cells (such as silicon) of electricity. Then they are connected to a battery, as mentioned above.
Many people supplement the power generated from solar energy to electricity comes from wind power. You can either buy or get your own rotor blades for wind turbines and connect them with an engine to generate electricity. Once again, eBay is a good source of both rotor blades and engines. Such a motor as a generator that generates electricity when the blades rotate. This electricity is also stored in a battery.
Many people (myself included) have said to their monthly electric bill by up to 80% reduced by the above procedure. If we can do it, so can you.
