The achievement of complete independence of electrical household goods has long been the holy grail for environmentalists and survivalists alike. The idea that we are a technologically advanced life in some form, no physical infrastructure has focused on increasingly fragile timber, telegraph poles and high voltage electrical lines appeal understandable to anyone who has ever spent several days or longer without electricity after a severe storm or other natural disasters to keep the little ones.Fortunately, reliable and economic power between the network options are now widely available and are becoming increasingly popular.
The myth of hydrogen
Not long ago, conventional wisdom was that the houses would be the future, all with their own independent system of hydrogen fuel cells that could turn hydrogen into a public utility gas pipeline type of call, as the house needs be. While the technology of fuel cells is an almost perfect solution for a variety ofEnvironmental considerations so that such a system work, in fact, some almost insurmountable obstacles to overcome. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe (stars, after all, are made almost exclusively from the fabric), but getting here on earth is easier said than done. While fuel cells produce electricity during the creation of no more than water and oxygen, therefore, the process of hydrogen production, while straightforward, is very energy intensive,require a large amount of electricity from conventional power plants. To develop a technology to generate cost of hydrogen fuel cells will never be an economical choice or the environment.
Solar Cells
Solar panels are one of the two main options for a sustainable electricity from the energy saving solution. Solar cell technology has come a long way since Ronald Reagan was from the roof of the White House as a sign of contempt for what they removed as the LiberalDream of an oil-free world, and systems continue to be refined and improved every year. The only obvious disadvantage of solar energy is, of course, that only works when the sun is shining (and they work well only when it is clear). With no moving parts is the biggest advantage of a solar panel that, when properly installed, debris clean the air, is completely maintenance free and can have a virtually unlimited life. The disadvantage is thattotally useless and almost overnight, in the days of moderately cloudy. Therefore, a robust storage batteries and inverters for the complete independence is required.
Wind turbines
A state-of-the-art wind turbine is the most economical solution for electrical sites. Modern systems require no problems (even if they have had so far only a limited amount of time to show that this is the case) and can be installed in an afternoon by a moderately trainedHouse. A turbine can generate a useful amount of energy in a light breeze of only 5 mph and considerable power even in a modest wind of 10 mph. A battery-inverter system, the result is saved in excess for use when the wind is still necessary to be quiet, but should not be as extensive as that required by the solar cells. A complete system can be obtained for just a few thousand dollars, by far the biggest bang for the buck.
If your goal is toa good global citizen by reducing emissions of carbon dioxide or become a zombie apocalypse, is a style of life to electricity now available to more people than ever before to survive. You owe it to yourself, your neighbors (around the corner and around the world) and your grandchildren to explore the possibilities.
