What is your take on alternative energy.
I have been a backyard inventor all my life and I have tried many options. I always encounter the same problem which stops me from implementing the plan I aim for. Money!
I have made hydrogen producing devices which are very effective for cooking and heating. I would like to implement them on a solar.
I also made a friction heater which is very simple. A solid core spinning in a tube and heating up. The faster I spin it, the more heat I get. The problem I face with this is that it builds pressure. I would need to have it in an open container so that pressure could be released. I thought of then using a simple toilet valve to keep the water container filled and run it all on gravity. I would need my tank in the attic or something higher than the floor's main level. My problem with it is the weight of it all. Having a 250 gallon tank up above is a lot of weight. over a ton. I could go with a smaller tank I imagine. I can run the whole thing on less than a 1000 watts motor. All is needed is 2500 rpm and more which can be implemented with pulleys to speed up or reduce the speed. And a thermostat to cut the motor off when it's warm enough.
It brings me back to the power itself. I made some batteries with copper pipes and zinc rods. It is also simple to make and it does work. It's a matter of recycling a bit of material here and there. The problem I have with it is the time it takes to trickle charge a battery at such low amperage. I would need a small field of it. I thought of a windmill but it takes money and, if I was to make my own, I would need more knowledge and still need money to make something safe and decent. Always the same problem. Money
You can make a generator with any motor that is on magnets. Or you can alter an alternator. They are called PMA. Permanent magnet alternator. You'll have to figure out how to reduce your voltage likely. In order to charge the batteries at the right amount. You would also need a charge controller to not burn the batteries. You need to buy deep cycle batteries for it. I was testing one with an old motor that has a capacitor on top. You can change the capacitor to a couple of oil based capacitor. If you want 110 volts, I would use a capacitor rated for at least 3 times that. You also need to remove the cover of the motor and bypass the limit switch. Again you will have to regulate the power coming out of it.
That is a lot of solutions and a lot of tinkering. If you don't have a budget for it it will sit on your shelve. I know because, that is where mine are sitting except for the friction heater. I'd like to use it on a solar power system. They are great. It would take me less energy to run everything since it heats up on low watts. My hot water tank runs on 8000 watts.
Anyway I thought I would get your ideas and advices on what you have tried and you conclusion on it all. I have a better solution now with no money out of pocket. And I don't have to touch anything. But it's not yet in Canada. If you have a solar power company of any kind and you would like someone to help sell your items, I have a website I am working on right now to do just that. My reason is that we are wrecking the planet and something needs to be done now. Solar power installation is the way to go. It's the next trend just like the phone was. Share your ideas and comments and if there is enough feedback, I can make videos on my stuff or on the stuff I came across on the internet.

Or leave a comment below. We need to sort the pollution problem out and it's something very possible right now. The problem is that we don't have much time to reverse the effects of pollution. Lets act quickly.
If you are interested in a Solar power system from the best company in the USA, I can get you in touch with them today. I wish they came to Canada soon. I heard rumours about June 2016. I sure hope so.
