Wind Power
Wind power has been around for a very long
time now
and we are now finely starting to realize its potential as a great energy saver.
Most of the things that you can do with Wind Power to save Energy, also apply to Solar Power. One great advantage that Wind Power has over Solar Power is that it works best in bad weather.
The first thing that we need to do is stop thinking in line with the voltage of our power grid (power companies) 110 volt, 220 volt and 440 volt and start thinking voltage dealing with alternative energy, 12 volt, 24 volt and 48 volts, then we can light a
light or run a motor right from a new solar and/or wind generator. Wind Power With wind power as with solar panels, you can pump your well water into your home filtration system. When there is no wind, a relay drops in and your solar panel battery takes over with its solar pump motor or alternator. Some of this may seem repetitive, because many alternative energy products can do the same job and
this is one of those times.
Some people
cannot and some people will not switch to
newer energy equipment however, for a variety of
reasons.
So, we must speak with the only voice that they will listen to, our vote. Beginning this election, let’s vote only the people into office who
will be 100% for
Alternative Energy!
A wind generator, like a solar panel, generates electricity
to be sent down to an electric water
heater,
heating unit or heating A-coil to heat your home. Again, remember that we are now thinking low voltage, not electric companies.
We also need to remember that we can use solar and wind to light lights in our home with 12 or 24 volts right from our panels and/or generators.
We have been doing this in our campers, boats and motor homes for many years. As for microwaves, T.V.'s, stoves, washers, dryers and fans, 12 volts or 24 volts. I can remember back in the 70's, working on 12 and 24 volt refrigerators, so why not now and air and heat pumps too?
