Harness Wind Power, Solar Energy and Save on Fuel. Convert your home to run off wind power and solar energy. Make your vehicle more efficient to save on gas or use alternative fuel.
Simple plans, strategies and low cost solutions to help you substantially reduce your energy bills for your home and reduce vehicle running costs.
Wind Power
Wind power is available in abundance and with wind turbines consuming no fuel and having zero emissions, they are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative energy solution.
A small domestic wind turbine is a great way to produce clean electricity that can replace a diesel generator or reduce or eliminate your electricity bill when used to power your home.
Wind turbines that connect to the grid allow the fluctuations in the wind power generated to off set the electricity consumed from the grid.
Off-grid systems are likely to use a bank of batteries that are charged at variable rates to smooth out the effect of wind power variation.
Solar Energy
Sunlight may be converted into electricity or used to heat water in the home and even for cooling (with a solar chimney). Also, we use it to dry cloths and heat the air such as in a greenhouse.
Throughout history, sunlight has affected the design of buildings with choices of material, orientation to the sun and placement of living spaces and windows.
With modern technology we are now able to harness solar power to save on fuel costs and help the environment by reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned to produce our electricity and gas.
Solar water heaters for domestic hot water heating tend to be either glazed flat panels or evacuated tube collectors. For electricity, photovoltaic cells laid out in panels are used. Homes that are below 40 degrees latitude can expect to heat up to 70% of their hot water (60 °C) by solar power.
Save Gas (Gasoline/Petrol/Diesel)
With today's high gas prices and the effect on the planet of burning gas, we should be looking at how to save gas and create less air pollution. We can look at ways to increase gas mileage and consider more fuel efficient cars.
By fitting a gas saving device we could get better fuel economy by having more efficient combustion of the gas in the engine. The water 4 gas system is one that uses a fuel saving device which is designed to improve mpg and give fuel savings.
Also there are cars that save gas such as gasoline-electric hybrids. These vehicles use a regenerative braking system to return energy to the batteries and electric motors to assist with acceleration. Several motor manufacturer's have now produced hybrid cars and RVs.
Surf this site to discover ways to make big savings on the cost of filling your tank with fuel in ways that you would never have thought possible before. Simple, cost effective steps that have previously been kept under wraps until now.
We reveal the secrets that the oil companies don't want you to know.
You don't have to do the work yourself, you can employ local contractors or vehicle technicians to follow the plans and still save money.
