Generate renewable power from natural sources!
As alternative energy sparks more mainstream interest, many of us find ourselves wondering the best ways to reduce our carbon footprints from home. Everyday, more home and business owners decide to take the necessary steps to set up grid tie solar or wind power collection systems, or smaller supplemental systems.
This manual is the perfect guide for anyone wanting to build solar modules or wind turbines at home. Learn how to start gathering the naturally renewing energy of nature for free with Earth4Energy. This guide provides full step by step instructions, including an easy-to-follow diagram explaining how to make this portable solar panel setup in just a few hours. The manual also includes full instructions on how to create a grid inter tied solar power system and a completely off grid solar power system. Each of these comes with their own instructions and diagrams. The Earth4Energy manual also explains how to acquire high-quality, deep-cycle batteries for free!
iSol Plus - Solar Powered Small Electronics Battery Charger
iSol Plus - Solar Battery Charger
As technology gets to be more advanced, there is an increasing demand for electronic devices to be smaller, stronger, and more portable. As the capabilities of portable electronic devices expand, so do their power needs, it seems that the battery is always running low.
Now you can plug your electronic devices into the sun using the iSol Plus - Solar Battery Charger.
DIY Guide: Learn to Make Your Own Biofuel
With Biofuel Basics anyone can obtain the knowledge and materials needed to make biodiesel at home. You can also get all of the tools and parts you’ll need to get your diesel engine ready to burn “greasel”.
Almost any diesel-burning engine can easily run on biodiel with very little modification- just make sure all fuel delivery lines are made from a synthetic rubber. Because biodiesel acts as an engine cleaner, there could be some built-up diesel gunk making its way into the fuel filter, so it is recommended to change the filter after the first few tanks.
