Homemade Electricity Made From Solar and Wind
There are many forms of energy. The most common forms of energy are heat and light. Just like heat and light electricity is a form of energy. Heat and light are what we consider natural energy. As far as electricity is concerned there really aren't that many natural occurring electrical sources. Whatever natural electrical sources there is they produce very little electrical power and are hard to find.
Take for example the static electricity that makes your arm hair stand up in an air-conditioned room. Fortunately, one basic law about energy is that it can be converted from one form to another. Therefore, our electric energy is just a product of converting any energy source to electricity. And because of that, we can miniaturize electric power generation. Just imagine taking the example of your arm hair stand up in an air-conditioned room and converting that to Homemade Electricity! So what are some of the ways we can produce homemade electricity?
Lets take a look at one the most popular ways to produce homemade electricity. The most popular way is through the use of a solar panel. Solar panels captures the Light rays from the sun. The Solar panels which consist of photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic cells are electricity converters, these cells convert the light energy to produce voltage. The voltage produced from each cell is really small. In order to produce a desired voltage the cells are connected in series or in parallel way configuration. Solar panels do have drawbacks. First is that they are very expensive to buy. Secondly, they have a low efficiency rating compared to other electric generators. So if you plan to produce your homemade electricity using solar panels, just prepare your wallet.
Another example of a way to produce homemade electricity and is becoming more popular is wind. Again this done by taking the energy of the wind and converting that to electricity. The way this is done is by having a wind generator connected to a turbine. When the wind hits the turbine it rotates or spins turbine. The turbine collects the wind energy and the wind generator converts the mechanical force of the wind to electricity. Compared to solar panels, wind generators provide a relatively higher efficiency. Both solar panels and wind generators will not produce electricity if there is no sunlight and wind respectively. Storing their generated energy in a battery is one solution to this problem.
