			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Would you Like To Say Goodbye To Your Power Bill&#8230;?</h4>
<p>Have you found yourself frustrated due to the ever-rising power bills? I have found myself struggling with the same problem as well.</p>
<p>Did you know that you can generate your own electric energy, using a magnetic energy generator? It works by itself, and it produces absolutely free energy.</p>
<p>Even if that sounds indredible and too good to be true, this solution exists.</p>
<p>In fact, this technology was discovered since decades by a great scientist but was never revealed to public for evident reasons&#8230;!</p>
<p>But today -thanks the internet-  a DIY guide showing how to build such a generator is now available online.</p>
<p><strong>This Generator is called Magniwork!</strong></p>
<p>It is getting widely popular. People are starting to massively implement these  generators, and are able to completely eliminate their power bills.</p>
<p>Even if you are incredulous -what I can understand-, the best thing you can do now, is  to <strong><a title="Click to visit Magniwork website" href="http://howto.homealternative-energy.com/Magniwork">visit the Magniwork website</a></strong> and find out how it works.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Global Warming Worries Lead to New Alternative Energy Ideas</h3>
<p>The fear of global warming has led to some interesting  alternative energy ideas for the future that would  have less impact on the environment.</p>
<p>Constant research  takes place daily for sources of energy that utilize  our natural resources, have little repercussion on our  atmosphere, cost less and are naturally renewable.</p>
<p>There has been much research in the area of <a title="solar power" href="http://homealternative-energy.com/renewable-solar-energy.html">solar  power</a>, tapping geothermal heat inside the earth,  harnessing the power of the tides as an energy sources  and <a title="wind turbines" href="http://homealternative-energy.com/windmill-design.html">wind turbines</a>, but scientists are going further  into their imaginations to develop energy from sources  never thought of before.</p>
<p>For instance, scientists are studying marine algae in  the hopes that they could generate power from the  methane given off by rotting algae; the methane could  then be harnessed to provide methane for burning to  power industrial needs for energy. Corn is being  tested as a fuel (ethanol) for cars, as well as home  heating sources, and there are many other areas that  you may not have thought about.</p>
<p>Early studies are looking at falling rain and how it  might be used to generate power (same premise as  harnessing wave power). I&#8217;m not a scientist, so I  can&#8217;t even begin to explain how or why this might  work.    One of the ideas I like best is powering our own personal  IPod, cell phone and home computer by walking power: a  leg brace, equipped with an electricity generator,  gets the power from your every step. Need it charged  quickly? Go for a long run. Need a little power to  power my laptop to get me through the meeting, go walk  an hour!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Bio fuels &#8211; Are they good?</h3>
<p>As the term suggests, bio-fuels are fuels that are formed when biological matter decomposes. The bio-fuels are mostly derived from plants. Bio-fuels exist in all the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.</p>
<h4>Difference between bio-fuels and fossil fuels</h4>
<p>Bio-fuels are different from fossil fuels in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fossil fuels take a million years to build whereas bio-fuels can be made extremely fast, in a matter of days.</li>
<li>Fossil fuels generate huge amounts of pollution. Bio-fuels are comparatively safer.</li>
<li>Bio-fuels are renewable sources of energy unlike fossil fuels.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Different types of bio-fuels</h4>
<p>Bio-fuels have been categorized into four types:</p>
<ol>
<li> first generation,</li>
<li>second generation,</li>
<li>third generation,</li>
<li>and fourth generation.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>The first generation bio-fuels</strong> are derived from vegetable fats, starch,<a title="how to make your own biodiesel" href="http://howto.homealternative-energy.com/biofuels-DIY"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none;" title="How to make your own biodiesel" src="http://homealternative-energy.com/images/biodiesel.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="224" /></a> and sugar, which are in turn derived from food-crops. The first generation fuels are also derived from animal fats. Biogas, bio-diesel, and vegetable oil are some examples of this type of bio-fuels.</p>
<p><strong>The second generation of bio-fuels</strong> is mainly derived from waste biomass, thus making it a more balanced option compared to the first-generation bio-fuels. Different kinds of alcohols and diesel generated from wood fall into the category of second generation bio-fuels.</p>
<p><strong>The third generation</strong> comprises of bio-fuels derived from algae. Algae are farmed on large scales for creating these bio-fuels. The algae fuels are extremely environment-friendly as they can easily decompose into the soil without harming it.</p>
<p><strong>The bio-fuels in the fourth generation</strong> are derived by a method in which micro-organisms are raised to work with carbon dioxide to generate fuel.</p>
<h4>Advantages of bio-fuels</h4>
<p>Bio-fuels prove advantageous in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bio-fuels lessen the burden on gradually-vanishing fossil fuels.</li>
<li>Bio-fuels are environment-friendly. They help reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere.</li>
<li>Bio-fuels, especially, <strong><a title="how to save money making your own biodiesel" href="http://howto.homealternative-energy.com/biofuels-DIY">bio-diesel</a></strong> prove to be very cost-effective for consumers.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Disadvantages of bio-fuels</h4>
<p>Bio-fuels are not bereft of criticism. Though beneficial for the environment, bio-fuels have its disadvantages, paradoxically in the environmental purview.</p>
<p>Bio-fuels have received criticism for many reasons, a couple of which are stated below:<br />
• Economists have long debated on the usefulness of first generation bio-fuels when compared to the lack of food they cause. Generating fuel from food crops makes food crops unworthy of human consumption. Some people believe that being a higher priority than fuel, food should not be farmed for making fuels but for human consumption.</p>
<p>• Making bio-fuels require acres of farming land, thus encroaching upon the natural habitat of plants and animals.</p>

<p>A windmill typically consists of the following parts:</p>
<ul>
<li>The blades &#8211; A windmill can consist of any number of blades from four to 20. Some special wind mills have higher number of blades.</li>
<li>The tower &#8211; The tower holds the rotating blades high up in the air so that the winds rotate them.</li>
<li>The shaft &#8211; The shaft is responsible for joining the blades with the tower and for the smooth rotation of blades.</li>
<li>The generator &#8211; The generator is what generates electricity from the mechanical energy. It also stores power for future use.</li>
<li>The base: The base of the windmill keeps it grounded to the earth.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a href="http://homealternative-energy.com/images/windmill-design-big.jpg"><img class="alignright" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Windmill Design- Click to enlarge picture" src="http://homealternative-energy.com/images/windmill-design.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="359" /></a></h3>
<h3>What factors affect windmill design?</h3>
<p>There are many factors that affect the design of a windmill. Let&#8217;s understand the major ones:</p>
<p>• <strong>Wind speed</strong>: The wind speed can be accurately measured with the help of an anemometer. It is not possible to determine the right kind of wind mill without knowing the accurate wind speed.</p>
<p>• <strong>Wind direction</strong>: For designing a windmill, it is also important to know the direction from which the wind flows most of the time.</p>
<p>• <strong>Change in wind speed</strong>: Apart from the constant speed of mind, it is required that you know how the wind changes its speed.</p>
<p>• <strong>Change of wind direction</strong>: The direction of wind will not be constant, so it important to note the way it changes its direction.</p>
<p>• <strong>Obstructions on the site</strong>: It is best t install a windmill at a place without many obstructions. Look out for existing and potential structures that may affect the performance of your windmill.</p>
<p>• <strong>Wind turbulence</strong>: The movement of wind is not always predictable. However, it is a good idea to understand the patter of wind turbulence in your site.</p>
<p>• <strong>Distance of wind activity from the ground</strong>: The height of the tower is dependent on the height at which the wind is active.</p>
<h3>What are the possible designs of windmills?</h3>
<p>Aerodynamics determines the design of a windmill based on the factors mentioned in the section above. The designs of windmills vary in the following measures:</p>
<ul>
<li>Number of blades</li>
<li>Shape of the blades</li>
<li>Height of the tower</li>
<li>Kind of generators</li>
<li>Distance of the installation spot from the ground</li>
<li>Distance between the tower and the generator</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 130px"><a href="http://homealternative-energy.com/"><img style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="green energy home" src="http://homealternative-energy.com/images/green-energy-home.jpg" alt="green energy home" width="120" height="120" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">green energy home</p></div>
<p>When the whole world is looking for ways to cope with the severe energy crisis, what is the least we can do?  We need to begin by saving the power we have and generating more power using alternate power solutions like solar and <a title="Read more about wind power system" href="http://homealternative-energy.com/renewable-wind-energy.html">wind power systems</a>.</p>
<p>The implementation of a windmill is not considered very cheap; however, it turns out a huge money saver in the long run when the cost of producing power becomes zero.</p>
<p>It has been observed lately that people are implementing wind power solutions even at places with the average speed of power less than 11 miles per hour. Ideally, the average speed of wind at the site you propose to set up the windmill at should be 11 miles per hour, but a slightly lower average is also reaping good results for people.</p>
<p>One thing that dissuades people from setting up a windmill is the initial cost. However, one can set up a windmill at home at a much less price. It is, however, important to consider certain things while setting up a windmill on your own.</p>
<ul>
<li>Get a good plan to make a windmill at home. Keep in mind the output you want the windmill to generate.</li>
<li>Look for sturdy components. Your homemade windmill should not get damaged by heavy winds.</li>
<li>Compare the prices of the equipment in the market and go for the components that suit your budget and your site.W</li>
<li>When looking for a windmill plan, look for the following features:</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li><strong>Illustrations</strong>: Visual descriptions work better than only-text ones. If your windmill guide has illustrative descriptions for making a windmill, it makes your task easier.</li>
<li><strong>Easy language</strong>: If your windmill-making guide uses a lot of jargon and technical information, it is better to look for a different one. Look for one that has easy-to-understand language making your task fluid.</li>
<li><strong>Component descriptions</strong>: Your <a title="A great and simple guide to help you build your own wind power at home" href="http://howto.homealternative-energy.com/homemade-windpower-guide">homemade windmill guide</a> should be able to provide you with detailed visual and textual descriptions of all the components you need to use. It is also important that the guide tells you which type of component works best for a site like yours.</li>
<li><strong>Local information</strong>: If your guide gives you information about the best available equipment in Europe while you are reading it from a countryside location in western USA, your guide is as good as useless. Look for a guide that provides equipment information of places around you.</li>
</ol>
<p>Make power at home with solar and wind energy to eliminate your power bill.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Green Energy Home" href="http://homealternative-energy.com/"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 7px 5px;" title="Green Energy Home" src="http://homealternative-energy.com/images/green-energy-home.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></a>The world is gradually marching towards a severe energy crisis, what with an ever-increasing demand of energy overstepping its supply.</p>
<p>We have always known that the energy we use everyday is not unlimited, yet we take it for granted. Oil, gas, power, even water has limited availability. Yet, we have not taken enough precautions to deal with a possible energy crisis. When I say ‘we&#8217;, I am not referring to the governments but to all of us, the common people.</p>
<p>Oil and gas have already become too expensive, and with each passing day, they are moving towards being extinct.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Energy Crisis" src="http://homealternative-energy.com/images/energy-crisis.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="188" />Some ignorant people think that energy crisis is a myth. They fail to see the big picture. There have been three major energy crises so far &#8211; the 1973 oil crisis, the 1979 energy crisis, and the 1990 oil-price hike, apart from several regional crisis.</p>
<p>Prices have been rapidly increasing for the last five years, thanks to the ever-increasing demand and the increasing shortage of energy resources.</p>
<h3>How soon will it be all gone?</h3>
<p>Are the cynics right in saying that we are making a mountain of a molehill, or is the energy crisis for real? Picture this: We have already exhausted 50 percent of the available oil. At the current rate of consumption, the rest of the oil will finish in 32 years!</p>
<p>Imagine if the rate of consumption increases! We all know it is bound to increase. So, even the present generation will face an acute energy crisis in the later years, let alone future generations.</p>
<h3>What are we doing about it?</h3>
<p>Are we equipped to face the impending energy crisis? What can you and I do to tackle it?</p>
<p>For starters, we need to understand the importance of energy in our lives and stop taking it for granted. We have to minimize the use of oil, gas, electricity, or any other fuel.</p>
<p>We cannot afford to waste any available energy. It is also important to spread awareness about limited availability of energy resources. Simple things like joining a car pool, switching off car engines at traffic lights, and minimizing the use of gas and oil in everyday activities will help a long way in crisis-readiness.</p>
<h3>What are the alternate energy options?</h3>
<p>As a responsible world citizen, start looking for alternate energy solutions like <a title="renewable solar energy page" href="http://homealternative-energy.com/renewable-solar-energy.html">solar energy</a> and <a title="renewable wind energy page" href="http://homealternative-energy.com/renewable-wind-energy.html">wind energy</a>.</p>
<p>Employing these alternate power solutions is extremely feasible and cost-effective. You will not only cut down your power bills but also contribute to a better future of the world.</p>

It has helped build new civilizations.</p>
<p>The large amount of electricity produced has its source in fossil fuels, nuclear fission, water, and wind. This article will explore the different methods of electricity production.</p>
<p>Electricity is churned out by enormous turbines. These turbines need a support to be moved. There are various ways of moving these turbines:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>By burning fossil fuels</strong>: Electricity is produced when the blades of a turbine are moved by enormous amounts of vapour. This vapour is generated by heating a lot of water in huge furnaces. The water is heated by burning fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, and natural gas. This method releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide in the air, thus severely polluting our atmosphere. It is important to turn to alternate methods of electricity production for long-term benefits.</li>
<li><strong>By water</strong>: You must have heard how dams are constructed to produce electricity. A popular method to produce electricity, a water dams serves two purposes: restricting water bodies and producing electricity. Water dams use the river water to move turbines, helping them produce electricity. Electricity generated this way helps control air pollution; however, this method of electricity production adversely affects the ecosystem in the water bodies.<em>Water accounts for 90 percent of the world&#8217;s electricity generated through renewable resources.<br />
</em></li>
<li><strong>By wind</strong>: Electricity is produced when wind energy is converted to electrical energy. Wind mills or wind turbines are used to churn up enormous amounts of wind energy which is then converted into electrical energy. <em>The latest in wind energy advancement tells us that wind energy is helping create portable cell phone chargers. </em></li>
<li> <strong>By nuclear fission:</strong> Yes, nuclear fission does not only make atom bombs, but also helps produce electricity. Nuclear fission causes a chain reaction where the element Uranium is bombarded by neutrons causing it to split. Every time a Uranium nucleus is split, more neutrons are released, causing more splits in the already split Uranium nuclei. The resultant chain reaction generates a lot of heat which is used to heat water the vapour of which eventually moves turbines to create electricity.</li>
<li><strong>By bio-waste</strong>: With technological advancements, electricity is also being produced by bio-waste. Bio-gas is a typical way of generating electricity in rural areas in countries like India. In fact, a new technology evolved in the state of Bihar in India that uses human waste to generate electricity.</li>
</ul>
<p>Make power at home with solar and wind energy to eliminate your power bill.</p>

<p><a href="http://homealternative-energy.com/"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 7px 5px;" title="Green Energy Home" src="http://homealternative-energy.com/images/green-energy-home.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></a>Solar energy panels have become more affordable in recent years.</p>
<p>Making it a viable alternative energy option for savvy home owners looking for savings on their monthly utility bills and the environmentally conscious who also enjoy the financial advantage, but focus more on the benefits solar energy panels have on global warming and independence from fossil fuels.</p>
<p>If you are a beginner to the solar electric world, then you may be wondering what exactly solar energy panels are?</p>
<p>It is really simple and yet fascinatingly complicated.  Solar energy panels are also known as photovoltaic panels; photovoltaic meaning electricity from the sun.</p>
<p>Solar energy panels work by collecting protons from the sun, which displace neutrons, and create a flow of electrons or electricity.  An inverter converts the power generated by the solar energy panels from an DC current to a AC current making it usable in homes as a direct electricity supply.</p>
<p>You can use solar energy panels to heat your pool, workshop tools, greenhouse lights and fans or depending on you personal electric usage, your entire home or business.<img class="alignleft" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 7px 5px;" title="Solar Energy Panel" src="http://homealternative-energy.com/images/solar-energy-panel.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Most solar energy panels are designed to last 30-40 years and require little to no maintenance.</p>
<p>Over the life-span of solar energy panels, the energy savings realized by the owner is enough to justify the initial cost of the system and prices are dropping more and more as a larger number of consumers express interest and make the change to solar energy panels or other renewable resources.</p>
<h3>Solar energy panels for small applications can be purchased at your local hardware stores.</h3>
<p>These small versions are ideal for outdoor lighting, small water pumps and other outdoor tools.</p>
<p>If you are purchasing a home size or business size system of solar energy panels it would be best to seek out a local retailer of solar energy panels or a green energy retailer in your area.  There is also plenty of information available online about different solar energy panel providers.</p>
<p>Understanding the value of  solar energy panels   is the first step to becoming fossil fuel independent.</p>
<p>As our traditional energy resources are falling into exhaustion, now is the best time to look in to  solar energy panels  for your home or business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>What Are Green Energy Sources</h3>
<p><a href="http://homealternative-energy.com/"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px 7px;" title="Green Energy Home" src="http://homealternative-energy.com/images/green-energy-home.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></a>Many homeowners today are looking into integrating green energy sources for developing more energy efficient homes and businesses.  A green energy source is power generated through renewable resources, such as the sun, wind and water.</p>
<p>The other benefit of green energy sources is their low contribution to global warming, pollution and other environmental issues.</p>
<h3>The most popular of green energy sources is the sun.</h3>
<p>Energy captured from the sun is called <a title="solar energy page" href="http://homealternative-energy.com/renewable-solar-energy.html">solar energy</a>.  Of the green energy sources,  solar energy is the most popular because it offers multiple options for use.</p>
<p>It is possible to harness electrical energy from the sun using solar panels consisting of photovoltaic cells that convert energy from the sun into electricity you can use in your home or business.  There are also solar hot water collectors that use the heat of the sun to produce hot water.  These solar green energy sources are readily available and increasing in popularity as most homes and businesses can have them mounted on their roof and they can take advantage of lowered utility costs.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px 7px;" title="Green Energy Sources" src="http://homealternative-energy.com/images/green-energy-sources.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" />The most efficient of green energy sources is wind.</p>
<p>Wind has been used to power water pumps for centuries, but has grown in popularity as a way to supplement home and business electricity needs.</p>
<p>Wind is the safest and cleanest of the green energy sources as it produces no pollutants and does not contribute to global warming.  Wind energy is harnessed by erecting a turbine that spins in the breeze generating electricity.  Unlike the sun, which can be found almost anywhere, in order to utilize wind as a green energy source, you must live in an area where wind is readily available.</p>
<h3>Water is also a viable participant of green energy sources.</h3>
<p>Water is less widely used as a green energy source for homes, as not all homes have an available stream to produce the needed electricity.  The Amish have used water to power entire shops using conveyer belt systems, so it is an old practice, but it is still being used successfully today.</p>
<p>As with solar and wind energy, energy harnessed from moving water is almost completely pollutant free and is generated from a renewable resource.</p>
<p>Green energy sources  are available for use to combat global warming, our dependence on fossil fuels and to lower our monthly budget.  Investing in  green energy sources  for your home and business needs can add dollars to your wallet and years to the life of our Earth.</p>
