Home Made Energy vs. Make Power at Home

The trend these days is to go sustainable. The World Commission on Environment and Development defines sustainability as the concept of meeting "the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". This is very important for us who consumes enormous amount of non renewable fossil fuels to feed our power-hungry homes and vehicles. But what if the day these energy sources dry up suddenly come upon us? The fact is very few will be prepared and no one will be spared from hardships and lack of adequate heating and electricity. Among today's concerned individuals, Bill Ford and Tom Fords are in forefront in developing and spreading the word about solar and wind power to produce electricity at home.

Bill Ford, founder of homemadeenergy.org offers two types of electricity generators: solar-based or wind-based. The guide that comes with his system has specific instructions on what is best to build, depending on your geographical location and how big is your home. You can choose to build either one or you can build them both so you can generate even more electricity enough to let you off the power grid completely, saving you thousands of dollars in the process. Increasing energy prices can never affect you once you have gotten off the grid. Or if you choose to stay on grid, you can make the electric company pay you because the surplus electricity you produce will make the meter turn back. Bill Ford's step by step diagrams costs $47.00.

Bearing in mind the energy and financial crises the world is facing today, Tom Fords, a mechanical engineer and founder of MakePowerAtHome.com believes that going clean and green using solar and wind power is the way of the future. The technology to harness the sun and wind's power is not so expensive these days and easy to execute that any one can build either a solar panel or wind generator by simply following the guide he has developed. He says that while the solar panel themselves is the most expensive part of a solar power system, making it yourself can save you thousands of dollars. His step by step manual with fully illustrated diagrams will show you how to construct them and start producing your own cheap energy at home. You can then forget about rising energy cost because your entire household will be completely energy self sufficient. Tom's plans are available for $67.00.

The packages offered by these two people are composed of two options each: a solar panel generator and a wind generator. You can choose to build one or the other or both to maximize the electricity you can generate and enable you to get off the grid. Both generating systems can be built with materials that are cheap and easy to find in your local hardware stores. If you go by their easy to follow instructions, you can build your own generators and save money.
