Have you every wanted generate your own electricity? A home made power plant can be a fun and educational project that helps to reduce monthly expenses. With just a few items and a little patience you can build your magnetic energy generator.

The components needed are an automotive alternator, a pulley mounted on the alternator axle, a belt, some kind of mechanical drive and a plate or base to mount them all on. The axles of the mechanical drive and the alternator should be parallel, so the pulley can be attached between their respective pulleys. If you choose to store the power generated, two or more deep cycle batteries should be wired to the alternator within a reasonable distance.

The basic components included an automobile alternator (or generator if that’s all that is available), a mechanical drive such as a bicycle or windmill, a pulley, a belt and a mounting plate. The automobile alternator is one of the easier to locate and less expensive options for electricity production. In addition, it matches the type current used by most standard electronic devices. To store the power created for later use two or more deep cycle batteries can be wired to the batteries.

The components are mounted on the plate within reasonable distance to each other with the axis of the mechanical drive side by side to the alternator axis. Around the pulley on the end of the alternator shaft, the belt wraps to connect the drive mechanism and turn the alternator axis. Once mounted in place, with proper belt tension, the batteries can be wired in series to the alternator.

To directly use the power, a standard automotive cigarette lighter housing and needs to be wire to the batteries. Then with any electrical devices, use a cigarette lighter adapter to plug into it. For sensitive equipment, it’s a very good idea to install a fusible link between the device and the batteries to avoid potential overloads.

For those who wish to sell excess electricity generated from their home made power plant, it is possible to wire the system to an in home fuse box. This requires knowledge of electrical wiring, or consultation of a professional electrician.

A home magnetic energy generator can help save money on the power bill as well as help conserve power, reducing fossil fuels burned to power homes. While building a this can be a fun and educational project, for a longer lasting and more reliable option, a professionally built unit can be a good investment. For some parts of this project, a professional electrician should be consulted.
