SaviorTech also contains many links to useful resources with handy descriptions to point you in the direction of much more content you can use to become energy self-sustaining.
Being dependant on oil or national power grids is fast becoming an obviously costly and nonsensical idea, especially in South Africa where we are dealing with the effects of 'Load Shedding', our local power monopoly's term for the way that electricity is cut to certain parts of the grid on a several-weekly basis. This, so that they can conserve energy because the supply cannot serve the demand. In their defense though, the country has seen an overwhelming increase in power-utilising activities due to the rapid growth of the economy over the past 10 years.
Mistakes made years back has now taken us down this path towards what some would call a crisis.
Generator sales have, of course soared. Problem being, even after paying many thousands for your gennie, the soaring cost of fuel is impeding this as a viable solution, especially if its use were to become more frequent.
So, then, the irony (fortunately) is that we have at our disposal everything we need to build many alternative solutions to generate our own power, none of which are overly technical and beyond the reach of any high school student.
This blog will contain valuable information about the following which is to be expanded as the blog evolves.
- Recycling
- Organics
- Plastics
- Glass
- Metals
- Wood / paper
- Ceramics
- Alternative energy generation
- Biofuel
- Heat engines
- Sterling cycle
- Rankine
- Otto cycle
- Breyten cycle
- Solar
- Wind
- Fuel cell
- Alternative energy storage
- Chemical
- Potential
So, then, enjoy the journey through a landscape that makes the energy and fuel crisis seem more endurable, even fun...
