DIY: How to Build a 100W Vertical Axis Wind Turbine From PVC Pipes
In this consumerism ruled times, the world needs to know ways to do stuff. When electricity generation is predicted to become more expensive (it’s like they predict an invasion of electric vehicles), people need to build their own power generating systems for their independence.
DIY: How to Build a Solar Furnace from a Satellite Dish
This is about how to build a solar furnace out of a satellite antenna dish and mirror broken in many pieces. As you may know, satellite dishes have a focal point (that is a point in which the electromagnetic energy focuses at its maximum power).
DIY: How to Make a Coca Cola-based Battery
Here’s a method of producing a battery out of some Cola, salt, aluminum and copper coins. It lights a LED and it can be an interesting source of free energy!
DIY: How to Make a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT)
Today I found another DIY project for generating alternative energy, by using the wind. It is a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), and it works by the same principle those huge wind turbines do, but they are much more easy and less expensive to build.
DIY: Home Made Solar Panels with Cells Bought from eBay
Today I stumbled upon a web site made by a guy (he’s an astronomer) who did his own very cheap solar panel. He has a remote property in Arizona and there isn’t any power source, so he had to improvise it by himself.
10+1 Tips to Driving a Diesel Car Economically

How To Make Your Own Wind Generator
I recently found a PDF describing a step by step method, with pictures, of how to make your own wind-powered free energy to power something up: a light bulb, your TV, laptop, or a small device. Or even charge a battery to light your house during the nights. Here it is. Enjoy!
Atmospheric Carbon CapturE SystemS - CO2 collected in sponges
The ACCESS, as you can see in the title, was developed by Global Research Technologies in Tucson, Arizona. They made a sponge-based system that filters out CO2 from the air and releases clean oxygen.
The system has been made in a smaller-scale unit, that can momentarily capture only less than 100kg of CO2 per day, but [...]
