If you were to analyze your household expenses, you will notice the amount of money you pay for electricity will be the highest. The utility bill will be second next only to your bank mortgage. Power is essential for a home. We run all of our electrical devices such as the television, air conditioning unit, computer, refrigerator, microwave oven etc with electricity. It is fair to say the amount of money we pay for electricity will be higher in the near future.

To solve this issue, many home owners are exploring the idea of alternative energy sources such as solar power and wind turbine to cut their energy consumption. Due to the rising demand, the home renewable energy industry has been experiencing a boom. Many people are installing solar panels and wind turbine to supplement the power supply at home.

There is one kind of renewable energy which is not known by the masses. It is the concept of generating electricity by using the natural power of magnets. A magnetic generator can be build at home to produce power that can be used on our electrical devices.

The concept of a magnet powered generator is simple. The idea is to place magnet bars on a circular rotor. The magnets are then moved adjacent to a spool of copper wires. When the magnetic field of the magnets cut through the wire, it will create an electric current. Because of the placement of the magnets on the rotor, the magnet bars will brush through the wire on a continuous motion.

The wire in the spool is to be connected to a charge controller. The charge controller will regulate the electric current to charge up a battery bank. When the batteries are fully charged, it can be used to power our household electrical appliances.

Building a magnetic generator at home is a simple process. What you will need is some hand tools such as multi meter, laser tachometer and soldering iron. Next, you will need a device blueprint with step-by-step instructions. Anyone who has built a science project at school will be able to handle a DIY magnetic generator.

The magnetic generator will run off of the free electricity produced earlier and stored in the battery. So what this means is the magnetic generator will power on its own. This type of generator produces five times as much free power as it make use of.
