Modern technologies for processing all kinds of raw materials open the prospect of successfully solving the problem of obtaining biofuels from manure directly at home. Moreover, making biofuel with your own hands at home thanks to the new principles of waste processing, you can simultaneously produce fertilizers for agricultural plantations....

In recent decades, home owners have a fairly large selection of heating systems. It is no longer necessary to connect to centralized networks and use traditional sources. You can choose equipment that uses alternative energy, but its main drawback is the high cost. Do you agree?...

We are used to considering natural gas as the most affordable type of fuel. But it turns out that he has a worthy alternative - hydrogen obtained by splitting water. The starting material for the production of this fuel is generally free. And if you also make a hydrogen generator with your own hands, the savings will be simply amazing....

You can arrange heating and hot water supply of a private house in various ways, for example, connect to the central gas supply communications or transfer heating systems to electricity consumption. Do you agree that you can assemble a geothermal heat pump with your own hands and effectively use the heat of the earth to create comfortable living conditions....

An alternative to traditional energy resources is various types of biofuels, for the production of which vegetable or animal raw materials, industrial waste and the results of the vital activity of organisms are used. We offer to understand the advantages and disadvantages of using such fuel, find out production features, functional characteristics, and evaluate the efficiency of using different types of biological fuel ....

Fireplace with the prefix “bio” works great in urban apartments. The device does not require permits, a chimney, a room for storing fuel. The spectacular unit does not recycle traditional firewood. So what does he need for burning? Agree, we need to understand the issue if you plan to get an environmentally friendly fireplace....

The contemplation of a living fire is bewitching. A well-known proverb claims that this can be done endlessly. The flame dance calms and pacifies, helps to gather thoughts. Unfortunately, such luxury is practically unavailable for those living in apartment buildings. Not everyone can afford a wood-burning fireplace....

A smart owner dreams of cheap energy, efficient waste management and fertilizer. Do-it-yourself home-made biogas plant is an inexpensive way to make your dream a reality. Self-assembly of such equipment will cost a reasonable price, and the gas produced will be a good help in the household: it can be used for cooking, heating the house and other needs....

According to the proverb, “live” fire is one of the phenomena that each of us is ready to admire endlessly. But if in a private house it is really possible to arrange a real wood hearth, then in an apartment one can count on its electric analogue with imitation of a flame, but that was before biofuel fireplaces entered our lives....

Alternative energy received from wind turbines is of great interest to society. There are many confirmations to this at the level of real household practice. Owners of suburban real estate build windmills with their own hands and are content with the result, although the effect can be short-lived....

A modern kinetic wind generator allows you to use the power of air currents, converting it into electricity. For this purpose, there are factory and home-made models of devices that are used both in industry and in private households. We will talk about how windmills of this type are arranged, we will introduce you to the features of the device and design options....

The use of alternative energy sources is one of the main trends of our time. Pure and affordable wind energy can be converted into electricity even in your home if you build a wind turbine and connect it to a generator. You can build your own blades for a wind generator from ordinary materials without using special equipment....

Electricity is an expensive resource, and its environmental safety is in doubt, because hydrocarbons are used to generate electricity. This drains the bowels and poisons the environment. It turns out that you can provide the house with wind power. Agree, it would be nice to have a backup source of electricity, especially in areas where electricity outages are common....

The wind has incredible energy capabilities. Failure to use its powerful potential should be safely recognized as unreasonable waste. But you can easily build a vertical wind generator with your own hands and receive virtually free energy to cover domestic needs. This is quite real, agree?...

The mechanical design of the wind generator in its pure form is only part of a full-fledged wind power installation. In addition to the mechanical design, a completely usable system also has a number of electronic components, for example, a controller for a wind generator is necessary — a device functionally designed to stabilize the battery charge parameters during the operation of a wind turbine....

The strength of the water stream is a renewable natural resource that allows you to receive almost free electricity. The energy presented by nature will provide an opportunity to save on utilities and solve the problem of recharging equipment. If a stream or river flows near your house, they should be used....

An independent electrical system will provide energy to private buildings that are not connected to centralized networks. The result will help reduce the energy costs of cottages and homes. But in order to take advantage of these advantages, you need to know exactly how to make an autonomous power supply for a private house....

Recently, solar-powered street lights have become widespread, combining efficiency and attractive design. Such models are used not only as a source of artificial light, but also for landscape decoration - decorating the courtyard or summer cottage. We will introduce the principle of operation and arrangement of street lighting devices, the operation of which is based on the use of sunlight....

Power supply systems with the simultaneous use of the traditional supply of current and electricity from the sun are an economically feasible solution for private households, cottages, summer cottages and industrial premises.The irreplaceable element of the complex is a hybrid inverter for solar batteries that determines the voltage supply modes, ensuring uninterrupted and efficient operation of the solar system....

The effective conversion of free sun rays into energy that can be used to power housing and other facilities is a cherished dream of many apologists for green energy. But the principle of operation of the solar battery and its efficiency are such that there is no need to talk about the high efficiency of such systems....
