If you have been looking to start using an alternative source of energy for your home, you have probably been researching solar or wind as possibilities.
Another source you may want to investigate is the magnetically powered generator.
It is an interesting possibility that this could be a never ending means of providing electricity for the home.
Now, there has been debate over whether the magnetic generator is for real or does it really work.
There is supposed to be hundreds already in use around the world providing electricity and there are videos of generators being operated that you can watch.
It is said if you have basic mechanical skills you can build one with a set of plans and the materials can be easily found.
The magnetic generator is supposed to be a perpetual motion device that should run almost forever.
It does not need any other source of power to run it, so it is a completely free generator of electricity.
You could build one to use as supplemental electricity to save on your electricity bill or to have for when the power goes off, or build one large enough to power the whole house.
Whether they actually work or not I do not have the proof but I do like the idea behind them.
The principle that drives the magnetic generator is real; the property of magnets repealing and attracting causing the spinning action in the generator.
A similar principle of using the force of magnets has been in the works as a means of propulsion for trains.
It's worth checking out these generators for more info; it may be what you're looking for.
