Finding Your System Load - Generating Electricity at Home Using Magnetic Power Generators

You say you need to reduce or eliminate your monthly electrical bill big time? If you are like me you are disgusted with the rising cost of electricity and you are doing something about it.
You have your do it yourself guide on how to simply and inexpensively make your own magnetic power generator so you can generate electricity at home.
Your very first step before making your magnetic power generator is to find out how big to make it.
Of course, you say, that is obvious.
Not so fast, there are a few things that some might overlook in this process and I will discuss them here.
The Clue is in the Bill Take out your last utility bill statement from your electrical utility company.
On it you will see just how much electricity you used for the last month.
Look for a line that has kilowatt hours listed, this will be the amount of energy you used that month.
You need to take this number and divide by the number of days for that particular month, as this will give your average daily usage in kilowatt hours.
This number alone can tell you how large to make your generator if you want to be completely energy independent.
How Big Do I Make This Thing? The average US household uses approximately 25 kilowatt hours of electricity every day.
If you live in a hot arid climate and you use air conditioning it will be much higher than this.
And of course, if you live in a temperate climate your bill may be less than this.
Some of you may only want to eliminate a certain percentage of your monthly bill because you don't want to construct a large system.
You may want to design a magnetic generator that delivers 5 kilowatt hours that may be enough to meet your night time needs for several hours before you go to bed.
Say you want to power your computer, TV, microwave, and several lights in the evening.
You can put a watt meter on these devices to find out exactly how much power you will need to generate.
