The Magnetic Generator

Nikola Tesla first showed the world alternating current electricity at the World's Columbian Exhibition in 1883. As with any other green energy source of electricity, there is no carbon footprint left behind. Also, the creation of the magnetic generator makes minimal emissions. There is very little work to create the magnetic generator that requires electricity; therefore there is no drain on the power grid which would require electricity to be generated via nuclear power plants.

The magnetic generator also can create enough electricity to power an average building, and have surplus left to sell back to the electric power grid. It is claimed that an average sized magnetic generator can produce four hundred and twenty rotations per minute, equaling approximately one hundred and eighty watts. The magnetic generator, however, can basically power itself. The magnetic generator can produce five units of power, while using only one unit input of power. It does not require raw environmental materials such as wind or sun.

Another great factor of the magnetic generator is that it can be built at home for a tiny fraction of the startup cost of other green energy power conversion processes and systems. All the materials needed to build a magnetic generator can be purchased at the local hardware store, and the average cost of parts and materials is around five hundred dollars. This is a great savings compared to the thousands of dollars the solar panels and wind turbines cost to startup.

Yet another great advantage of the magnetic generator is the fact that there is little to no maintenance required for sustains the electricity output. The warranty on most magnetic generators is twenty-five years, although the life expectancy of the magnetic generator is almost never-ending, as long as metal pieces are not allowed to rust.

The magnetic generator does this quietly, with minimal noise pollution, and with no emissions. This is because the magnetic generator simply requires wheels aligned with magnets to turn to generate the electricity. There are no large motors required to convert the alternating current from the magnets into the direct current that will power the building.

Another great advantage of using the magnetic generator is the compact size. Unlike wind turbines, the magnetic generator can require as little space as a central heating and air conditioning fan mount. The generator is small enough to be hidden easily in a small space such as a small shed or for those who are eradicating the central system of the house, in the fan mount box outside the house. Storing this magnetic generator can also minimize the maintenance needed to prevent rust, oxidation and other climate-related issues.

There are many sites offering the sale of instructions and guidelines. This may be worth while, because most people are not aware of the ability of magnets to change polarity. Also, the magnets may work against the current instead of with due to looping, and generators are most efficient when this ant-work is closest to zero.

There are many advantages to using magnetic generators, and it is possible that in the future, they will be seen in many more households around the world.
