Homemade Power
Plant Has Earned Our 2nd Place Rating
 of 9.5 out of 10
Home Made Power Plant is the name of an eBook that
deals with the timely and important topic of how to
reduce the escalating costs of electricity in an
environmentally friendly way. This instruction manual
attempts to teach the reader how to build low-cost solar and
wind powered electricity generators in order to reduce or
even completely eliminate the amount of power purchased from
the utility companies.
One of the major problems of home generated electricity has
been the enormous up-front cost of purchasing and having a
commercial system installed. At $6,000 to well over $20,000 the
beak even point can in some cases be 8 to 15 years. Building
your own can be as low as $200 each for either a solar panel or
a single wind turbine. The pay back on building it yourself can
be just a few weeks.
What you get:
Home
Made Power Plant is an instant download, 115 page
eBook that you can read directly from a computer monitor or
print out for more traditional reading.
Bonus Materials: 2 eBooks are offered as free
bonuses: " How To Build Solar Panels" “Biodiesel, An
Alternative Gas Solution For Your Car” and “Tricks and Tips To
Save Energy”.
What Building Skills Are Required?:
Just the basic tools skills that most homeowners acquire
over time. Using a jigsaw, electric drill, soldering,
hammering, sawing, screw driving, painting etc.
If you choose to integrate your solar or wind generators
into your home wiring to add to the power to run your household
or even to sell your excess electricity back to the power
company, you wills need to hire a licensed electrician.
What Tools are Needed?:
Jigsaw, hand or circular saw, soldering iron, electric
drill, socket set, file, hand sander, screw drivers, paint
brush, hammer, etc…. Well you get the idea. All you will need
are common everyday tools most of which you may already
own.
How Much Time Does It Take To Build?:
Once the parts and raw materials have been acquired it will
take about a weekend for an organized and experienced handy-man
(or handy-woman sorry). It might take at least a week per solar
panel or windmill for those of us with more average skills.
The Negatives:
The book is not a perfect step by step example of
exactly how to build the same solar panels and wind
generators that the author, Frank Patrick, built. But, out of
all the manuals I have reviewed this book comes the
closest.
I must say though, in defense of Home
Made Power Plant, it does acknowledge that you may not
find exactly the same parts for your generator projects
anyway. So, the instructions are geared toward helping you
to understand the concepts behind the construction for
maximum adaptability.
I wish that the book came with a companion video. I find
that so much more of the critical construction details can be
communicated through a video as compared to the written word. I
have not found any video yet on this topic.
UPDATE: The
Earth4Energy Manual that competes with
Home Made Power Plant has begun producing
short instructional videos to explain some of the critical
construction details. These well made videos are availble at no
charge for anyone buying their eBook. The writing is not quite
as thorough as the Home Made Power Plant Guide but the videos
more than make up it. For more details follow this link to
Earth4Energy Review.
The Positives:
Home
Made Energy Plant does an excellent job of
describing the background concepts without bogging down the
reader with unnecessary electrical or other technical
theories. Everything included in the manual seems to exist
only to make building the projects a little easier. Very
Little fluff.
The writing is clear, simple and understandable.
This eBook was obviously created by someone that has
actually succeeded in building and integrating both solar and
wind powered electrical generators. Some other books appear to
be written by people that have only just copied other original
works without test building the concepts.
The manual includes lots of diagrams, illustrations and
photos that, most of the time at least, do a fine job of
clarifying the written instructions.
The book is available in an instant download format. This
means that about 5 minutes after ordering over the internet it
is on your computer and ready to read directly or print out for
more traditional reading.
The price, at a sale price of $47 is reasonable for this
specialized information, especially if you consider that the
project should pay back your entire investment in just a few
weeks. Of course you have to actually build something and not
just read it to make this happen.
Support: An email address for questions, a free
newsletter and free updates of the eBook Home
Made Power Plant.
Updates: Free lifetime updates come with the
purchase.
Guarantee: Home
Made Power Plant offers a 60 day money back
guarantee.
Price: I purchased a copy on sale for $47
USD
Bottom Line:
The goal of this eBook is excellent: To reduce or eliminate
your personal electricity costs by using home built solar
and wind powered generators in an environmentally friendly
manner.
There are a few other good eBooks like this one that use a
similar organization scheme and even some of the exact same
photos and illustrations and for about the same price. But,
none of them is written quite as clearly nor includes as many
of the critical little details that often make the deference
between a reasonable easy success.
It is for these reasons that I can unhesitatingly recommend
the eBook Home
Made Power Plant.
