Earth4Energy Review Video - DIY Renewable Energy Systems

This is my video I've produced to provide a detailed look inside the Earth4Energy Renewable Energy Membership Site.

Earth4Energy is a combination of an Ebooks and instructional videos on how to:-

• Make a DIY Solar Power System.
• Make a DIY Wind Turbine.
• Make a DIY Wind Generator.
• Make Bio-Diesel fuel to power you car or home heating system.

Cutting Costs with Homemade Wind and Solar Power

Renewable energy sources are all over the media, news and Internet. Every day we are reminded that we need to use a renewable energy source such as wind turbines and solar energy.

Like most things in life, money is the first and biggest reason to go with renewable energy.

Face it, energy bills are expensive and solar energy is the best answer to saving money on those bills, either by eliminating them entirely or by taking a huge bite out of them.

Your power bill will certainly drop drastically. For just a few hundred dollars you can build a solar energy generator or a wind turbine and get your savings started.

Building your solar energy generator or whole series of solar panels is not difficult. With a set of easy to use plans that contain clear and easy to follow instructions anyone can build a solar powered generator or solar powered panel with no problem.

The exact same rules apply for a DIY wind generator. If you paid for someone to build your wind or solar generator you would know how expensive labor is – that is why renewable energy is considered expensive.

Household power needs are extensive and vary greatly. You could choose to use solar or wind energy just for your heating and air conditioning system or for all your major appliances in your home.

Whatever you decide to go for you must ensure you use the best step-by-step instructions to ensure your project is a complete success. For that reason I recommend you check out the best homemade power guides.

Solar Hot Water Heating Explained

Solar water heating systems have grown to be a practical choice for many homeowners as technology have moved forward and associated costs have declined. Heating water consumes a great deal of energy, particularly for large families.

Laundry, bathing, doing dishes and many other activities require the use of hot water. These needs can place an economical burden on large families in the form of high electric or gas bills.

Using solar water heating can lower these bills over time.

Options

In colder areas that experience frozen conditions for several months in the winter, there are not as many choices for solar hot water heating. In these climates, the water has a tendency to freeze because of lack of heat.

Homes in climates that are milder can opt for solar hot water heating to save money and the environment. In these climates, the homeowner can also have solar energy installed using roof panels to help with the homes overall energy cost and consumption.

For homes that are in locations where the sun shines year-round and they have their homes situated with the roof toward the south, homeowners can sometimes harness enough energy from the sun to basically eliminate their power bill and possibly even earn money from selling excess power to the local electricity company.

Solar water heating units come in two categories that each has two different types available within their category.

Active solar hot water heating devices contain a circulation pump to move the water through the solar panels for better heat distribution.

Direct circulation systems move the water into the home using the collection system while indirect circulation systems move the water through the circulation system and a heat exchanger. The direct circulation system is better suited for colder climates.

The second type of solar water heating systems is the passive system. Passive systems can be integral collector systems or themosyphon systems. These systems are only suited for warm climates due to the possibility of freezing.
