Home Wind Turbine UK


Here’s a video of home wind turbine in the UK. It is a new [tag-tec]wind turbine[/tag-tec] being tested in the Midland areas. The goal is to get the results to help [tag-tec]green energy companies[/tag-tec] to produce better design in order to produce more electricity from the wind generator.

The wind turbine was imported from Holland and setup in a test site in Shropshire, UK.

One thing is certain, the wind turbine cost 3500 pound sterling and it could provide one third of the electricity power needed for year.

There’s a disclaimer though, you have to live in a rural countryside area where the wind is strong and constant. Check out the video below.


Solar Panels For Homes – Back To Basics




Are solar panels for homes worth the effort? There has been a lot of buzz recently on [tag-tec]renewable energy source[/tag-tec] for homes ever since energy cost went up. It is obvious, one of the largest expenses to maintain a home is the power utility bill.

There are many benefits of installing solar panels for homes. But wait! Before you call a specialist contractor to setup the solar system, there is one key question you have to answer.

Are you planning to move anytime soon?

It may not seem obvious but some people will invest couple of thousand dollar for a [tag-tec]home improvement[/tag-tec] project and then move to another location the next year. Some times situation is beyond your control, such as job related issue.

A residential solar power system can be quite expensive. If you were to employ a professional contractor, be prepared to invest upward of $5000.

Before you begin, make sure you have the permission from your local authority. Due to certain zoning restriction, some places do not allow any extension or additional loading on the roof structure.

How does solar panels for homes work? In simple terms, the solar cells inside the solar panels convert the sun’s energy into electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) cells are normally made using special semiconductor materials that allow electron, which are energized when the material is exposed to sunlight, to be freed from their atoms.

What is PV? The term “photovoltaic” is derived from a combination of the Greek word for light “photo” and “Volta”, the name of the Italian physicist, Alessandro Volta, who invented the battery back in the 1800.

The PV effect is the direct conversion of solar energy into electricity. This process does not generate much heat like domestic solar hot water or solar pool heating system do.

It also differs from the process used in solar thermal, where concentrated solar energy is used to produce steam that activates a turbine connected to a generator.

The information above are very scientific stuff, sort of like being back in high school science class. In a nutshell, when you use solar panels for homes, the solar cells converts the sun’s energy into usable electricity to power our household electrical appliances. That in effect will reduce the total energy consumption therefore reducing our home energy bill.

Power 4 Home Scam – Is Power4Home Just Another Scam?

Is John Russel Of Power4Home The Real Deal?




Recently, there has been a lot of e-books on the web that will show you how to build your own home renewable energy system. The idea sounds very interesting. We can reduce our home power consumption by tapping into free energy from nature via solar power or wind energy. One such green energy guide is John Russel’s Power 4 Home.

Now, many people may be wondering, is Power 4 Home just another scam?

Well, I had that question anyway.

The first renewable energy manual that I bought was Michael Harvey’s Earth 4 Energy. That was back in end of 2008 when crude oil was hitting US150 per barrel. Many people including me was wondering if energy cost going to rise…which it did.

My home electricity bill was adjusted upwards about 10 percent by the power utility company. Now that crude oil is back to a reasonable level, my power bill is still the same. Go figure.

At that time, there was a lot of buzz on Earth 4 Energy and I was interested to find out what was in it. As usual, I have the thought in my mind. Is Earth 4 Energy a scam?

In short, I did buy the e-book. I actually did a Earth 4 Energy review to list down what I learn from the manual.

Is Power 4 Home A Scam?

Many people may have read or heard of John Russel’s Power 4 Home and you may be thinking about buying it. You may have the same question I had.

Is Power 4 Home a scam? Now, what does “scam” mean? Lets look at Wikipedia for some answer.

Here ‘s what I found in our friendly Wiki on the word “scam”:



In the broadest sense, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual. The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime, and is also a civil law violation. Many hoaxes are fraudulent, although those not made for personal gain are not technically frauds.

I highlighted the phrase intentional deception made for personal gain, because I think it is the key phrase.

Does John Russel has intention to deceive his e-book buyers for personal gain?

Personally, I don’t think that is the case. If it was, all the millions of authors that have written books sold in the bookstores are scammers.

Power 4 Home Scam Report Conclusion

Power4Home, is just another e-book on the web and it is an information product. The idea is to get some valuable information out of it. How we use the information is another question.

Some people may have bought a hard cover or paper back book from the book store. Some books like Harry Potter, Lord Of The Rings, The DaVinci Code etc are excellent, while other books we couldn’t even finish the first chapter.

Does that mean the author has scammed you? Maybe not…don’t you think so.

If you have an interest to know more on how you can use renewable energy such as a DIY solar panels or a domestic wind turbine, John Russel’s Power 4 Home is a book you can bet on.
