In this blog post, I thought of doing a review on a personal portable solar power generator, the PowerFilm R15 rollable solar panel.

In my previous blog post, I did a review on foldable solar panel from Brunton which are very convenient if you need to generate power on the move. In the R15 case, instead of folding the Photovoltaic (PV) panel, you roll it up. Yup, roll it up just like a piece of paper. Cool!

On a clear sunny day, the PowerFilm R15 is capable of generating up to 15 volts of electric current at 600 mA or approximately 10 watt. The power output is a little small, but if you use it during camping trips, it can trickle charge some of your electronic gadgets such as digital camera, PDA, cell phone, Ipod, PSP etc.

When the R15 is stretched out, it measures 11.5 x 38 inches or roughly the size of a bath towel. When it is rolled up, it measures only 4 x 4 x 11.5 inches. The entire unit weighs only 1 pound. You can roll it up and put in into your backpack.

Out of the box, the R15 comes with a 15 feet wire with o-ring battery connectors and a RA-2 cigarette lighter adapter.

If you like the outdoors and need a way to generate electricity to charge your mobile devices, check out the PowerFilm R15. It is selling at Amazon.com for $229.99. To buy the R15 from Amazon,com, click here.

DIY Solar Power System

Do you want to know how to build your own home solar power system to slash your monthly electricity bill? If you do, check out Micheal Harvey Earth4Energy package.

It comes with a comprehensive e-book showing you how to build a solar panel with minimal cost and step by step High Definition (HD) instructional videos. For more information, read the reviews of Earth4Energy on this blog.

If you are a home owner, one of the best ways to reduce your monthly electricity consumption is to use a solar power system. The idea is to use Photovoltaic (PV) panels to convert the energy from the sun into usable electricity stored in battery banks.

When you have multiple electrical appliances drawing power from the battery bank, you will begin to notice a reduction of your month utility bill.

Apart from using solar panels, there is another way where you can use free energy from nature to charge the batteries. One of the methods gaining popularity is by using a magnetic generator.

When I first heard of this concept, I was really intrigued and decided to do some research on the subject on the web. When I was researching the information, it lead me to a web site call Free Power Blueprint.

The Free Power Blueprint was created by Ronald Bronson, who is a self proclaim alternative energy enthusiast.

I read through the web page and watched the video on the website at www.freepowerblueprint.com. It is very interesting and I bought the e-book just to find out what it has to offer.

Reviewing The Free Power Blueprint

The idea behind the Free Power Blueprint is to use magnets to create kinetic energy to spin an electric generator. The concept is not perfect, and yet the manual attempts to explain how it could be done.

What Ronald Bronson wanted to show in his manual is to utilize the natural “pulling and pushing” forces of magnets to generate energy. In a nut shell, you begin to build the magnetic generator by preparing a circular disc about 1.5 feet in diameter and supported at the center core through a set of bearings.

Magnet bars with positive poles are placed around the circumference of the disc. Next, place another set of magnet bars with the same positive poles outside the circular plate on a fixed location.

When you turn the disc, the magnets will come close to each other but they do not touch. When the same positive poles get near, their natural tendency is to repel one another. The repelling forces will build up and start to spin the disc faster and faster.

To harness the spinning momentum, a belt is connected from the central core of the disc to an electric generator. When the generator spins, it will create an electric current which then can be used to charge the battery units.

The entire process sounds easy when Bronson explains it in his Free Power Blueprint, but is does require a lot of precision engineering.

Free Power Blueprint Review Conclusion

So what’s my take on the Free Power Blueprint? Is Ronald Bronson for real?

The idea of using a magnetic generator for home sounds very interesting but there are still a lot of room for improvement. Not everyone would be able to make the Do It Yourself (DIY) magnetic generator.

You must have a good grasp on electrical wiring and have the ability to build high precision devices. Nonetheless, that has not stopped many DIY enthusiasts to give it a try.

Personally, the Free Power Blueprint is an informative product and I did gain some new knowledge from it. If you are interested to find out how to make your own home magnetic generator, get a copy of Ronald Bronson’s manual. It comes with a 60 days money back guarantee anyway. If you don’t like it, you can always ask for your money back.

If you are a home owner, one of the biggest household expenses is the monthly electricity bill. With so many electrical appliances at home, the unit that consumes the most power is the heating, ventilation and cooling (HAVC) system.

During winter and summer time, you will notice a sharp spike in your electricity bill. Reason being, you are using more power either to heat up your home during winter or cool down your home during summer.

Let’s take summer time as a topic for discussion. Are there any ways to reduce your electricity bill during summer time?

One option you can try is by installing ventilation fans on your attic. The idea is to remove the hot air from the attic or roof thus reducing the temperature of the living areas below.

If you are looking for a ventilation fan, check out the Auro Solar Attic Fan from Active Ventilation Products.

What’s so special about this fan?

Well, it’s powered by solar energy meaning it does not use any electricity and yet capable of removing hot air from your roof and attic.

The Auro Solar Attic Fan uses 4 units of 10 watt CPU fan. Yup, the same type of fan used on your personal computer. They are efficient, light weight and very quiet when running.

The ventilation unit measures 12 inches in diameter and 9 inches tall. It is made from durable aluminum and tested for wind up to 200 mph.

Whenever the sun is shining, the internal fans will kick in because they are powered by a Photovoltaic (PV) panel on top of the unit. The fans will create a negative pressure hence sucking the hot air out from the bottom. It’s a smart idea of using the free energy from the sun for cooling purposes.

If you are keen on the Auro Solar Attic Fan, it is selling at $205 per unit from Amazon.com. To order the fan from Amazon.com, click here.

Another way of reducing your home electricity consumption is to supplement your power needs with a solar system.

Unfortunately, a system installed by a professional contractor can be quite expensive. A cheaper alternative is to build the system via a Do It Yourself (DIY) approach.
