As we have seen with that in these times of energy issues has
increased. The increase of
population, housing, motor vehicles, industrial, and public facilities has
increased very rapidly.Which require electrical energy supply and fuel oil
increased as well. While the availability
of fossil-based energy is decreased.
It is easy to see the real impact of these problems; On
television you see the news that the government will raise oil prices and electricity
tariffs, then the public noisy protest.
If you missed it, you'll still feel the immediate impact on your
finances. Because oil prices and
electricity rates will continue to rise, anyway. Triggering a rise in the price
of almost all goods, services, and the food you buy.
If you should choose: Who do you want to be? Being a government official who took the
decision to raise oil prices and electricity tariffs? Or become those who protest that policy?
I do not know which one you choose, but I know that we can
choose to help them, while also helping ourselves in minimizing the impact of
the problem.
The trick is to take concrete action to make efforts in energy
conservation and utilize sources of renewable energy resources. Because doing nothing certainly will not help
anyone.
Here I will describe how to create a tool that I believe will be very useful for reducing your monthly electric bill though without reducing your energy consumption by utilizing wind power.
I have arranged for this instrument can be made with materials
that are readily available, easy to make, but still reliable, versatile and
durable.
Because it is a reliable and versatile, it can be used in
conjunction with the environment of your neighbors, then also can be financed
and carried out jointly in order to save costs.
If you do not interested to make it, you can still help by
spreading the use and how to make it to anyone in anyway.

this blog as long as include the source.
1. Electric generating,
3. Water
pumping, and
4. Running machines are usually driven by electric motors
or small size gasoline / diesel motor.
It was only because of two major considerations:
However, as I've said, you can eliminate one or two function if
not needed. Making it easier in manufacturing and lower costs.
Why we choose to Make
a Versatile Wind Turbine?
I call
this design as versatile wind turbine because it is deliberately designed to
fulfill several functions to;
2. Air compressing,
Of the
four functions I will just describe to the third function, with the
consideration that fourth function will require a very long and complex
descriptions.
Perhaps
you are wondering why I designed a four-function, while in the daily practice
we can perform all functions as long as electricity is already
available? Why we should add an air compressor pump function if the
function of electric generator only we could turn on an electric
compressor? Or, why add water pump function if by function electric
generator only we could turn on an electric water pump?
cost efficiency; Make one
tool with many functions are certainly more efficient than the three or four
tools with one function each. While some functions may be omitted if
not required. And,
energy efficiency; Changing
a form of energy into other energy forms always cause energy losses. For
example, if you run the air compressor pump with an electric motor you will
lose some of your electrical energy that converted into heat due to the
electric motor. Whereas before we had to lose energy as well as changing the
turbine rotation into electricity at the electric generator. So why do we
not use the torque that is used for the electric generator just to directly run
the air compressor's pump? The result are that we have a better
energy-efficient system. And we no longer even need both electric generator and
electric motor; another
cost-efficient matter.
There
are times where it's worth the three functions are applied to obtain maximum
results with minimum cost. For example: you want to build a business base
tire and a public toilet just off the highway between the provinces that are
not crossed by the installation of electricity and taps. You will need an
air compressor having a petrol or diesel engine, manual water pumps, and
kerosene lamps, battery-powered radio is also possible so the waiter not get bored. By
installing a 3-function versatile wind
turbine you do not need to buy a motor of the compressor and the gas,
also do not need to buy a water pump, kerosene for lamps and batteries for the
radio. In fact, in that remote place you can still turn on the tv. And
for all of that you do not need to pay more than for the turbine and engine
maintenance.
