Welcome to my renewable energy sources blog

I am welcoming you to my renewable blog for one simple reason that you are somebody who is looking for clean and inexpensive energy to save you money and also help save the environment for our sons and daughters. Anyone who strives for this new and efficient sources of energy must be commended for it and I commend you for all the efforts you are making to get access to this new and efficient form of energy. On this blog, we'll attempt to post articles and resources about renewable energy that eventually will come to replace the old form of energy we are too accustom to.

Composting Toilets, Homebuilt Generators, and more

We are working on a number of projects today. It's -25F outside, so it's a good day to stay indoors near the wood stoves. Even the generator wouldn't turn over, even with the recoil start. Brought it in next to the wood stove to thaw out. The worm beds are under construction, and we ordered a inexpensive bucket toilet with lid as one of the food sources for the worms. Many folks use sawdust or peat, but we use recycled Coconut fiber. For info on how it works, read about it at http://weblife.org/humanure/default.html

The other project is a rebuild of our propane converted B&S 10hp Generator. We smoked the coils on the alternator, and have decided to rebuild it as a DC battery Bank Charger. We bought a 108 amp GM alternator, and are belt driving it from the 10hp B&S propane powered engine. More pics to come on that project.
