I'm considering putting up a small wind farm on my roof since I live alongside a long ridgeline and get consistent strong breezes. Peak output is 400w/turbine, and the grid will buy it back.

Just a hint for those of you considering wind, solar, etc. power, charging a battery and messing around with all that wiring actually reduces efficiency, it's better to hook up an inverter and run your setup directly back to the grid so your net power consumption drops.

And don't forget to get an emergency shutoff and tag your telephone pole that you have a generator! Otherwise the poor linesman coming to save you from a power outage gets zapped.

This might just be crazy enough to work so I was flippin thru a science book today when i came across this picture that had a solution of NaCI or Sodium Chloride and inside the mixture it had 2 metal conductors and those were attached to some wires that ran into a battery and then into a lightbulb and the bulb was burning bright I dont know shit about science so I was wondering if anyone could verify if this method would work for running maybe 3 or 4 CFLs without any power cords or anything Rating: 5
