Thanks for your input mate. I would agree with you if it was the mains that were being used by the alternators to turn 'themselves', however that is not the case here. The vac' is being powered initially by the next door neighbour's mains and is sending air under force down the pipe. That air is...
Hi again Joe and thanks for your further input but I am still not able to understand why the vacuum cleaner doesn't turn the alternators right to the last one along the line. The air it is providing from the exhaust end is moving along the pipe and as it moves it is (as I see it at least)...
Thanks again Joe, I really appreciate your input here. Sorry I have been a few days responding to this. Been upcountry.
OK, now, If only one generator is attached to the front wheel then I can appreciate that there would be a problem with the 'conservation of energy' principle. However, I am...
Sorry Jo,
I thought you were on the 'Electircal Engineering' forum (getting mixed up a bit). If you would like to take a look at my posts there you will get a full explanation of what I am planning and what problems I am facing. Thanks for that.
Hi, thanks for your response. No I am not familiar with any of that but realize that there would be such a thing/s to consider. But let me explain what I'm thinking of here and see if we can make it work somehow. Several alternators (or generators with a converter added) are connected together...

Thanks for your response: Yes I am talking about Alternators.. The plan, as is described in the lead post, is to construct a mechanism that is capable of proving all of the energy needs for my home. Wind turbines are far too expensive for me to purchase so I decided to try to make something that...
Hello again and thanks for your further insight.
The wind/coal/gravity etc are all external forces and they are able to be used to produce energy. Agreed and fully understood... Now, what we will have here is an external force in fact (the driver), and that force is not using any part of the...
Thanks again: I understand what you are saying here, however I can see no connection to this principle in this case when we consider that the driver is using a very small amount of energy from the grid and it turns (via means that do not require actual contact between the driver and the...
I have a information seeking post in 'Electrical Engineering' relating also to alternators joined in series to produce a larger output. The plan is to build a mechanism that has several alternators connected in series to produce a combined 240v AC power supply to run a house, using a driver that...
Thanks for this note: Yes, at least initially, this is basically the principle. A small driver run on town power supply (small energy consumption; about the same as a 20" fan. 80w, 40 amp) will provide the motion of the series of alternators (no belts or chains necessary) that will produce the...
Thanks for your note. So that I don't risk making a complete fool of myself I will just say for the moment that the driver will be powered by town supply energy (that might change later) and it will not need a lot of energy to do that. Once I have completed the project and have it functioning as...
If someone could assist me with some information re: the following it would be very much appreciated. I am planning to build an energy system for my home to address the drastically increasing power bills we have been getting as a result of the unusually hot weather lately. Problem is I am not...
