Free Energy
Reduce your electric bill by 100% or more! Get paid to feed the grid!

The topics discussed on this page are free energy generators and renewable energies.

It seems like the law of entropy would make free energy impossible. However, there are some who not only claim that free energy is possible, but that they've invented a generator to get it.

Free Energy Magnet Generators

The free energy generator is still being investigated by ActuallyFree.info. Any verifiable information on the subject is welcome!

Renewable Energy could have a net cost of $0 and even pay you!

If the free energy generator doesn't really exist, perhaps there are other ways to get free energy. Renewable energy installation is said to only cost more up front. This means that over a period of time the amount paid for installation of renewable energies would cost the same as paying the electric company over that period. In fact, it may even cost less for at least two reasons. The first reason is that there are government grants for converting to renewable energies (see also Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency). This reduces the net cost for installation. The second reason is that if your renewable energies produce more power than you use, and you feed power into the grid, the electric company will pay you! That could eventually lead to a net cost of $0 for the installation and even earn money also.

Renewable energies include: solar energy, wind energy, hydrogen, biomass energy, geothermal energy, hydropower, and ocean energy.

Solar Energy

Solar energy, or energy from the sun, can be used to actively or passively heat your home and water, light your home and dry clothing. Solar energy can be used to generate electricity with solar technology.

Tax payers can get a tax credit for 30% of the cost for installing solar panels.

Find more incentives for installing solar panels at dsireusa.org.

Wind Energy

Wind turbines, either professionally made or home made, can be used to generate electricity and pump water.

Tax payers can get a tax credit for 30% of the cost for installing wind energy systems.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, can be used to join electricity and carry it in a usable form to consumers.

Tax payers can get a tax credit for 30% of the cost for installing hydrogen fuel cells.

Biomass Energy (Free gasoline for your car, free fire wood)

Biomass energy comes from burning organic materials, and can be used to fuel a vehicle or for space heating.

Those who have converted their vehicle to run on biofuels can sometimes get free used vegetable oil from restaurants, which for them is free gas.

Also, if you have a non-gas, wood fireplace, you should never have to pay for firewood. See resources for free fire wood below.

Geothermal Energy

The Earth generates heat, which is energy that can be harnessed with a geothermal or ground-source heat pump. This can be used for heating and cooling your home.

Tax payers can get a tax credit for 30% of the cost for installing a geothermal pump.

Find more incentives for installing geothermal systems at dsireusa.org.

Hydropower

If you live next to flowing water, you can use a microhydropower system to generate electricity.

Find incentives in your state for using hydropower.

Ocean Energy

The ocean produces thermal energy, tidal power and wave power.

If you live near the ocean and would like to harness this power then start here. Make sure to check for incentives and tax credits.

Free Fire Wood

Unless state law doesn't allow wood fires in the home, then you can heat your home with free wood. Go to a construction site and offer to take away their scraps. A home store, like Home Depot or Lowes, will have a saw where they cut wood for customers. Check with the managers to see if you can take those scraps for free. You can also try contacting the National Forest Service to see if there are any projects where you can get free scraps or a permit for cutting your own fire wood.

If none of the ideas on this page actually work, then there is always the gerbil on a wheel.

If you have verifiable information on free energy, please submit it for review.
