Save on Your Energy Bill- Construct a Permanent Magnet Motor

If you're like me, your electricity bill seems to go up every month. With the ever increasing cost of oil, natural gas and the seemingly increasing danger of using nuclear energy, like you I say there's got to be a better way.

There are energy alternatives out there. If you have a lot of money to spend you can have solar panels installed on your roof, or if you have a lot of money you can buy one of those solar kits and install it yourself. If you have even more money and a lot of acreage you can start your own solar farm.

Or, you can have a wind turbine installed, again if you have disposable income. But you are going to need a considerable amount of disposable income because wind turbines need to be high and in the clear to harness sufficient wind energy and erecting 70 or 80 foot towers are not exactly a DIY project.

There is another alternative. There is a technology that has been around a while, but for whatever reason has never really been given the chance it deserves. I am speaking of the permanent magnet motor.

The permanent magnet motor has been promoted by various inventors from Nikola Tesla to Howard Johnson but has yet to have its day in the sun. Various experts say that the entire idea is impossible, that it violates all the laws of physics, but all you need to do is search YouTube and you will come up with many practical examples of working permanent magnet motors.

In spite of what the experts say, one man, Howard Johnson, spent the majority of his life studying and implementing the theory of the permanent magnet motor. In fact, he would eventually obtain a patent for his designs.

To top that, an entire article was devoted to his work in the spring 1980 issue of Science and Mechanics. The author of this piece even traveled to Mr. Johnson's workshop and was rewarded with a live demonstration of his work, and he was thoroughly impressed with what he saw. Impressed to the point that the author insisted that the idea should be promoted as a realistic alternative energy generation system.

So, what are the immediate advantages of the permanent magnet motor? Here are just a few:

Cost- Materials to construct a permanent magnet motor can be obtained at your local home improvement or electronics store with a very reasonable cash outlay.

Ease of Assembly- even the greenest of DIY'ers can construct a permanent magnet motor with a quality step by step set of assembly plans

Safe- the permanent magnet motor uses no flammable fuels or external power sources and presents no fire or electrocution hazards.

Quiet- the permanent magnet motor makes very little noise, very much less than a fossil fuel powered generator.

Requires Little Space- The permanent magnet motor can even be operated in the house itself since it emits no exhaust or other toxic fumes.

No Operating Overhead- Since the permanent magnet motor requires no fuel or external power your operating costs are practically nil.

Low Maintenance- No Oil changes, no refueling, no adjustments. The permanent magnet motor will run practically forever without any attention whatsoever.

So, considering all the permanent magnet motor offers as far as benefits, why not start today and reduce your electricty bill? Its as simple as making an investment in quality step by step plans, an investment that will pay for itself quickly in energy savings and the lack of frustration of trying to cook up your own design.

The construction of a permanent magnet motor will give you years of service and years of lower energy bills and years of pride from saying "I built it myself!"
