Many smart people are coming out with ingenious ways to generate cheap electricity at home. One such solution that came from their creative mind is to use magnetic power to generate electricity to supplement a home monthly power consumption.

The idea of using magnets to generate electric power is not new. Many countries have been using it by harnessing the power of water to spin turbines filled with magnets and copper wires. Hence, you see the construction of dams such as Hoover, Three Gorges, Manuel M. Torres, Contra, Lakhwar etc around the world.

If you are a home owner and you want use magnet to generate electricity for your house, it is fair to say you would not be able to build a dam in your backyard. Nonetheless, you still can make a device which will harness the energy of magnets. The device is known as a home magnetic generate which can be built by anyone who is good with hand tools and able to do some electrical wiring. It is not perfect, but it is capable of creating an electric current when done correctly.

The idea is to harness the natural pulling and pushing power in magnets. We’ve learned from high school science classes, magnets have 2 poles which are positive and negative. Different poles will attract while similar poles with repel each other. The magnetic generator uses this concept to generate cheap electricity at home.

The idea is to make a device with a large circular plate supported at the center. Magnets with a positive pole are placed on the circumference of the plate. Next, magnets with similar poles (positive) are placed outside the circular plate at a fixed position. When the plate is spun, the magnets will come close to each other but do not touch. Since 2 similar magnetic poles will repel, the magnets will push off each other therefore adding momentum to the rotating plate.

The key here is to make sure the whole device is well balanced. If the argument that "sweet spot" is found, the round plate is to turn on, until an external force disturbs its motion. The next step is to make use of the centrifugal force exerted on the plate. You can do this by connecting a belt from the central core to do an electrical generator. The spinning forces will turn the generator, therefore creating an electrical current.

The generator can then be used for a charge controller, where the current to be connected to a series of costs isbattery. When the battery is charged, you can now use it to run your home electrical appliances.
