I love reading about things like this. I have studied wind, solar and hydro, for my home. What it boils down to of course is money.  My power bill this month is 113.00, avg solar for my home 48k. and we have cloud cover most of the day.  we have wind,  but its not steady, and we have times when it feels like the roof is coming off.  One site I saw when I was looking into it, had a man who was buying and testing windmills from the many companies who sell and make them, everyone he bought he had problems with it and had to ship it back for them to repair.

Now that's ok if your in the states, maybe two states over from them, but could you count what it would cost me to ship it here and then a few months later have to ship it back?

I also have a small steam that winds around my home. It does run all year, but again the cost to set something up and the output it will give is really hard to make in worth doing.

I saw a new power source out last year, its called browns gas. I even found a company in china that were building the units, then last time I looked their site was gone.

browns gas is when you split the water, and leave the oxygen and hydrogen together and that gas can be burned the same way as a acetylene torch, only safer. also these units were making the gas as needed. no storage.  You plug the unit in a regular house outlet, add water and you have it.

Some neat things that these guys don't know how it works yet, is for one, the tip of your torch is always cool to the touch.  try that will a acetylene torch and momma will have to tie your shoes for you for a week. the other thing that is really neat is this gas changes its own temp. depending on what it is trying to cut. yeah I know thats a hard one to believe.

now to me, I would think you could hook up this gas to run a power station which in turn you would take the power needed to make the gas. all you need to add is the water.  need more power, you get a bigger unit that makes more gas.
