Electricity bill too high?

I think the guy said 15kw…FREE and off the grid.

Well last month my bill dropped to $172 a month now and they still owe me $600 credit. January and February will eat that up though. Not having a grow running since May has dropped the consumption a lot :slightly_smiling_face:

Thats very interesting, to buy the generator and motors would be pretty expensive, but you would recoup that eventually, hopefully before it all wares out.

I see a lot of free electric generation stuff but that is the simplest yet :+1:

how can you think that is real and not a scam? Do you really think you can create more energy than you put in?

While watching the video I noticed when he uses the cut off saw the motors don’t slow at all. Adding a load such as that will definitely slow the motors down. I call the video FAKE :rofl:

“But look, there is no wires other than the ones hooked up in the air connecting them together.”

Yeah, but the two rods going into the wood has a line running to an outlet. Sorry, I passed my motors and generator section in College. “No free energy for you.”

I have been looking at a lot of these on Youtube I have some 1 and 2 horse power motors as well as motors from heavy duty blenders and fans. I also have a big new car alternator to mod. I dont know if these are real but I am going to test out the info myself.

No, they are not real, don’t waste your time. These people get free electricity from Youtube because of all the traffic they get from people wanting to see the impossible work.

It’s bogus. Those old heavy motors when spun-up hold a lot of momentum. The two motors on the right hold the momentum to drive a much smaller generator on the left.

They briefly apply AC power to get the large and heavy motors spun-up. Essentially energy storage.

Small experiment illustrating the concept:

The above is a flywheel. Momentum is added to the heavy disc of metal which then drives a small generator. As a load is added to the generator, momentum in the large flywheel is converted into electricity. The electrical load on the generator will cause a ‘braking’ force on the flywheel (via electromagnetism) causing it to slow as the stored momentum is converted into electrical energy. Energy is always conserved. The power in will equal the power out (in some form of energy such as heat, momentum, electricity, etc).

Where something like this is useful is for energy storage or smoothing out line transients / brown-outs. In fact, very large flywheel assemblies on the power grid can do just that.

That is not what is happening in the video, they are running too long for just momentum to keep the bunch going. From the sound you can here that they do not slow down. I spent ten years doing servicing of industrial HVAC equipment with motors that ranged from a half hp (exhaust fans pulling air from bathrooms) to 25 hp motors supplying air to a number of floors in a hospital including OR’s. So I have a fair idea what the physics involved is. Just a scam.

Sorry, should have said in the three motor one with the cutoff saw and the welder.

The physics are scalable.

How does one fall for the free energy scam?

Like “male enhancement pills” if it really worked…don’t you think it would be fairly popular?

It would literally upend science as we know…but some guy on youtube definitely figured it out haha.

Still have my textbook. As much as I forgot (boy they cram a lot into your head) I do remember you have resistive losses (wire resistance), magnetization losses (the iron and air gap losses), windage losses (spinning in the air), bearing losses (friction). All but the windage losses generate heat (actually it does a little also but swamped as compared to the others) and that heat (energy) has to come from somewhere.

Vegging for 13 hours and flowering for 11 hrs works fine for me.
Applying this to my second grow now, all good.
Easiest way to reduce cost.

It might work for you, but how are your plants? :laughing:

I go from 16/8 in veg to 11/13 for flower. I guess the 18/6 is supposed to speed up veg but I never noticed a difference between veg growth using 24, 18 or 16 hrs of light and if there is any it’s minimal but the difference between the electric bill from 24 to 16 is noticeable.
