HANDMADE  ELECTRICITY
This site is devoted to those who have "more time than money" and want to make electricity!  In it I will feature home power systems that are cheap or free to build, including solar, wind, water, gasoline, and perpetual motion(just kidding-there is no such thing!).  I'll be posting the systems and projects from my community-the upper Buckhorn canyon in northern Colorado.  I'll be using it as an excuse to show off my own projects-opinions-etc.  I'll also try to cover other peoples projects and plans-if they choose to share.  Keep in mind-projects need not be finished, and they need not even work to appear on this site.  Please email me with any pictures or plans that you wish to share!  In the future there will be free plans, parts-and possibly surplus items for sale.  Please check out the pages-and be sure to visit some of the links below!
