This step by step tutorial of how to build a small Hydropower generator for off the grid energy education. This introduction to building a hydroelectric generator will show the basics of hydroelectricity. Although, this project is used from recycled materials and will not stand up to long term use – it will prove that the concept is viable and can be reconstructed with more durable materials.
You could build a generator that is capable of generating a usable amount of electricity and actually store the energy in a battery bank as a backup.
Learning how to create off the grid energy options are not widely taught, you have to actively search and educate yourself. Sometimes trial and error happens but you have to get in there and experiment.
Being a self sufficient homesteader is not inexpensive, it takes a large financial commitment upfront that will eventually pay off over time and eventually saving you money.
