DIY Magnetic Generator - Discover How Easy it is to Build a Small Scale Generator to Make Power

Green energy DIY projects are a great way to save money and the planet by making your own home power.
Using common materials found around the house and in your local hardware stores you are able to put together your own magnetic energy generator.
Magnetic generators are perfect DIY projects because their parts and components are very basic and easy to find.
This means that no matter where you live in the world you can build your own generator to make your own electricity with from home.
How much will this cost? Everything can be purchased and you should find that it costs no more than $100 USD.
This makes building your own generator an extremely cheap and enjoyable DIY project.
I recommend building a small scale generator first to fully understand how it works.
The best way to see a magnetic generator in action is by building a very basic one which shows how the concept works.
What you will need are at least two magnets, several hundred feet of copper wire, a long nail, a light bulb and some cardboard.
First, take the cardboard and cut it so that you form a box with no top or bottom.
The inside of the box should be hollow.
You can achieve this by simply folding a piece of cardboard around and back onto itself.
Once you have done this, find the middle of one side of the box and punch a hole.
Place the nail through the box so it sticks all the way through to the other side.
Once you have done this, take the magnets and put them inside the box in the center where the nail is.
Next, take the copper wire and wrap it around the outside of the cardboard box which has the magnets enclosed inside.
Wrap the wire around at least 200 times.
After completing this take the ends of the wire and strip off about 1 inch of plastic.
Then connect the wire to your light bulb.
Everything is now ready and you will be able to create electricity using nothing more than the two magnets inside the cardboard box.
Simply spin the magnets around using your fingers and you will see the light bulb light up.
While this is a very small scale project, building larger magnetic generators is possible and they allow you to automatically power appliances in your house and cut back on what you spend on your power bill.
