Throwing away one aluminum can

wastes the same amount of energy as

filling it half way with gasoline and then

dumping in the drain.

Facts like this inspired me

to construct a magnetic

generator for my senior

project.

Current solar technology is inefficient and

expensive

› Only 20% of light becomes energy

› 1 solar panel – $1,000

Magnetic generators have zero emissions and can be placed anywhere.

This technology was available decades ago.

Newton: “Energy cannot be created nor

destroyed”

No more water can be

removed from the cup than

is already present (energy

on earth)

Unless the cup is already

under a faucet (earth)

Our society is not limited by a lack of technology, but by a hunger for power.

People would not be powerless due to

geography, and power outages would be left in the past.

Fossil fuels are currently being consumed

at a rate 100,000 times faster than they

are formed.

Oil companies represent a large amount

of money globally.

Fossil fuels drive

the world, and

have led to

many wars.

Oil is the most relied on source of energy, supporting 90% of transportation needs, and nearly 40% of all energy needs.

Coal supports upwards of 90% of all domestic energy needs in the United States, and is currently the largest source of unregulated mercury emissions in the country.

When you drive up to a traffic light, your

car changes the magnetic field of wire

underneath you.

This sends a signal to change the light to

allow you to pass.

Getting magnets to stick on wheel

Winding 900 turns of two copper wires

together on one spool

During one test a large part of the wiring

caught on fire.

I had to rewire the entire project

because the parts became overloaded.

Magnetic generators are simply no

longer the focus of tomorrow.

This technology was never

manufactured, and never truly caught

on.

The focus is now on solar panels and

wind turbines.

Each are fairly inefficient and subject to weather conditions.

Large farms are made with these.

This technology is still something that can be monopolized and sold to consumers.

This maintains the positions of power companies, which would loose revenue is personal magnetic generators were mass produced.

Look into alternative energy sources

Think about switching to natural gas

Reduce carbon footprint

Build a magnetic generator › Take the time to take advantage of this
