A no fueling, no resource relying electric generator? can you make this?

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi, I've seen so many of ben heck's creations and I was wondering, could you make a generator that creates electricity without needing any kind of fuel and does not rely on any resources?

I've tried to do some research and magnetic motor generators seems like the best bet for this but I haven't seen any magnetic generators that seem effective enough.

The other idea I could think of is to make a wind turbine, make a roof over it, mount magnets to the ends of the turbine, mount magnets from the roof to the right spots around the turbine, that way the turbine could keep rotating without having to rely on the wind.

But I don't know how to make a turbine to conduct a lot of electricity, and of course I'm no expert on this stuff either.

So, could you ben, or any of you out there that could make some sort of device or anything that creates electricity for your home, without any fuels or resources?

    If Ben knew how to do this he wouldn't be wasting his time making videos about electronics for a living ! MK

    ...you have to have an energy input, to draw energy out of your generator - watch Countryfile from Sunday 29th Mar on iplayer, they had a great account of generating electricity from tidal energy. You…
