@Kator01,

Thank you for providing the Youtube links.

Apology accepted.

Let me give you my spin on free energy for domestic use.  The desire is to get your house off the grid and not significantly change your domestic lifestyle.

The following scenario is not necessarily cost-effective right now, but the trend line is always in its favour and it's a very possible scenario for sometime in the not too distant future.

Take a block in a typical suburban housing development where ten houses are on lots with their backyards all common.  Each house has an insulated cistern in the basement filled with thousands of gallons of water.  Over the course of the summer, solar heat collectors on the roof slowly heat up the water in the cistern.  Water can store a lot of heat and in the wintertime, you tap back into that heat to heat your house.

Each house will also have a large solar panel array.  In the center of the backyards, there is a "power house" that is buried underground that stores the energy collected by the solar panels on all ten houses.  This "power house" will supply the ten houses with their solar-derived electricity and hopefully provide enough electricity so that none of the people on the block have to get power from the grid.

Inside the power house (more like a power bunker) there is a flywheel connected to a motor-generator.  The flywheel is made of carbon composite materials so that it can spin at a very high RPM without eventually breaking apart.  The flywheel is also sitting inside a vacuum chamber to reduce air friction to a minimum.  There are associated electronics systems (inverters, etc) to convert the flywheel energy into conventional mains power to feed each of the ten houses.

So during the day the solar panels on the roofs of the ten houses pump their energy into the flywheel in the power house and the RPM slowly starts to climb.  At night time when people are consuming power the flywheel RPM slowly starts to decrease.  It would be easy to monitor the power consumption of each house to share the available "free" power in a fair manner.  If the flywheel drops below a certain RPM, then you have to draw from the grid to get your power.  If every day you have a net excess of stored flywheel energy, then you could sell it and pump it back into the grid.

That's how I think domestic "free energy" will eventually come about.  I am talking about real AC mains power, just like we are used to.  It is not cost effective right now, but eventually the trend lines will get to the point where it will be.  It is reasonable for ten new home buyers to split the cost of the communal "power house" and we will push our luck and assume that in ten years the cost of solar panels will have dropped ten-fold.  The carbon composite flywheel spinning in a near vacuum solar energy storage system would also drop in cost if you were to build it in volume.

It's a plausible scenario for the not too distant future.

@MileHigh,

Here is my prediction for power generation in a not so distance future.

Humans will soon discover that "The Laws of Thermodynamics" are flawed and that
energy can be created and destroyed at will. Over unity systems will power everything
from mobile phones to airplanes. We will not need the electric grid anymore and there
will be no reason to fight for energy resources. The "Conservation of energy laws" will be
put onto display in museums for the amusement of coming generations.

THAT is how I see the future and the only way to get there is by doing research. NO
mainstream science will ever do that research. So it it up to us "nut cases", basement
researchers and other good people to find a solution to the energy needs of this world.

And that is THE only reason why I use my time and money on this type of research.

Alex.
