Assuming a basic knowledge of mathematics and electricity, this book is designed to help people reduce their electricity bills. John Kuecken gives illustrated instructions for converting junkyard parts into instruments that can harness enough wind, water, or sun power to meet a large percentage of home electricity needs. The book has been updated with computer programs for making important calculations and with information on small windmills and the new Power Tower.
