Lets say I have a stream next to my house. |

>>1463 I've often thought about this. I reckon, a diesel generator dynamo could be powered by a water wheel if you get the gear ratios right (fast enough spin the dynamo wheel at the required speed). You could attach it to a windmill quite easily too. |

You could probably pick up a knackered diesel generator with a good dynamo for scrap money too. |

On this subject, I just bought a house, and I've been thinking about installing a wind turbine. Apparently they cost shitloads but you sell electricity back to the National Grid so it could pay for itself. Anyone know anything about this? |

>>1480 Not only that but the government pays you to generate your own electricity (that you use and don't sell). This is because every watt you generate for yourself is a watt that they didn't have to build extra infrastructure to create, given increasing power usage. However, the best thing you can do in your house is make sure it is as efficient as possible. Make sure insulation is up to standard, bulbs are low energy, south facing windows are not wasted etc... |

Solar can work quite well if you get enough panels (like covering the roof). |

I am in the market for a stove. I was wanting one that could be used for cooking and heating water, rather than one of those modern glass jobbies that only do heating. |

Can you use a paraffin heater safely indoors or will oxygen supply and carbon monoxide be a danger factor? |
