2.  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.

3.  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.

4.  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)

5.  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.

6.  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.

7.  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.

8.  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.

11.  Getting magnets to stick on wheel
 Winding 900 turns of two copper wires
together on one spool

12.  During one test a large part of the wiring
caught on fire.
 I had to rewire the entire project
because the parts became overloaded.

13.  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.

14.  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.

15.  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
