setup like this one it features a flying kite a rotor and a generator the kite can take various forms but the key is that its design allows the rotor to spin as the rotor turns it activates the generator producing electricity it may sound complicated the way it works is simple requiring only one thing when using this device as a home energy source is a great idea because of its compact design the generator and rotor Tak up very little space allowing it to be easily placed on the roof or any other location the only potential issue might be with the air kite is it requires a considerable amount of open space despite its convenience for household use this solution may not be good enough for high demand appliances for example one system has a power output of 100 Watts while another only delivers 3 Watts it's unlikely that a significantly more powerful version could be created nevertheless wind kites add a visually pleasing element to the surroundings [Music] however there's a more aesthetically pleasing way to harness wind energy take a look at these wallmounted wind turbines they not only add an Artistic Touch to any space but also produce electrical energy solar heaters with the sun always shining above us we have the luxury of heating our homes by installing one or more of these systems in installing one or more of these systems isn't a simple task as it involves dealing with pipes and connecting them to various components then you need to link the system to a water storage unit and finally connect it to the home's heating system there are many ways to connect the system but one thing is clear it's complex and timec consuming which is why it's best left to train professionals after installation you might wonder how this whole system actually works it's quite simple water circulates through pipes getting heated by the Sun and then goes into a storage unit later this war liquid can be used for heating yes the system brings autonomy to homes and it does so quite efficiently however let's not forget about the cost devices like these can be a significant investment and they may not pay off quickly therefore they might be best suited for those willing to invest for the long-term or those in dire need of autonomy like people living in remote and secluded [Music] communities growing Dome having a self-sufficient source of food is perhaps one of the top priorities for those aiming to make their homes more autonomous luckily there are Innovative Dome green houses that can help achieve this goal in these domes people with a passion for self-sufficiency and gardening can cultivate a variety of crops throughout all four seasons these Dome green houses made of 6in polycarbonate panels are completely sealed making them resistant to UV rays rain and even winds not too strong though with the addition of heating equipment they can withstand winter temperatures as well depending on the planting capacity needed you can choose green houses of various sizes for instance the smallest and coziest Greenhouse has a diameter of 15 ft suitable for a small household with modest food needs on the other hand there's a gigantic option with a diameter of 39 ft perfect for supplying food to a large family it's clear that these kinds of green houses won't come cheap the smaller version will set you back nearly $110,000 while the larger one comes with a whopping $52,000 price [Music] tag septic tank achieving a fully autonomous lifestyle would be incomplete without an autonomous sewage system however it's important to note that such an Endeavor would require a significant investment of time effort and resources developing an independent sewage system means extensive excavation a and installation work setting up a sewage system can follow different steps for instance you might Begin by installing a septic tank this buried waste container requires Excavating an adequately sized pit then with the help of the equipment position a large tank within it once operational waste enters the tank goes through anerobic digestion and then the remaining liquids flow into the soil filtration system this system can be installed as a Next Step following that you'll need to set up the internal household sewage system and connect everything with pipes ultimately despite the considerable costs having such a sewer system is genuinely important in an Off the Grid home no matter where it is however this Independence is somewhat theoretical as it's unlikely one can maintain the system without help from experts solar cooker put together this unusual device step by step and now you have a cooking tool that doesn't need any electricity whatsoever the solar cooker can come in various shapes and designs and the one on the screen for instance is like a plate that easily assembles and disassembles a feature not common in all solar cookers as you can notice this one stands out for its larger size covering an area of 18 square ft allowing it to capture more sunlight and boost efficiency this is how cooking Works harnessing the power of concentrated sunlight this happens with the help of a reflective surface in the
