Here are some more information for Wind Hydro:
This article will deal with the electrical earth arrangements in a domestic dwelling in the UK. Contrary to a lot of peoples notions the earth is very necessary.
Why do we have an earth in our houses? To answer that requires a little explanation of how electricity reaches our homes and how fuses work.
Electricity is generated at power stations or similar installations,
wind farms, hydro-electric turbines etc. These plants generate the electricity which is the transformed up to around four hundred thousand volts and distributed around the country via the national grid.
It is easy and cost effective to transport electricity at these incredibly high voltages but obviously it once again has to be transformed back down to 230 volts for use in the house.
At the transformer the centre of the winding is connected via rods or mats, to the earth. This earthing of the winding provides a reference point, nominally zero volts. Electricity is then supplied at 230 volts to this reference.
To be useful electricity requires a circuit. The electricity must flow from a source, through the device whatever it may be, kettle, iron cooker etc. and return to that source.
To protect the cable in which it flows the amount of electricity must not exceed the capability of the cable. This would be an overload in the long term, in the short term a fault in the cable or any device attached to it will cause a large amount of electricity to flow and it is this that blows the fuse.
The amount of electricity needed to blow a fuse is determined by the rating of the fuse itself, i.e. a current of around 1.6 times the fuse rating is required to operate a re-wirable fuse so a 20A fuse will need approximately 32 amps.
To facilitate the quick and efficient operation of the fuse the electrical earth provides a quick route back to the source, that is the transformer. The better the return path, the more electricity flows and the quicker the fuse operates.
The circuit that the live conductor and the earthing conductor form is called the earth loop. The earth loop is measured with a special tester and must conform to certain constraints for the variety of fuses available.
The requirements for each type of fuse, properly called a protective device, are laid down in the wiring regulations. The electrical earth therefore, is extremely important for the safety of any user of electrical system. The absence of the earthing conductor means that any fault on the system will not operate the fuse until you or one of your family becomes that missing part.

Yacht Wind Turbines
This is one of my dream possessions, a yacht that is.If I get one I probably will install a yacht wind generator to charge my onboard batteries.
You know the modern yachts now carry a lot of electronic equipment on board things like gps, radar and if you have autopilot that also needs power to run. If you are out on the sea you definetely can not stop and recharge your batteries. You could have solar panels installed but what if there’s no sun. What do you do then?
It makes sense then to have a marine wind generator installed on your yacht, so you can enjoy your ride to the fullest. Nowadays they now even have yacht wind generators that also double up as water generator which generates power by using the water to turn a propellor a the yacht moves. This is kind of like the old hydro electric plant design just on a smaller scale.
One of the most popular such generator is the Duo Gen. They recently released the newer model Duo Gen 2 which has some improvements on the older version, mostly just stronger fixtures and installations to make it more durable and therefore last you many yours to come.
Another type you could consider is the Air-X-Marine. This is a more intelligent generator that has an onboard micro processor to improve all the fucntions including overall performance, battery charging and the reduction of the annoying flatter noise that is common on most other brands.
It also has a built in high wind safe mode that automatically slows the generator down in high winds as well as the auto brake system that stops the wind generator when the batteries become fully charged. It comes with a full marine tower kit for easy mounting on any sailboat.
There’s also the Ampair brand. They produce more heavy duty type marine wind generators. Their generators tend to be all weather proof make up which includes a sealed design which does not allow you any access into the units sensitive areas. You can get them in 3 different power outputs that is the Ampair 600, Ampair 300, and Ampair 100 micro wind turbine.
There are other brands of yacht wind generators available on the market, but I thought I would just mention a few here to let you know that you do have a few choices to choose from. I guess your decision will be based on where you are you are going to be doing most of your sailing.

Consider at least three of the following alternative energy resources?
Nuclear
Solar
Wind
Hydro
Wave
Geothermal
Biomass
Determine and compare the advantages and disadvantages. Then, decide which type of alternative energy resource would be best used in your area of the state or country.
solar, easy to come by, plentiful.
hydro, easy to set up, used for years, some areas dont have it
wind, easy to come by, used for years, some areas dont have it
geothermal, some areas dont have it
wait..am i doing your homework here?
How Wind Farms Affect the Global Climate
Wind energy has been a fast growing sector of the overall energy market. It is renewable energy that can be produced on an industrial scale that can rival the older established energy sources of coal, gas, oil, hydro, and nuclear. Now, it accounts for only two percent of the whole energy market, but government officials expect wind to produce one fifth of the total electricity supply in the ...
