Homemade Energy Review

Financial crisis or not, most people are always looking for ways to make their lives cheaper while maintaining the standard of life that they are accustomed to. Enter Home Made Energy, a book that loves the word environment and the idea of getting you to create your own power source from your very own home.

Is it a Home Made Energy Scam? That’s a question that should really come up in your head. Green is the new buzz word and it’s one that gets a fair amount of abuse from the media and from marketers who want a little edge on the competition. The doubt is often doubled by the fact that it comes in the form of an e-book – while very accessible, that also means that just about anybody can write and sell one, meaning you’re never really sure if you’re getting information from a trusted and studious source.

This Home Made Energy review aims to let you know just what you’re getting into before you commit to purchasing this particular e-book. Read on and discover whether or not this thing is truly worth your money and time.

The Goal

The Home Made Energy E-book has a simple purpose – to teach the reader just how to build their own home energy sources, such as a low cost solar panel or even a wind powered generator. The aim is to either reduce the amount of energy you draw from your local power company or even eliminate the need for them to give you energy to begin with.

That’s something a lot of homeowners could really get behind. The problem is that most solar panels or wind powered generators simply cost way too much for the average and even for most above average earners to afford. With the cheapest of machines coming it at around seven thousand dollars, it’s easy to understand that why people say that it’s not easy being green. Apparently, according to the Home Made Energy e-book, it is entirely possible to make one of your own for as little as two hundred dollars.

This Home Made Energy review will first look at their website and how it presents itself. The next step would be to look at both the pros and cons of the e-book, judging it by the quality and uniqueness of the information it gives out.

The First Impression

Things aren’t looking good for Home Made Energy. The first thing that leaps out at you at their website is how salesy it looks. It doesn’t even bother to make itself stand apart from the many pure sales websites around – it’s as if they have a template for scam websites running around and everyone uses it. For something that supposedly saves thousands of dollars, it doesn’t seem to have afforded the maker the money to hire a website designer.

The second thing that leaps out at you is the statement “…makes the electric company pay him.” The statement is loaded with so much wish fulfillment that it’s actually absurd. Give it some time to sink in, the idea of the electric company paying you is one thing. MAKING them is totally ridiculous. Let it really sink in and you’ll figure out just how idiotic the concept is.

Another absurd claim is that Wall Street is out to get you. This kind of anti-capitalistic view is astounding – movies have only started to move away from the idea that capitalism and corporations are made up of evil bastards looking to harm their consumer base and into the much wiser idea that most corporations would actually love for you to be successful. After all, if their consumer base is successful, that means that they have more money to spend on the products and services offered by the company in question.

Lower on the page is a list of seven reasons why you need your home made energy source, as if the fact that it’s available wasn’t enough. If it needs to use fun as a selling point, well, it makes it sound like a toy or an Ikea chair rather than an actual generator. It also claims that it dropped its price from $300 dollars to a mere fifty. Interestingly enough, it never appears to have been sold at the original price. More interestingly, it thinks it can be sold for $300 dollars. Real books aren’t sold at that price. E-books aren’t sold at that price. That’s a gaming console, or a pretty powerful computer – that is NOT AN E-Book. There’s a reason it gets called the Home Made Energy Scam by real alternative energy enthusiasnts and not the Home Made Energy miracle.

The final nail in the first impression casket is the fact that it simply seems way too good to be true. What do the iPod, the Playstation and the Wheel have in common? Simply, the fact that each product is amazingly successful. Ideas sell and this one just isn’t selling that well. It’s not even famous and when something this revolutionary comes to bat, everyone’s going to want to see if it can knock one out of the park.

It is simply filled with absurd, largely unsupported and grossly inaccurate jokes that makes the occasional brain hurt when read for far too long. Interestingly enough, as you’ll read on, there are some random testimonials from some suspiciously generic names claiming that they’re sitting pretty with their three windmills.

The question is then, does Home Made Energy really work?

Does Home Made Energy Really Work?

Here’s the big problem – if you want people to buy and trust in your e-book or anything you write, you need to sound professional. You need to know what you’re talking about. Failing that, at least make the effort to sound like you know what’s going down on the screen. It’s way too easy to spot a weak argument, what with the internet offering instant information at anyone’s fingertips.

That being said, there’s a reason people are calling it the Home Made Energy Scam. Reading it brings to mind the idea of a sad little high school student, scheming a way to make some extra cash for that date or game and figuring out that e-books were the way to go. With that in mind, they get to work, figuring out that Green is In and to put that together with energy means people will read it.

Some work at Wikipedia and some basic high school science and they come up with Home Made Energy. Okay, that’s not entirely fair – that might not be how it happened but with the way it’s written, both in style and tone, a person couldn’t be blamed that an amateur made the book. Strictly speaking, it doesn’t even really give you a real idea of how to achieve their Home Made Energy ideal, instead offering a whole tone of background information. It’s not even useful background information as it does not lead to the creation of your very own solar panel or wind based generator.

That’s not entirely accurate. They do give you some idea, but they never actually give you any information that’s truly important, like exact specifications or the like. Perhaps they thought that you, being an environmentally aware person, would be able to figure out the physics and the science with the sheer power of caring and trying to make the world a better place. This then, puts all those testimonials into a horrible light – if the e-book doesn’t even have specific instructions, those people are either lying or they’re all engineers or friends of engineers.

The thing that the author appears to have ignored is that energy is a dangerous thing. Handling electricity should be left to the experts and the experts alone. Even the most experienced people still exercise extreme caution when handling things that can kill them in a single mishap – claiming and declaring that the average layman can put something this complex together is a dangerous suggestion. Someone might actually try it and this thing suddenly costs more than fifty dollars.

Turns out it doesn’t work all that well. The worst and most terrible flaw of this e-book? It’s not even an original e-book, not by a bloody long shot. It’s original in the same way that Stephen Hawking is an acrobat. If you’ve read any other home made energy related e-book, you’ve read this one. In my opinion, it offers no new information, save for the news that you just wasted some money and some high school geek out there might be giggling over how much money they’re getting from this scam.

Are There Any Good Points?

Conceptually, sure, it looks good. The idea of building something at less than 1/6th the commercial cost in parts sounds great. It even pays for itself after some time, making the e-book look a lot more appealing that most other e-books. However, it’s hard to figure out whether or not that was truly the intended idea or if the author was merely throwing out ideas so people would buy his new Xbox 360 for him.

Granted, it’s a fantastic idea. Scarcity isn’t a real problem, not when you look at the numbers, not when you’re not trying to scare up some votes. Not right now anyway, but eventually, after a long time, scarcity will become a real issue and extinction becomes the real deal. Developing methods of extending the planet’s lifetime, perhaps even making it immortal in a sense, is a great cause to look to.

This isn’t the way to do it. It actually is appalling how terrible this is, especially considering the cause that it’s screwing over. If you want something to look bad or if you want people to laugh at a particular cause, take your cue from the Home Made Energy e-book. This is how you set back a cause fifty years, with e-books that confuse the average human being.

The only thing that this Home Made Energy review will say is absolutely good about this thing is the fact that it has a sixty day money back guarantee. If you dare, buy it through Paypal as they can enforce this particular benefit and if you think like I do, you’ll want that money back. Another good point for the Home Made Energy e-book? It’s surprisingly easy to find the same information online. If you want to learn the same thing without spending fifty dollars, you can go to Wikipedia or heck, do a simple Google search and you’ll find all the answers you need. That’s a good thing, right?

Power Through

If anything, the point of the book seems to be to delay you’re realizing that it’s pointless until the sixty day money back guarantee is up. This Home Made Energy review may seem harsh, but crap like this needs to be exposed. People shouldn’t be allowed to trick others into buying into an idea that the average sixth grader would be able to see past. The environment is serious business – sure, we can make jokes and post-apocalyptica is definitely one of the more interesting genres out there, but it’s not something people should scam with and yet, here we are.

There are words to describe the Home Made Energy E-book. Incomplete. Confusing. Over hyped. It’s one thing to sell an idea that doesn’t have any backing, it’s quite another to rip off a bunch of e-books, sell it at fifty bucks. It takes real talent and guts to try a stunt like this. Of course, people wouldn’t praise a guy for finding clever ways ram his own fist into his bum and people probably shouldn’t praise the maker of this environmental travesty.

The bottom line is, Joe Sweatsock shouldn’t be able to build something that can power a house. That’s a lot of electricity running around and a lot of engineering. Is it possible to build a wind-based or solar-based generator for around two hundred dollars? Time will tell. Does Home Made Energy really work? Maybe. Is it worth the risk to your health and home? That’s for you to decide but I’m saying no!
