I don't think I've ever thought about it this way! So, these power companies are being paid to harvest and generate energy for their customers. What would happen if everyone who owned their home, or even rented one built something that could safely harvest power for their homes? How much would be involved in doing it safely? I have family who work in this field and it seems like there is a lot to consider when it comes to generating and handling electricity safely. I'd love to see how your dad did it! Sounds really amazing!

@SusanK359: I think the power companies would have to find a new way to make money if we all did this. :) Unfortunately my dad took his machine to a machine shop to help him build it. I never knew where he took it. Then he started getting lost while driving. So he could never remember where he took it. I still have some of his magnets that he was using. As far as how safe? I'm seeing more and more about free energy and how it's being used safely. My dad was a child during the depression so the need for a cheaper way was always his way of thinking. :)

That's awsome to hear about your dad's adventure in energy; thanks for sharing it with us. Your dad sounds a lot like mine was, always building something around the house or for mom. ❤️
