Our experience in constructing of energy and foodstuff autonomous (maximum possible) rural house

It is:

• Unboundedness - possibility to keep house's comfort without public energy.
• Hobby - eco technology and inventing.
• Collection - just interesting to have this stuff.
• And no more energy argues!

In August 2007 construction and building of the zero energy house has started in village Oreshak, situated in 12 kilometers from Varna (Bulgaria). The key element of this house is little energy requirements and production of own energy from green (sustainable) sources - like it is shown on the picture. Using renewable energy sources so that the house will be like part of the nature.

Eco project chronicle

• The origin of our ecological project
  The idea: independent lifestyle, self-directed living, autonomous household.
• "Free energy" for individual usage is an economical nonsense
  Economical effectiveness of the energy from renewable sources (sustainable energy, green energy). Photovoltaic batteries, heat solar collectors, wind devices, heat pumps, eco-fuel stoves and heaters.
• Question: To be or not to be to the individual use of "Free energy"
  Alternative energy should be economically profitable for us, and not only for energy saving commercial or industrial enterprises
• Sustainable energy usage and home-made energy system for concentration, transmutation, storage of energy.
  Material base for house energy system
  We have planned to use ready materials and construction elements, some devices and to adapt them
• The general problem of the autonomous house providing with energy from the renewable sources
  Wind, solar, thermal energies are inconstancy. For the autonomous house the energy is necessary in the concrete time and in the concrete quantity.
• Lets add a little bit bionics into the energy system of autonomous house
  Our autonomous house energy system must to be the omnivorous system.
• High temperature heat energy is not always necessary for house heating and other household needs
  Country house needs is not only water at boiling point. Energy for home needs and its satisfaction via heat-storage battery of heat accumulators.
• Problems with supplying of the autonomous house with energy from the renewable sources: Solar collector inefficiency
  Economical using of solar energy: solar heat collector faults. The honest designers of the house heating systems say, that solar heat collectors only help in heating and economize bio-fuel.
• Problems with the autonomous house powering with energy from the renewable sources: Wind turbines and wind kinetic energy utilisation problems
  The main problem of "helicopter-type" wind turbines is high price of working area. But ours sail wind machine has low cost work area and economically predestines for wind speed from 2-3 metre per second.

Economical eco building and engineering

• "Free energy" from renewable sources.
  Accessible energy on (in and upon) our land. Calculation.
• Environmental resources and requirements of autonomous house
  Our opinion about individual use of energy from renewable sources.
• Design of the individual radiant water heating system for one-floor house
  Construction of the autonomous heating system: stove with water boiler; panel radiators; gravitation circulation of water (without water circulation pump).
• Scheme of the universal heat pump system powered by thermal, solar and wind energy
  The universal heat pump extracts heat energy from outdoor sources as ground and water, air; hot gases from stovepipes and other low temperature energy sources; from sunlight and wind.
• Underground heat accumulator construction
  Water heat accumulator design for economical house heating. Heat capacity calculation.
• Light effectiveness of photosynthesis and economical lighting for plants
  Photosynthetically active radiation curve (PAR). Hypothesis: photosynthesis was adapted to radiant energy of the red light, to feeble sunlight in conditions of the ancient heavy atmosphere. Practice: Lighting for plants by red ultra-bright LEDs (ultra bright light emitting diodes).
• Thrifty lighting for seed plot
  Electrical scheme for the lighting by continuous non-pulse direct red light.
