Adjacent to the turbine shaft, the generator contains a stationary wire. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When the magnet in the turbine rotates, the electrons in the wire are pushed back and forth by the magnetic field, causing waves of alternating current (AC) in the wire.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">LED lightbulbs can save the most energy of all light bulbs. In the USA, LED may require a large initial capital investment, costing 4 times or more that of regular incandescent bulbs. Did you know that LED lightbulbs are available for ultra-low cost from China, as a direct import?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of the best topics of understanding energy efficiency is that of light bulbs. Consider the following graph, excerpted from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=science+energy+schottenbauer" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">The Science of Energy Efficiency</a>, available from <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/schottenbauerpublishing/" target="_blank">Schottenbauer Publishing</a>.</span></div>
