Hydroelectric Concept
Who said that the Sun, wind, and water cannot make us money? The sun alone makes me more than 1000 dollars per year for the rest of my life. You can see details here http://www.helium.com/items/2085726-energy-save-mone y-renewable-facts-finance-cheap-alternating-current- direct-current on how the sun makes me free money every year! The different types of renewable energy which can make us the most money are not limited to the sun, wind or water. In fact, cost savings for my water bill is around 200 dollars per year! This type of renewable energy is called hydroelectric! The most common method of using hydroelectric energy is from water in a hydroelectric dam, where water coming down through an area causes built-in turbines to rotate and the energy produced is captured to run a systems generator.
Unfortunately, there is not a dam in my back yard. However, there are toilets in my home that are flushed several times per day and thousands of times per year! Running water is a key concept behind saving me money during an economic crisis. A miniature turbine is installed on each toilet system for a fraction of the money saved every year. Water runs in a downward motion each time the water is flushed resulting in a gravitational motion to produce electricity via a turbine. The turbine spins rapidly and does not stop until 15 seconds have elapsed from the final moment water passed through it. This action is what saves me money and is a little known method of renewable energy.
Costs
The most substantial money maker in my household is the Sun’s natural light. You can see exactly how this process works by visiting here http://www.helium.com/items/2084980-uses-and-costs-f or-solar-power-renewable-energy-home. Water accounts for the 5th best way to make or save money throughout the year. Hydroelectric turbine generators designed to be 12, 24 or 48 volt battery chargers are strategically placed within the vicinity of the toilet water system which, operates from a relatively small level of water needed to produce energy. These devices charge batteries whenever water flows and the power can be drawn from the battery as needed to operate appliances around a home. As little as 100 gallons per minute (GPM) falling 5 to 10 feet through a pipe, or 5 gallons per minute directed downwards 200 feet through a septic pipe makes me money every day for the rest of my life! Renewable energy is everywhere around us and it only takes the Sun, Wind, or Water to make us the money we need and deserve!

When you think about it, with the exception of tidal power, all types of renewable energy are actually a form of solar power.
Renewable energy is simply any energy source that can be replaced. Trees are a renewable energy source because you can plant
