Zero Energy Home - 12 Brilliant and Affordable Technology Innovations! 48

Welcome to our Zero Energy Home on Mount Etna! In this video, I’ll take you through 12 innovative technologies (you can realise them yourself) that make sustainable living not only possible but incredibly efficient. Join me as I explore cutting-edge solutions in the list below, all designed to optimize energy production and use for less money and enhance comfort. Remember, these are only 12 introductions: each of them points to 35 earlier made videos that explain it in detail. They are in a dedicated playlist to find them easily:

Here's what you’ll learn:
- Thermal Energy Storage (TES): Captures excess heat and cold for later use, I use it (with a heat pump) as an alternative to the expensive batteries.
- Vaporative Cooler: Uses evaporation to cool air, perfect for the warm, dry Sicilian climate. It has an extreme low consumption of energy.
- Wood Stove: Provides renewable, cost-effective heating and cooking with a cozy ambiance.
- PV + Batteries: Harnesses solar power and stores it efficiently for energy self-sufficiency.
- Swimming Pool Heat Pump: I apply it in a completely different way, using not only the heat but also the cooling → Double efficiency!
- Thermosolar Collector: Heats water using solar energy, I use it in series with an electric water heater to have less losses and faster supply.
- Battery Charger = Laboratory Power Supply (LPS): My one for all alternative of so many expensive dedicated chargers of lithium and other batteries.
- Biogas: Converts organic waste into not smelling renewable energy for cooking.
- Dimmed Lamp Tile, SuperLEDs, and Walking Lamps: Innovative, beatuiful energy-saving lighting solutions.
- Three different anti-Blackout System for different budgets and circumstances: Provides Security of Supply (SOS!) during grid outages.
- Bonus: Hydrogen and Wind: I show a model that you can buy or realise so that you can start to learn...and prepare.
These technologies are making our home a model of sustainability and efficiency. For more insights on sustainable living and energy innovation, don’t forget to subscribe!
I am very motivated to start the Energy Transition from the folks up, only that will boost the move in time to a save Planet! Together, we can lead the change towards a sustainable future.

That's a new efficient system you created there 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thanks Hamza!

Yesterday I was thinking about heat pump clothes drying. : )

[@nnvasen-good-energy]

Did you see the linked video? If you have a mobile airco, direct the warm air to the laundry and put it in air dry mode. Then it dries even better than a dedicated air dehumidifier.

[@Theoverthinker81]

Have you considered:
1. Solar geothermal in the garden.
2. Wind trap turbines with the roof shape
3. Compost water heating.
4. Gravity micro water turbine from the roof.
5. Concentrated micro solar thermal for heat and power?

[@nnvasen-good-energy]

Hi Overthinker, you really honour your name !😅
I find your ideas intriguing and copy them to my video todo list. One question about gravity of water at the roof: doo you mean the pressure of the grid or rain water gravity? I must say that at our place on Mount Etna the pressure is really high (though lacking each night in summer) so that it would really be recovery of municipal energy that is wasted anyway. I will make some calculations because in general I am a bit critical about gravity energy, considering the small values that are usually coming out of the formula m x g x h. However, it is a very practical solution for many Italians, which have a water storage that is non functional during a black out, because it depends on electrical energy. So: no power = no water. What a pity. There the gravity energy of item 4 is briljant.

@@nnvasen-good-energy looking at your house from the screenshot it looked quite high. I thought about channeling the rainwater down to a small generator. it's an extra layer of geekness, I did this using an old bike dynamo to test the concept. Plenty of disadvantages but it was free and it worked on my small house.

[@nnvasen-good-energy]

I think it is good to try new things out, even if it has disadvantages! It means having fun in these activities.
Regarding our house, it's indeed at 800 meters height, on the slopes of the volcano Etna, but first we have very little rain, especially this year, and even if it is in the mountains you would like some pressure, so you would need to let it enter some duct at a higher point and still better to build a container at that entry point, the equivalent of a hydropower lake to have constant power.

@@nnvasen-good-energy I love renewable energy, and I'm glad I found your channel. The experimenting I do is invaluable when it comes to learning lessons doing something practical. I know you understand this :0). I'm working on a parabolic heat and power system. Hopefully, using waster in a focus lens will make the PV panels several hundred times more efficient. Anyway, good luck and I'll keep watching.
