How Amish Get Electricity Without The Government

[@hackbritton3233]

I heard an Amish woman say that they reject modernization because today's luxuries become tomorrow's necessities. Wise

[@sweetsendaedreamr]

Europeans are materialistic and depend on people in the most unethical ways. Everyone else have figured out ways that don't destroy the world in order to live.

​@@kevinlawson1379🔴 Jesus was a servant of God ⚠️ 🔴 Christians and Muslims both believe in Jesus, love him, and honor him. 🔵 They are, however, divided over the question of his divinity. 🔴 Fortunately, this difference can be resolved if we refer the question to both the Bible and the Quran, because, both the Bible and the Quran teach that Jesus is not God. 👇 The Bible Denies the Divinity of Jesus 👇 { The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.} (Acts 3:13). 📚

I think she was proven right.

[@eerybuzzero9229]

It's a good start. If it's developed in the right direction, it will help you succeed. But for me, there is a way to store energy without using batteries because their lifespan is short and the cost is very high. When they expire, they are difficult to dispose of. So I use wind energy to circulate water energy, that is, use a wind turbine to pump water up and store it on a tank. When there is no wind, release the water to spin the water turbine to produce electricity. Doing this will circulate and get continuous energy without using batteries.

[@WardenWolf]

I had the similar thought of using solar to power your well pump to an elevated tank, then using it to power a turbine as it flows down to a lower tank. This would also maintain water pressure.

[@SvenShalom]

Wind is crazy inefficient (I've put up hundreds of Industrial mills) even if you actually have wind, and the water system and even more so the amount of water stored necessary to create a continuous cycle is off the chart even with an efficient charging armature. Further, LiFePO4 Lithium Batteries are 1/3 the weight as LA Batteries0 and 1000 times the cycle rate..even a cheap LiFePO4 can now last decades. Plus, batteries that were $1200 a decade ago, if you could find them, are now $150-200 to your door. Nothing is more efficient dollar for dollar than modern solar.

[@eerybuzzero9229]

​My wind turbines and generators are very efficient and very small, and can be used together with electric cars, hidden under the hood, without the need for batteries.

I'm originally from Missouri and alot of the Amish in my area are and have been going to Solar power, some are even letting the county build Solar Farms on their unusable land for Property tax breaks.

'Their barns are more sophisticated than my workshop'

[@MyNathanking]

3:26: Well, Frugal Solutions, you've taken this long to introduce the subject, so I'll cut right to the chase and say that they use ENGINE-POWERED GENERATORS for their electricity. Sometimes they even use solar panels --- with batteries and inverters, of course. Just up the road from those technological Amish grandparents I had during my childhood was a dairy farm that had its own electricity which came from a large diesel engine/generator setup outside the building. What about the milk tank's refrigeration system, you might ask? Well, that was a technological setup which involved automatically starting the generator --- on a 24/7 basis --- every time the refrigeration system kicked on. So far everything you say about the Amish in this video is right on the mark. By the way, I live in Lancaster County. I used to live in Franklin County, and there are Amish there also.

[@stuffbywoody5497]

You make a good salesman for propane and diesel outlets, not to mention the electronics stores. There are many alternatives to propane and diesel. There are a lot of informational videos on youtube and many other platforms that can help people get started.

If civilization fell apart, it would be the Amish and nomads who would survive. We can learn much from the Amish.

If i understood them correct, they are not against scientific technical progress, they are against dependence from somebody, in relation of energy, engines, vegetables, meat and much important - seeds and animal genes. And of course they are against hormonal supplements, pesticides and gerbicides, and all chemical stuff, that we are surrounded nowaday.

[@Suavache]

The issue of clean energy contributing to environmental protection is being put on top.

[@mrMacGoover]

8:37 Truth be told that most ac power tools have universal motors with carbon brushes, meaning they are Dc motors that can be run off of 12 volt car batteries, you only need to splite the male end of a extention cord open and attach the white or red to the positive terminal and the black to the negative terminal of a car battery.

[@Gee90210]

Government produces electricity??!! Not in USA 😮

[@rpvitiello]

Look at Tennessee then. The power company TVA is a government agency in that state.

[@sweetsendaedreamr]

Yep..local government ran the utilities. In some places you still have only one electric company and it's local gov owned.

[@jab376]

Tennessee Valley Authority does. Is Tennessee in USA?

[@JackAmberson]

I just found out I'm Amish I've been living off grid for a long time using propane for heat solar panels for electricity and wind generation for electricity I must be Amish

[@LearningSpanishwithDrL]

Great video!

[@kylehoover9927]

I grew up in holmes county ohio. Many natural gas generators or aleast pumps for water and things of that nature

[@MyNathanking]

14:12: Oh yes, the Amish use wind power too. That particular setup in this picture is that of a typical Amish water well pump system.

[@kennethmcdonald5278]

Show us the stick shadow way to finding the right way??

[@DaveGray-j7q]

stick shadow only is perfect for one day although each season it works well. You just stand a short stick on your panels at 12:00 mid day. if you see no vertical shadow it is perfectly in line with the sun. Of course this actually changes everyday. Mine adjust up and down so I can change them with each season. Flatter in summer, more vertical in winter.

WINDMILLS. AND SOLAR PANELS..BRING ELECTRICITY WITHOUT HARMING THE WORLD ENVIRONMENT

[@jerrytalley802]

I have solar and love it, but if anyone thinks solar is a green, non polluting form of energy, is fooling themselves. Look it up, not me saying it. Then, to really go green we need lithium batteries to store the energy. look how they mine it? It’s great technology, my bill in 2024 averaged under $7 a month, as close as I can get with net metering. I also get a report showing carbon offset per month. It averages about the equivalent of 7 trees. So, spend $24,000 for just the panels installed, or don’t cut 7 trees that would have shaded the panels. This is facts from someone that owns solar since Sept 2017, it is the greatest cash on cash investment of my life, but green it ain’t, sorry.

[@joesmith7427]

And hers too!!

[@imraec1]
