Who wouldn’t love free electricity? I would love to live completely off-the-grid and not have to worry about the rising electricity costs. It would also be a nice feeling to know that if the SHTF one day, we would still have power… Water turbine generators can be built at home with minimal materials. Moving water is the prime driving force to turn the turbine and generate electricity. 

If you don’t need electricity you can then adapt the water wheel to what you might find useful – to grind grain, to cut wood, to sharpen your tools. Whatever you choose to use it for, a water wheel can be a pretty vital installation when living off the grid or when SHTF! Check this article – it also includes videos – click the link below!
