What? Own your own power company?
You bet! You can have electrical independence now!
If you live beyond the power lines, or just don't want to deal with the bureaucracy, constant rate-hikes or intermittent service; and if don't want to do without the luxuries that only clean, steady, 1 00/220-volt power makes possible, this is the system for you! If you need more power than can be produced by an affordable hydro-electric, solar or wind-powered system, or if you lack the possibilities of inclinations to work with these systems, this system is for you! Now in it's fourth printing, More Power To You! is your proven path to energy independence! In easy-to-understand conversational language with lots of supporting drawings, diagrams and photos, More Power To You! is intentionally as non-technical as possible, addressing the need for clear, concise and complete instructions to a specific end result: an owner-built, owner-operated power system which will deliver all it promises, without the need for the owner to be an electrical engineer. This system has been proven with years of trouble-free service for far less money that public power would have cost. Anyone can build this time-tested and proven system. Rather that offer vague and unproven theories, More Power To You! gives you the step-by-step instructions to a clear end result: an owner-built, owner-operated power-system that delivers what it promises and does it for year after year after year. We lived with our full-featured, automatic, remote-control, 24-hour-day system, running our home, office and large woodworking shop, for ten years. That's long enough to have worked out all the bugs and allow the system to evolve to one that is completely trouble free. Our equipment included all the usual electric kitchen gadgets, large and small appliances, a great stereo system, TV and VCR, a complete office with computers, printers and a copier, and the shop had a large air compressor and lots of large and small power tools. In the ten years we operated this system, we had no blackouts, no brownouts, and no rate-hikes. The total operating costs averaged out to about $25 per month.

A Review
Excerpts from a review in Backwoods Home Magazine, by Dave duffy, publisher:
"More Power To You! is about a home power system based on the efficient China Diesel Generator. We're talking about a system that produces lots of power 24 hours a day without having to run the generator full time. The total system cost is about $4000, with monthly operational costs of $25. "The book gives a step-by-step explanation of system components and how they interrelate, shows you how to taylor the system to your power needs and tells how to construct a sound-proof generator shed . . . "It explains how to install each component of your electrical system for optimum performance and ease of maintenance. The electrical section covers all aspects of connecting the generator to your house and/or shop, as well as complete details on installing a multi-station remote-control. "Also covered are diagrams and explanations for several power-management circuits. These include a special circuit to isolate your equipment from the destructive low voltages produced by a generator coming up to speed or spooling down to a stop, a circuit that makes sure your generator will never have to start under any kind of a load, and others. "It includes a chapter on maintenance, complete with trouble-shooting guide, and the Resource Guide tells you where to find every component necessary to build your system. "This is a good book. It's easy to read, full of sound information."
