Electric Generators- Have Transformed The Life Of Remote Areas

Necessity is the mother of all inventions.. Man realised the need of power much earlier as without energy there would be nothing, no movement, no light, no heat, no you ,no me nothing. Todays generators are a result of the discovery by Michael Faraday, an English physicist who first discovered that rotary mechanical power could be converted into electric power in the 1830s. He is the man behind the principle of electromagnetic induction and he built the first electromagnetic generator called the Faraday disc, a homopolar generator in which a copper disc was rotated between the poles of a magnet. Soon after his invention in 1879, Thomas Alva Edison invented the light bulb.

Today electricity has integrated in our life in such a manner that we cant imagine life without it. If electricity goes for a few hours life comes to standstill. I am in mountain region and electricity has changed the life of our region dramatically. A few years before some of our remote areas were totally cut off or inaccessible from the main cities without electricity. Homes were built in valleys instead of hilltops because of heating and cooling. There were no air conditioners or fans to create the perfect breeze on a hot summer and to reprieve from the strong winter winds. With the coming of generators, the things have changed now homes have been built on the hilltops as well. Earlier there were no sources of entertainment and only on certain occasions the families gather for music and dance. With the coming of generators now we can enjoy instant entertainment sources such as movies, televisions, CD payers, and computers.

Supplying electricity from the main national grid to remote areas is not an economically feasible option. The installation of electric generators in these areas is an ideal solution to meet domestic needs and also high-energy requirements. Electric power generator is a low cost option of power in such regions.

These electric generators are durable source of power and versatile in use. They can be used in lighting, irrigation pumping, cottage industries, and rural processing facilities. In remote areas generators are viable alternatives to land-based fixed power generation plants in mining and offshore drilling projects.

There are several other uses of generators. These serve as one of the most efficient backup power systems in the event of power failures to prevent loss of data and to enable business continuity. A few hours of power failure can bring a great loss to the businesses. These power generators ensure round-the-clock power supply not only in remote locations but also in the event of a grid failure. The use of generators enhances the indoor air quality as availability of electricity reduces dependence on polluting fuel sources such as coal or gas. It also reduces the fire hazards.

Now we can never think of laundry without electricity. Carrying water from the spring, or drawing enough water from the hand-dug water well are the talks of past now. So these electric and power generators have transformed the life of remote areas.
