Lesson 1: Introduction from Instructor

Welcome to Eco-Bini’s Complimentary Online Course on fREe Energy Systems

   

Hello! I’m thrilled to guide you through an insightful exploration of energy generation systems, with a special focus on fREe energy (a playful nod to the concept of Free Energy scams).

My journey into the world of energy installations began in 1988 at the University of Stellenbosch, where I pursued a degree in mechanical engineering. I was fortunate to receive an Eskom Bursary (Utility Power), which initially puzzled me—why would a mechanical engineer need to delve into electrical engineering?

I soon discovered that power stations are predominantly mechanical, consisting of 90% mechanical components, 8% electronics, and only 2% electrical components.

As a citizen of South Africa, I ask for your understanding amidst the ongoing energy crisis that has deeply affected our nation, known as ‘Loadshedding’. This crisis, which I will outline in the following pages, extends beyond our borders and serves as a global cautionary tale.

Despite the challenges, I remain optimistic that wise and pragmatic minds will emerge to address this critical issue, overcoming the obstacles that have hindered progress.
