Many electronic devices are rated at 12V DC, and this will cut down on the loss from the conversion to AC and back again. Those that aren't can have a simple voltage step-down circuit made.This might not work for appliances (esp. kitchen ones), unless they were specifically designed to work with DC. Might be possible to have an on-demand AC plug as well.

That's why I've been working on a magnet generator. I've seen alot of prototypes and some look very good. I'm working on making my own. I've got along way to go.

There reason is that the local goverment owns water rights. And the harvest from deep wells. So they have made it against the law. However noone has so far received a ticket.
