Im working out the bugs on it but would it be possible to use an electrical motor to turn a generator and redistribute the power into my house therefore cutting the costs of my home power bill?

You will need an additional generater to drive the electrical motor..

Well the Generators Prime Mover or the Electrical motor can be powered by the generator itself and brought up to operating speed and everything else by an air start or manual hand crank to get it going?
No. The power into the motor will be greater than the power you get out. Both have losses.
If it was possible to do it cheaper we would all be doing it.
Yes, a hand crank is the ticket... however you'll need continual input after getting it going, perhaps and additional motor to power the additional generator?
JC
Perhaps positive feedback would offset the losses..
