Can a generator be used in conjunction with batteries to power an electric motor for making a vehicle move? The generator(s) could be run off an axle/drive shaft of the same vehicle to extend the range from 150 miles out to maybe 500+ miles without having to stop for a recharge. If it isn't possible to power generators off the drive shaft or axle, then could a tiny diesel motor be used to run the generator. This would be used on a vehicle the size of an average family car or small pick-up

Why does my diesel household generator provide better power than my public line? When the household generator quicks on in an outage, the lights are brighter, the floor fans work better, etc.... When we are using the public utilities current, the lights are dim, the fans are slow and every time our wellpump quicks on, the lights flicker and dim more. AND, when we have the generator on automatic, it turns on every time the wellpump comes on and then shuts off shortly after the wellpump stops. We have had the current checked by public utilities here and they said the volts coming into the house are fine but the amps which should be at 125 is only 17! The utility company (we live on an island in the Caribbean) says there must be a problem both at the pole AND in the house but how can this be when we have no problems in the house when the generator is on? Also, will running our appliances and electronics with such low amp availability damage them?

Need help with my portable generator - no power output? I own a Chinese made diesel generator. 10HP, 5kW, which recently stopped putting out power. The generator "head" has three separate power outputs; 120VAC (#1) 120VAC (#2) and 12VDC for battery charging. All three ceased output simultaneously. I've tried "re-exciting" or "flashing" the alternator, which didn't do anything other than make it "knock" when it generated a magnetic field. I've been told my voltage regulator may have failed, but I have no knowledge of how the AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) on the high-voltage side may work to verify. Ideas? Thanks!

what is the deference between heavy duty diesel generator set and continuous diesel generator set and speeds? 1 want know exactly defrences between heavy duty and continuous diesel generator sets? for examle for 1250 kva diesel generator, the defrences between their speeds and injection power of 2 kind of diesel generator. heavy and continuous duty. thanks

Why don't hybrid car makers just run the gas engine to power a generator at constant speed? More efficient. An internal combustion engine runs more efficiently at constant speed. If it was run to charge the batteries when needed, via a generator, it seems to me it would be much more efficient than today's dual mode hybrids. This is essentially what diesel-electric locomotives do, and they get much better "gas mileage" than cars.

micro hydro system using diesel generator? have several question about diesel alternator. First of all i want build micro hydro system using diesel alternator. That means i just take the alternator and using water to rotate the turbine and the alternator will produce the power. Do you think this system is possible to do? Before this i use the car alternator, and the problem is before alternator connected to the battery i get about 3000 RPM, but when i connect the alternator to the battery and field current occur, the RPM dropped to 500 RPM. So the alternator can't produce the current. So i want try using diesel alternator. Since we know diesel alternator power output in AC, so no field current needed. If i get around 3000 RPM, whether diesel alternator produce the power? Or it same with car alternator.

Generator Powered Cars? Ok my question is if it is possible to run a locomotive with electric engines powered by a diesel generator why can't we do the same for cars? We already know that the 0-60 for an electric motor is better than a gasoline. This is because an electric motor can hit its top RPM much faster. So wouldn't creating this car be a substantial improvement? Also as a side note while I was in the service my MOS was in communications which require me to maintain a generator to power my shelter. That ten gallon diesel generator could run for a day without being refilled.

How do you calculate what size diesel generator is needed for a building's reserve electric supply? We manage howgillsbunkbarn.co.uk and to provide for a back up electrical supply when we start getting power downs and fuel shortages in the future, I want to know how to calculate what size diesel generator I will need to provide for most of heating, lighting and cooking facilities. Years ago, I arranged for a standby generator one Xmas for a Residential Care home with a lift and that worked except they could not use the lift due to it's larger requirement for power. This Bunk Barn sleeps 35 people in 8 en-suite rooms but is very 'Green' with all lights being low energy and underfloor heating providing economical comforts. Do I just add all potential electical wattages together?

Running multiple computers off of a generator or battery bank? Hi, I am working on a project at the moment where I will need to run 16 computers solely from generated power. I have several ideas for this, but not sure as to how I should be going about it. Basically, 16 computers, each with the same specs that I have tested with a Watt-Hour meter to only draw < 100W even running resource heavy games on max settings, yet have 400W power supplies. At work we have an UPS with 56 12v rechargeable batteries that take full load of the building when we lose mains, a diesel generator starts up when loss of power is sensed and charges the battery bank. This is the setup I want, just not so massive. Rather than have a small portable generator power all the computers (Don't think that would work would it?) I want to have an unknown amount of batteries that will run all these PCs (Don't worry about monitors and peripherals, I just care about the PCs at this time) for a decent amount of time then have the generator charge up the batteries. During the day, would have a solar array charging the batteries. Firstly, based on that figure of 16 computers with 400W power supplies, how many batteries would I need to run these computers for a few hours (noting that the maximum I have seen them draw is 100W & 320mA max) without requiring a topup from the generator & what would be the best type of battery and generator (affordable and portable) to get. I know I need an inverter, again what would the power rating need to be for that? Please, any useful information would be very much appreciated. Ash

Thanks in advance for your answers! Newt

can I produce clean water, electricity and cooling at the same time from bio-diesel or solar? This technology is called tricogeneration, but is seem as though not even money can buy it. There seems to be many false leads on the internet or there are lots of prototypes that have not hit the market yet. I have just spent $500,000.00 U.S.D on a water treatment plant and a seperate diesel generator to run a resort. I would be willing to pay much more for a more progressive system. Can some one put the components together and sell me a system that gives you distilled water, Power generation and utilizes the waste heat to produce either refrigeration and or air conditioning? The need for a bio-Diesel or solar electric generator that produces fresh water and cooling as a biproduct is crucial in most parts of the world. I have found a solar desalination plant on the internet that they produce in India but have not yet been able to buy them due to lack of responce from the web site contact (a very common thing on the internet). They are either booked, don't care or can't perform.V

what is the best way to insulate my water system for winter? we operate our own rain water catchment system, complete with water pump, pressure tank, filter system, and paloma hot water heater. Our big 4000 gallon tank is located outside, and with winter fast approaching here in southeast alaska, we need to find the best solution for insulating that intake pipe. the use of heat tape seems inevitable, but it will use a tremendous amount of power (we run a diesel generator, which proves to be very expensive)

Anybody out there using a solar heated stirling engine to generate residential electricity? I am a general contractor in Texas, I am currently designing a environmentally friendly home for myself and young family to live in. I am viewing my options on electricity generation, i.e PV with battery and invertor, bio diesel generators, solar powered stirling engine, possibly offsetting solar power with wind. I have a design for a trombe wall which will help cool the house in the summer and heat it in the winter. Solar powered H2O heaters are a no brainer, My brother in the UK has one and has an abundant amount of hot H20. The cooling system will probably encompass geo-thermal energy, again a lot of systems available, unfortunately for the masses these systems are more expensive than traditional energy sucking compressors and heat exchangers. Hopefully by the time I invest in renewable energy for my home the government will offer more than a $2000.00 TAX credit toward the investment. If so please forward me details.

Is it possible to run appliances on batteries/w AC inverter and a generator that only comes on occasionally..? I want to power a water heater, a blower fan, and a small water pump continuously with a diesel generator run on Biodiesel. Is it possible to set up a system of some deep cycle batteries that will carry the load for say 1/2 hour or 1 hour and have the generator kick on automatically when the voltage drops to charge the batteries...this way the generator will not be run continuously. What would you need to set this up? Anything besides what I have mentioned? Josh

Atlanta generator fault ? three phase down on power? Hi All, I have an atlanta 215kva generator with a big Cummins diesel Engine runs perfect at 1500 rpm The alternator only produses 210 volts between the L1 L2 L3 and only 110 between the L and neutral I have checked the alternator internals and seems to be fine I have checked all the wiring and this seems OK I have checked the AVR and this seems ok When I switch one of the AVR sensor wires to a different location on the avr board to U I get 400 volts but the engine surges and the voltage drops out and picks up again So ... do you think the AVR is at fault ? as this is an old machine and dont think I will be able to buy a replacement I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions ?? Any body know how to fix generators ?? Thats the only problem, I dont have a wiring diagram ... and its a standby generator which has the automatic mains switch over built in above the alternator, so its a load of wires and they are all black and very hard to trace I think its the AVR, as someone has just done a welding job on the box and was wondering if this would affect the circuit boards ?? I have tried to contact Atlanta by email but they havent replied as of yet I have heard in some cases you need to flash the avr ?? but is this when there is no voltage My Hz are a steady 50 until I switch off the engine and it increases to 54 ?

Could the Internet be kept alive if ALL the power went out? What if there was a catastrophe or eco-terrorists shut down total power production across the planet. Would the internet switch off and die, or like all new living organisms, would it find a way to survive through backyard diesel generators and car batteries etc?!?

Single Phase or 3 Phase Generator? Hi. I need to buy a diesel generator to run my house on. We have to run at least 3 ACs at a time. The ACs consume roughly 1500W with a surge power of 4500W. Here's my question. If I get a 12KW rated generator, does that mean that each phase can only handle 4000 KW, therefore not even enough to start an AC? On the other hand if I have a single Phase 12KW generator, I'll be able to run 3-4 ACs. So is it better to have a single Phase rather than a 3 Phase? i was given this formula by a sales man KVA=SQRT3 X V X i Can you shed some light on this problem? Greetings from Iran
