Q:hi , can anyone give me the DG a,b,c,d checks details and schedule like a chart or something

Hi It is the same as a gas engine to maintain. Except for the fuel has to be water free. There will be a bowl some where to empty the water. Changing the oil etc. depends on how much you use it.

Q:i have a 7.5 onam diesel generator that runs for 15 min and shuts down i get a code 33 (overheating)I change coolant,cap and thermostat also checked air flow Still no luck.any ideas anyone

The onan fault code 33 is high engine coolant temperature fault

Q:I know that when a coil is moved between magnets, it produces electricity. how does a generator work without magnets ?one more thing I want to know, what makes the generator turn on when the light go out ?

The magnet is anothera coil

Q:I have a small one bed one bath home probably not over 1000ft what size portable honda generator should I buy?

The generac web site gives some good starting information. Make a list of what you must power with the unit. Add what you would like to run with it in addition to the first list. When purchasing the unit it is better to have a unit larger than your figures suggest rather than the exact size or too small. Honda units are reliable and quiet, also they are gasoline powered while some other brands are LPG or natural gas or diesel. Each fuel type has advantages and disadvantages. For an emergency portable power source a 7.5KW unit will do for most homes. For a back up power unit you will need at least twice that size and some other electrical equipment. Many motor homes have generators between 5 and 10 KW. Good luck to you.

Q:Hi everybody. well I buyed a welding machine, and I need a portable generator for use the welding machine, but I dont know the generator capacity to use it, if the welding machine is 50 to 250 amps, but I just use from 100 to 200 amps, Can I use a 6000 watss Generator? or I need more power?

About 15KW is needed to run a welder. Preferable is a diesel drive unit. Read the label plate on the welder, it will give the maximum draw needed for the supply side. Double that for the generator rating needed.

Q:If you were talking on the phone to someone and dropped the phone into a bathtub filled with water would they get electrocuted? Does it matter if it's wireless or not?

Hold on gang.she asked if they would get shocked. Do you mean the person being spoken to by the person who dropped the phone? If so, the answer is no. A shock occurs when your body connects a source of electricity and the ground. The person you're speaking to is not in the path that the electricty takes to ground even if the devices along the wire would permit the transmission.

Q:Fanks for answering!

Advantages: We can set up breeder reactors that generate electricity as well as plutonium. This plutonium can then be used to make nuclear weapons to drop on hostile terrorist nations. Disadvantages: The whiny environmentalists that riot and protest even though they owe their existence to nuclear power as the Atomic Bomb put an end to WW2. ------------------wikipedia----------- Advantages of nuclear power plants against other mainstream energy resources are: * No greenhouse gas emissions (during normal operation) - greenhouse gases are emitted only when the Emergency Diesel Generators are tested (the processes of uranium mining and of building and decommissioning power stations produce relatively small amounts) * Does not pollute the air - zero production of dangerous and polluting gases such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, aerosols, mercury, nitrogen oxides, particulates or photochemical smog * Small solid waste generation (during normal operation) * Low fuel costs - because so little fuel is needed * Large fuel reserves - (e.g., in Canada and Australia) again, because so little fuel is needed * Nuclear Batteries - (see SSTAR) Disadvantages include: * Risk of major accidents - an example of the worst possible situation is what happened to Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (which did not have a conventional containment building) * Nuclear waste - high level radioactive waste produced can remain dangerous for thousands of years if not reprocessed. * Can help produce bombs - all designs of reactor can produce plutonium, aiding nuclear proliferation (see Magnox) * High initial costs * High energy inputs during construction (equivalent to ~7 years power output) * High maintenance costs * Security concerns * High cost of decommissioning plants * Thermal pollution (although all power plants emit thermal pollution)

Q:I have two deisel engines and two tank feeds, how can I connect the genset (4KVA) . I am conerned when the engines are idling or even running they will start the genset. I do not want to put an extra tank.Thank you

If your tank has another port on it for a fuel line that is where you hook up. If not go to the supply line at the tank and put in a T fitting and then a shut off valve for each engine. Run the supply line to the generator from that T. You will also need a return line from the generator that you can T into at the return line from the engine at the tank. Many people that convert from gas to diesels run into these same problems. Often a fitting is made up that is put in the fuel fill line to allow for the return line. The generator supply and return lines will be smaller then the engine fuel lines. Running the engines will not cause the generator to start.

Q:Hello, I am putting an HHO generator, which is metal plates in water in pvc pipe, into my small pickup truck. I am having a bit of trouble finding an EFIE unit though, which is the boy that goes in line in front of the 02 sensor, to give it a bit more juice and stop it from dumping more gas in when it thinks there is not enough air (but way too much HHO) in the system.Are there any automotive forums that you all would direct me to? And if not, are there any manufacturers of finished EFIE units, or even kits to build them, on the internet or elsewhere for me to utilize?I want to get this done before I leave for college. Gas prices suck!

Boy, don't you just feel the love around this place? Ask a simple question and someone wants to report you to the EPA. And no one sells kits? Guess that shows you what they know as several places on the web have them ready to go. Got to love it. :-) I understand what you are trying to do as I have looked in to this myself. From what I understand the biggest issue you will have with modifying the O2 sensor output (and yes technically that is illegal) is that it will only be in the ballpark around a certain rpm. The HHO generator will be putting out a constant amount of gas while your engine will be using a different amount of air and fuel based on the rpm at that moment. So how do you know if you are truly burnin right and not causing an increase in polluntants out the tailpipe? HHO sounds great but I have mixed feelings when trying to do it in a fuel injected car with an O2 sensor. Doing it to a diesel is different as they don't use an O2 sensor. I'm thinking of building a couple of the coil type for the 10 liter Cat diesel in my Ford L9000 semi truck. I think the best way to be sure you have a clean running engine when burning HHO would be a car that ran only of hydrogen in the first place. Note to Robert - I think you are compairing apples to oranges. From what I understand you are paying more for fuel due to taxes that your country adds to the sale price. The taxes they add to the fuel we pay for as a seperate tax. So there is no comparison.

Q:Im building a new house, and I would like to go totally off the grid in South-Central Oklahoma.Id like to be able to run the tv, freezer, refrigerator, and minimal lights and water well.Im looking for information on a complete system.Any ideas/? Im looking for the pros and cons of this way of life from homeowners that have actually done this.

My grandfather put 2 inches of foam board around his freezer, except for the coils- hardly goes on at all. Anything to reduce power useage is good.
