Q:I have an old generator that the motor doesn't run. I want to salvage the generator head and make something like a wind, steam, or bio diesel generator I haven't made my mind up yet. But for now I need to dismantle the head from the motor. I think it has some kind of a ratio box on it too I'm not sure I've never done this before. I sure would appreciate any help!

The generator end should unbolt, followed by the stator. Remove everything you can and all that should remain is the rotor attached to the engine crank shaft.

Q:I know they are more expensive.

Yes. But they also burn much hotter in the SOFC.

Q:creating steam turbines that can run on ANYTHING to power the electric generators in modern engines?

Check the facts on bio diesel. It is very close to the original fuel Diesel used to run his engine. People think diesel is bad for the environment, but the facts are that it is a cleaner fuel than gas with the exceptions of the particle emissions, ie soot. Diesel is the scum fuel or the first processing of crude oil to usable oil. There are many diesel electric cars in Europe, which has tougher standards for most countries that in the US. It boils down to political. Big oil does not want you using a cheaper fuel so they can continue to make massive profits. Bio on a train would be very useful, as well as bio for most of the big rigs. Better fuel economy, power, and emissions. But that means planting more for fuel than food, and that also is political as we sell to and feed most of the 3rd world. Sorry its a big political sham, that's why I am going bio this year and converting waste vegi oil.

Q:I don't see why I couldn't use my car's engine as a power generator. I would only need maybe 1000 watts. The car is a 1990 Ford F350 diesel.

You can buy inverters that connect to your battery that will produce 1000w Try NAPA or any large aftermarket auto sales company

Q:Diesel generator set how to put?

as far as possible to avoid the main entrance of the building, elevation and other parts, so as not to exhaust, smoke on its impact

Q:What type of diesel engine diesel

Ambient temperature above 0 degrees with 0# diesel.

Q:Does one gas power station make a lot of energy? Or would you need more than one of them? :D X

One power station will have many gas turbines and generators. This depend upon the availability of gas,power consumption in that area,pollution problems etc.

Q:I want to build a diesel engine driven generator. The type of gen I have is asynchron, 400/690 V, 7,5 kW, 9,4 kVA and I was told that I need to stimulate it with capacitors (the unit is supposed to work without connection to a public netstand-aloneisland-service). Who can give me instructions how to do the el. part, size/type of capacitors etc?

Because it lacks a separate field circuit, an induction generator cannot produce reactive power. In fact, it consumes reactive power, and an external source of reactive power must be connected to it at all times [1]. So you are right that you will need a three-phase capacitor bank at the output terminals (delta-connected). How to size the capacitors? That depends on a few things. Namely what kind of loads are going to be attached to it. I presume this is going to be an emergency generator operating alone (most induction generators are used this way nowadays). In that case, your capacitor bank will need to account for the generator consuming reactive power and the loads consuming reactive power. So, if you know what you are going to connect to the generator, figure up an estimate of the total reactive power of your loads. Then estimate how much reactive power your generator consumes (not sure how to do this; maybe estimate from your 7.5kW and 9.4kVA ratings?). Finally, to size your capacitors equate the total power consumed by gen and loads to this formula: estimated_3phase_power_consumed 3*(line-to-line_volt)^2/X where X 1/(2*pi*freq*C) Solve for C and there you go. My source indicates that the output voltage for an induction generator can vary quite a bit with varying inductive load, so bear that in mind and maybe oversize the caps a bit. Also, the types of capacitors should be able to withstand AC obviously and be rated within your expected operating temp, etc, etc. Good luck.

Q:I Live way out in the country and have a diesel generator.I want to switch to nuclear because it could be cheaper. I have plenty of land to dispose of any nuclear waste.

Get an old radiator and lots of copper tubing, plenty of sugar, Oh, wait a minute, thats my still, to build nuclear the nuts and bolts of the thing in question is hard to explain, like a big ball of wax, I would have to show you how to make your sti.Nuclear reactor. OH, HELL, HERE COMES THE REVENUERS, NOW LOOK AT WHAT YOU MADE ME DO, WHAT WAS IT YOU WERE TRYING TO BUILD AGAIN?

Q:avr is automatic voltage regulator for power generators

If you mean the build-in pcb of a fuel/diesel generator which build-up voltage initially and then keep it stable under any load, then read this: First you need to see your generator minimum requirements to determine specs of AVR. You will probably found a label on generator with those Information: Ex. volt (maximum excitation voltage) Ex. amp (maximum excitation amperage) Your AVR output must exceed those specs. If generator is brushless type in most cases it does. Also input voltage of AVR must be the same as output of generator (ex. 110V110V, 220V220V). If generator is triple phase then you can do the same (ex. 380V380V, 440V440V) but if generator have output in star formation then you can use node for a smaller voltage of AVR (ex. 380V220V, 440V253V). If generator work in parallel operation (usually marine main generators does) then things get complicated. In this case AVR is good to support current transformer to make generator more elastic under load fluctuations and match other generators in the same circuit.
