Q:Having a basic background in electric and family moving into a remote prefab home with no electric, water, or gas, I decided to help. House and work shed electric requirements are simple, totaling a possible 5kwh at a given time to the shed, and 7kwh to the home. Obviously the home will have constant electric requirements (fridge, fans, etc). I cannot imagine it is economical nor efficient to run a diesel generator 24/7 for energy production as needed. Here are my questions:1. Should I use a stand-alone or emergency backup generator.2. Should I go with the conventional wisdom of choosing a generator that operates at 80% capacity for 1005 of my needs. IE: I need exactly 12kw maximum, so a ~14kwh generator.3. Solar panels have storage batteries. Can I use 12v or 18v, or an industry specific battery to only operate the generator for several hours a day for storgae of power? I know this is incredibly inefficient, any alternatives?Any help is greatly appreciated. Just need to be pointed in the right direction.

when you are using your generator, if you have out side power turn it off. look for farms some of them have PTO generators they hook up to a tractor.

Q:Having lots of diesel fuel to make electricity (200-800KW)is it better to use a diesel generator or a steam turbine?(Remember : the only way to produce steam is burning diesel)Does anybody know how many KWh can make per 1000gal?

You cannot even run a turbine from saturated steam. The blades get eroded by the water droplets, and your turbine flys apart with a big BOOM. So you would have to buy a new boiler as well as the turbine. Then you need a condenser, feed pump, piping, controller. the list goes on and on.

Q:I have a new Onan 10k diesel generator engine and an old isuzu pickup truck not worth engine replacement cost. Can this small diesel be adapted to fit the manual transmission?

Anything is possible, but Is it practical? Probably not. Can you do all the work? I hope so, because the amount it would cost in labor to do it would be much more than rebuilding or replacing what you have now.

Q:I know about solar panels and wind turbines but either will have to be above ground. Petrol or diesel generators are to loud and fuel isn't cheap these days.

Hello Rig up an auto alternator to an exercise bike running a belt off the bike wheel to the alternator, connect ? to a couple of good 12 volt batteries (deep cycle boat batteries would be best) wired in parallel from battery to an inverter of around 500 to 750 watts this will be enough for lighting, radio, and small toaster. Now of course you will need to set up an exercise routine for running the alternator but you will keep very fit and if their is a few you can take turns and all keep very fit! If you could get more batteries and larger inverter you would be able to run a small kettle as it's only on for minutes so batteries would cope. Regards Alan

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 am writing about the affect on the economy, environment, and the health aspect.

Well there's plenty to talk about the environmentwhen you think of how many plastic bottles are used each yearyou could take about recycling patterns, effectiveness of recycling bottles, how manufacturers have made more efficient bottles, etc. As far as health something I find intriguing is the topic of harmful chemicals that come into the water you drink from the bottling plastic. A lot of it is based on limited research though, so it might not be the best topic. A more practical health aspect to talk about would be the minerals or lack thereof in bottled v. tap water.

Q:can u give me a job description power plant operator using diesel ingine

Diesel Motor turns a AC Generator. Diesel Motor turns a Water Pump, for Cooling.

Q:I want to know if i can get a 40kvh generator (witch is usually ran by 4 cylinder diesel engine) to run with a water wheel and some poulies??

Water wheels generally turn rather slowly or would fly apart and pulleys would likely be needed (large on water wheel and small at generator shaft). The generator may function well only within a specified range of RPM. Try to determine the rated speed of the generator (or determine the rated RPM of the diesel engine above idle(?) and any gearing or pulley ratios to the generator. That may indicate in advance how practical your match will be. Perhaps the generator can slowly charge a battery (with a given water supply and water wheel) but may not support full load as on the diesel engine. Work out an estimate on paper (including battery and voltage regulator?) before turning actual nuts and bolts.
