Q:I know a train runs on an electric engine powered by a diesel generator. Would something like this be feasible for cars?

running a small engine to power an electric motor? yeah, that'd be feasible. not sure how effective it would be. i'd need to do some research before i could even guess

Q:If I am living alone in a studio. Any help appreciated :)

Hey kesha, welcome to Hawaii, ok? So, lectricity very spensive hea Hawaii, main reason gonna be that we generate with Diesel Generator, which cost lot, ok? Now some wind generator hea, but sad thing is, it MORE SPENSIVE than Diesel, hard to believe, but true, ok? Also, few months ago supplier of diesel for generators try to get state to allow import of Palm Oil, for use inna generators, but all greenie/whale hugger/sierra club idiots stop that cause they say palm oil production cause rainforest to go away, ok? Stupid people, I say, it would have cut cost of diesel in HALF, but would require replacement and modification of some of the diesel engine, but still cost less for people, but not gonna happen now, ok? Most of residential property hea, like studio apartment, gonna have they own meter, and cost per Kilowatt hour round $.35, ok? Now that not sound like too much, cept that if you compare to otha place, like for instance LA, they pay bout $.15, for same amount, ok? Or, place like Las Vegas, they pay bout $.08 per KWhour, ok? So, you can see gonna add up inna hurry, specially if you use lectric to heat water, cook, clean, a/c, which gonna be normal for lotta place hea, specially on Oahu, yeah? So, lotta people I talk to pay 100 to 120/ month for lectric, but you can save some money too, by not leave no lite on, take cool/warm and very short shower, ( if you use lectric water heater), not use A/C, eva cept onna really hot day, use sweeper rather than vacuum, keep fridge on higher setting, you can maybe get it down to 50, 60 buck a month, ok? Hope this help, peace and aloha to you!

Q:I need a silent diesel generator of power capacity of 25 kW, i am going for the following brands(suggest something)1. Jackson Cummins2. Mahindra powerol3. Kirloskar

i have seen Kirloskar unit in an office complex. Seems to be good. No idea about the other two brands.

Q:I thought I had found a great place to rent but after reading reviews I found out they charge extra rent monthly for pets and the noise is bad being next to the AFB. Additionally some residents complained that their electric bills were 800 a month. I expected high, but that seems higher than anything else I have read by other people who live there. Can anyone give me an idea of where would be ideal to look for rentals? I have a middle school and a high school aged kids and two small pets. I don't want to live in a dump and our rental budget is about 2000 a month. Any advice regarding location is greatly appreciated!

What part of the island will offer the lowest electric bills? Your funny, there is no part unless its some where you don't have any electric power.

Q:I have a diesel truck as well as a 25,000 watt diesel standby generator for my home. I'm curious if they will be affected should a solar flare zap us. I'm not too well versed in the whole solar storm issue.

looking at a worst case scenario. not until you run out of fuel and there's no power at the filling station to pump your diesel out of the ground tank into yoursTHEN it might be a problem.getcha a hand pump and long hose

Q:A new facility is having a problem with getting power supply, is it safe to run the entire facility (including AC/Ref systems) using a diesel generator? is the power quality guaranteed (considering good quality generator) since that suppliers of AC/Ref systems claimed that this facility would lose the warranty in case of using a generator. Thanks in advance.

What is an AC/Ref system ? Please define unusual abbreviations. Power quality depends on the specifications of the generator. But I doubt they would be as good as that supplied by the power company. Bottom line, if the suppliers of this equipment say you will lose your warranty, then you will, unless you resort to a lawsuit. .

Q:I bought an old moving truck that I only want for storage. It will be parked on my off grid property. I would like to rig it to run a generator that could charge up a large bank of batteries for when my solar isn't collecting enough power. I know it can be done but I'm curious first, how to do it, and second, if it's worth doing? Thank you very much for your input.

For emergency and the occasional deep cell charge up, yeah why not. You could either use the alternator that came with it, and maybe add a few more, or head down to Harbor freight and buy a 10kv generator ($350)and hook it up to the back side of that 7.2 using a few parts from behind the Grainger parts counter. However, if this is a 7.3 Ford(International) motor we're talking about. You're better off selling it for parts and buying a brand new Honda or Onan generator. Those international motors are a headache.

Q:I have to calculate the fuel consumption of a diesel generator given its HP or KVA

Go to some diesel engine websites. They should have the fuel consumption in terms of brake horsepower hours.

Q:I want to purchase a solar powered backup generator in the event that we have a power outage. I don't want a gas/diesel generator as I don't want to have to fight everyone else to get gas for a generator. I've been only able to find one solar generator that would seem to work for my home. Any suggestions?

Q:about diesel generator

In water cooled Diesel Generators.The diesel enginee is cooled by water and in Air cooled diesel generators enginee is cooled by air.In water cooled, water is circulated around diesel enginee the heated water is cooled by radiator.And in air cooled Pistonblock is in direct contact with air pistonblock has fin or groves to increase surface area for better heat exchange.
