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

A diesel electric train will run on biodiesel with minor or NO modification. By adding a steam turbine you will also need to add a steam boiler and all the associated plant. (and water). Then the inefficiency of transporting this weight, swings the balance back to the diesel electric. The best option is to run a purely electric train and generate the power from stationary power station. If you use biodiesel or any other fuel to generate electricity. You don't need to transport the weight of the generator, can control fluid levels better (particularly steam) and you can use better (heavier) forms of pollution control. This applies to cars also.

Q:I was also wondering what you but in them for them to work (gas, electricity etc.)

You can get generators that are powered by gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or LP gas engines.

Q:also is it probability that will damage my computer or UPS

ups will steady current, wont damage pc

Q:Can you estimate the amount each year in CA.?What are the concerns/issues related to this application.

many years ago, when Bank of America needed such, the choice was between diesel or jet turbine. the money was about the same. the needed load was better met by diesel at that time. diesel and turbine fuel storage does not run the risk of leaking. in addition, the generators are used several times a year, during periods of high demand, as requested by PGE, for which the bank gets a reduced rate on it's electricity all year round. after the Loma Prieta quake, the bank came within 6 hours of running out of fuel for the generators.

Q:HelloI am doing a question on my homework and im being asked to determine how long a tank of gas on a diesel generator would last a family if one tank produced 20kW of electricity. This family uses 2.052kWh of electricity every day. The problem i have run into is that i don't know how to determine how long tha tank can last with only those values, i have a feeling im missing something very obvious here. Any help would be great.Thanks!

Q:I have never had any interest in cars until recently when diesel engines have started to feel like important and valuable power sources moving forward.

Q:I get conflicting opinions from mechanics about extended shut-down.I am parked for 3 months and driving is not an option. Should I re-start my diesel engine weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or just wait the 3 months and re-start then? If so, should I just restart as normal?I do know when I re-start, I must wait until normal temperture is reached prior to shut down, this could take 20 minutes or longer with the rear mounted engine. The radiator covered from the outside will not warm-up as fast as a front mounted engine. Covering this radiator from the inside is not an option due to a shroud covering the fan.

if you are going to leave it sitting they can sit for more than a year and it will still run fine but the only question is the battery they can not stay fully charged so if not using then disconnect the positive side to the battery and when you want to use it just reconnect it this is the way i do to preserve the battery and for added protection add stabil (fuel stabilizer) to diesel if it is going to sit through the winter Edit : a battery charger is a good idea My parent's RV has a solar panel which keeps the battery fully charged but does not use the RV much 1 to 2 times a year had a stabil in it so far no problems but the generator is problematic cause it runs on gas so I had to start it every month to make sure there is no problems with it(run it for 1/2 hour) gas deteriorates faster than diesel even if it has stabil

Q: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

you could adjust the frequency to 50HZ with the aid of working the generator at a velocity decrease than 1800rpm., it incredibly is 1500 rpm. At this velocity verify the terminal voltage. The voltage could nicely be adjusted to 380 volts applying the potentiometer adjustment on the generator panel. The 220 volts could nicely be gained with the aid of applying a parallel connection assuming that the generator is wye related. incredibly, the voltage of 380 volts to independent is 219.39 volts, that's approximately 220 volts. subsequently, you won't could desire to reconnect the generator terminals. the adaptation in P.F. won't count lots.

Q:Frequency meter

The frequency meter is used for measuring the frequency of an alternator or other equipments like variable frequency drives. It should be connected between two lines of a unit. Check for its voltage rating. The meter should be rated the same as the voltage rating of the line being measured. It could be used also for vhf and uhf frequency, digital or analog. So depending on your application, you have to specify its frequency range and voltage rating.

Q:fuel oil operated generator (called also heavy oil) can be a dual fuel engine e.g. fuel oil w diesel backup.engine only or a generator set.generator 150~250 Kvaif engine only: 200~300 HPused in working condition

What the heck is the question?!
