Q:hi i am looking for a generator to provide roughly 25kv for home use. roughly the need is4-5 1.5 ton ac3 fridge3 lcd 32-60 inch6 fansa15-20 lights2-3 computer/laptopmultimedia system2 water pumpssome additional usual house requirementswhat option do have on the basis of following:initial costdiesel / petrol / natural gassizenoise leveloperating costoverall efficiencyi personally like HONDA, but they have only 6.5kv available in pertol/gasi want to avoid diesel due to cost and bad fumesin petrol i can make it convertable to gas as wellbut people guide me that if i go in 25kv than the option is only for diesel.pls guide me.imran.

One other consideration for your generator is the natural gas has less power in the range of 25% If you need 7.5 KW and it is natural gas then the generator needs to be a 10KW unit. Diesel is quite reliable but storage of fuel is a concern, for petrol also. I suggest you contact a local electrical contractor who specializes in home generator installations. 25 KW is about the smallest for your needs. 40 is probably a better choice. All in all they are not cheap.

Q:I was thinking about buying used car batteries from the junk yard and connecting them with jumper cables then testing the connected batteries with a battery tester to see how many volts it has. I havent tried this yet so I dont know if it will work do you guys have any idea on how to make a generator so I wont have to pay for power

You can re-design you house to run with 12 volts DC power: 1. Build a 12 volts battery bank,100000 AH or more.Connect 100 pieces of battery in parallel. Each battery requires a high current blocking diode at 100 amperes. 2.Change all the light bulbs into 12 volts. 3.You cannot use any electric appliances that run with 115 volts AC power. Like desktop computer,but you can replacing it with laptop computer that running on 12 volts DC. 4.Replace all appliances that able to run with 12 volts DC. They are existed in the market and they were designed for camping purpose. 5.Make a huge solar panel to recharge the battery bank. 6.You can feed the 12 volts home make power source to the AC panel to save some wiring.

Q:I recently purchased a portable generator that is 7 hp and 3050 continuous watts, i tried to calculate the efficiency as follows:743 watts 1 hp7 X 743 5201 watts, (so at 100 percent efficiency, 5201 watts is possible to produce from a 7 hp generator.)the unit produces 3050 watts, so the 5201 watts (possible watts)/3050(actually produced watts) (0.5864) or approximately 59% efficiency, this does not seem right, it should be about half that.What am i doing wrong?

First, nothing operates at 100% efficiency. You are converting angular rotation into electric power and in any conversion of power, you lose efficiency. 59% efficiency isn't that bad. Second, generators are measured at continuous power and peak power. Check your owners manual or look on the side of the generator. At peak power, you will find that the efficiency is greater.

Q:Diesel generator set how to put?

should not be located in the toilet and bathroom or other places are often the water below and adjacent;

Q:I built my own, verry successfull HHO gas generator and I want to inject the gas being produced, strait into my car engine but the flame keeps going back into my hose, i have going strait into the air intake carb, and blowing up my generator! I built a little flashback arrestor with gas piping filled with aquarium airstones and that obviously didn't work. Where can i buy a professional industrial flashback arrestor so I don't have to make my own?

Sorry you can't!

Q:I have a generator overseas and it has been giving me problems. It ran for 7 days, died due to over heat. fixed that prob, now it wont start, gives me a code 0097 01, water in fuel. but the sensor is good, wires read good. At a brick wall here.

I looked online and this company makes everything from small gas driven to large diesel driven. You say the code is for water in the fuel and if it's diesel water would ruin the injectors so it very well could not allow it to start for that reason. At a minion you need to tell us a little more. Did it shut its self down for the over heat or did it size and shut down? that is a good point to start with.

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.

Nuclear reactor power plant. Stationary exercycles. Water wheel in underground river. Steam boiler fired by coal or natural gas. Fuel cell.

Q:How much is the waste of the power that may be lost in the combination of two engine and where I can find the diagram that shows the relation between rpm and HP in the combined two diesel engine.this two engine combined with a clutch that synchronize two engine for two input in gears and single output.

It's best to connect them at the crank so that they can be timed to fire in a manner that your getting the most amount of power you can. This has been done in applications as small as a .12cc engine all the way up to huge engines that power large ships. The most common place I used to see it is with gas engines for tractor pull. The engines do sync up and will run together when you pair them up thru a clutch

Q:Fanks for answering!

Advantages: does not release greenhouse gases, requires little fuel, fuel source is extremely abundant (there is more energy in recoverable and fertile thorium that in all other source of energy combined, except for hydrogen fusion, which we do not know how to do yet) Disadvantage: delicate to implement, can be missused to produce nuclear weapons components, leaves radioactive waste that remain radioactive for centuries and millenias, scares people and is thus costly to build because of all the multiple redundancy safety systems. You're felcome

Q:Hi. I need to buy a diesel generator to run my house on. We have to run at least 3 ACs at a time. The ACs consume roughly 1500W with a surge power of 4500W.Here's my question. If I get a 12KW rated generator, does that mean that each phase can only handle 4000 KW, therefore not even enough to start an AC? i was given this formula by a sales man KVASQRT3 X V X iCan you shed some light on this problem?Greetings from Iran

Is the house wired 3 phase or split phase or single phase? Very few houses are wired for 3 phase power. Iran uses 230/240 VAC 50Hz So from that, you need a single phase 240 VAC 50 Hz generator. A 12 kW generator at 240 volts would supply 50 amps. I'd run that to a breaker panel (if you don't already have one) and then run 10 amp lines with a 10 amp breaker to each AC. That leaves you with quite a few amps to run other appliances. You got off on a 3 phase tangent for some reason you aren't telling, but I don't think that is the way you want to go. hope that helps. .
