Q:If i had a remote alaskan town of 1000 residents, how much power would I need to generate to run the whole town. Would a diesel generator work?

How much power do they consume? How big is your diesel generator? A big enough diesel generator might as well be a power plant. A town full of Alaskan natives aren't going to use as much power as say, a town full of Americans.

Q:I am planning to buy a 20 KVA Diesel Generator. Both the vendors are confusing me over Air cooled and Liquid cooled engines. Can anyone help me to understand the pros and cons of the said engines for a commercial requirement.

Air cooled is simpler and cheaper. Water cooled can be longer lasting. If you planned on waste heat recovery , water cooled would make that easier.

Q:I am thinking about installing solar panels on my roof and I am just wondering if it will be possible to completely get my house off the grid. I live in the state of Missouri. I am thinking to buy a house in Florida also and I want to install solar panels on that house if I ever buy it. How many KW will it take lets say for an average 3-4 BDRM?

you might consider going of the grit including geothermal cooling maybe heating (we have heating) since it gets warm there sometimes (so i hear) - this will bring your electric use up again, we doubled ours to ~1400 kwh/month or better depending on the weather, cooling uses less energy with geothermal. regarding solar, keep an eye on solar pv and new developments in the near future

Q:a factory open 8.00 am to 4.00 pm and using 80kWh der day or 10000 w electricity in a given time it generate electricity by a diesel generator. is it possible to use a small diesel generator to generate enough power to run a motor and connect that motor to large power generator to generate whole electricity need for factory

A factory operating from 8 am to 4 pm uses 80kWh or 10000w of electricity per day generated by diesel. It is possible to use a small diesel generator to generate enough power to run a motor. If that motor is connected to a large power generator, it will generate enough electricity to power the entire factory.

Q:I know that when a coil is moved between magnets, it produces electricity. how does a generator work without magnets ?one more thing I want to know, what makes the generator turn on when the light go out ?

The magnet is anothera coil

Q:And this person said it also all depends on what PLANT the stuff came from. No wonder the asian kids are ahead of us.

If it's a diesel generator, why could it not run on BioDiesel? Not sure about the plant part, but provided it's not unleaded, I see no reason to not consider Bio as an option.

Q:Cummins diesel engine QSX15G8 timing

ITS ESSY

Q:Why not samoto diesel generator power

the magnetic pole of the generator loses its magnetism.

Q:Everyday I learn a little more about boating. I have asked a couple question on here. Looking back they seem a little stupid now! I want to purchase a boat capable of being a live-aboard and be able to do coastal waters as well as the inter-coastal waterway. So far what I think I've learned is that a trawler with a pilothouse or fly-bridge will offer the most usable space. I've also figured size is important when talking to marinas. Today's question is, what items would you desire to have? Generator, auto, electric or manual toilet, gas or electric stove and refrig., gas or diesel power, etc. Back to the book store tomorrow! Thanks in advance.

Yeah generator would be nice. I prefer gas fridges and stoves, propane is easily available and you can carry it along. You going trawler? Then diesel. Skip the book store and get out on the water. When you have spent some time on the water all these answers will become clear. You will learn so fast it will be scary. Best of luck and enjoy the season.

Q:and what would allow the most crop turnovers of growth? Hemp???

yes as long as the generator has been retro-fitted to use biofuel and not petroleum. A diesel generator would do this best Probably algae would be the best thing to use as you can get several generations a month from it. hemp takes a long season to grow and really only the seeds would have enough sugar to be used to distill biofuel. Beets (which you can get several crops a season from as they are fairly fast growing) would be far better than hemp for fuel as you want high sugar or starch crops (starch can be converted to sugar). But why run a generator on biofuels when it would be easier to run it on solar or wind
