Q:I have an old generator that the motor doesn't run. I want to salvage the generator head and make something like a wind, steam, or bio diesel generator I haven't made my mind up yet. But for now I need to dismantle the head from the motor. I think it has some kind of a ratio box on it too I'm not sure I've never done this before. I sure would appreciate any help!

The generator end should unbolt, followed by the stator. Remove everything you can and all that should remain is the rotor attached to the engine crank shaft.

Q:I would just like to know if this generator can run no veggable oil. It's the ETQ Portable Diesel Power Generators

A diesel engine can run on any oil,even lube oil.

Q:If hydrogen is actually costing 6 to 15 times the energy to manufacture, will cost trillions to provide the infrastructure, then why are so many trying to push it? If battery powered vehicles (full electrics) are only able to get 20 to 75 miles per charge, why do we like them? Personally I like the idea of the new clean diesel engines being provided, and mated with hybrid technology. Pros? Diesel fuel infrastructure is already in place, only needs a little expansion. Hybrid tech is already showing itself to be superior to hydrogen in durability, and in cost savings. Cons - I dont really see them modern diesels are cleaner, quieter and more powerful than ever. Hybrids, especially with the American mindset of GO GO GO are showing they can go and save fuel. Tell me some of your ideas and thoughts on this topic. Enjoy

My father has bought a VW diesel unfortunately he bought before the new really clean blueteck diesels came out but i too think this is the way to go. when we were talking to the salesmen at the VW dealer they said Supposedly you can literally breath from the tailpipe of the diesels due out in 08. personally ill let him try it.

Q:I want to buy a portable generator for power-outages and need some advice on which to buy. I want to run: at least one refrigerator possibly a stand-alone freezerbasic lightinga few outlets a sum-pump. I also need to provide power to my heat in the winter Our heat is natural gas but it needs to be lit with the pilot light and I guess the thermostats need power. Preferrably diesel so we can store fuel safer. How many volts and watts do I need, what price range should I look for, and how many gallons of fuel would I need to be prepared for a good 2 days without power? Thanks- best answer gets the 10!

Q:Diesel generator is not what is the reason for generating electricity

Diesel generator shutdown often lose remanence is used due to the exciter pole material close to steel, remanence, after stopping in the excitation winding is not current magnetic field disappeared.

Q:I am trying to use a marine deep cycle battery and power inverter to power a chest freezer in an ice cream truck. The issue is that the marine battery will drain in a few hours. I was told told that I could connect the inverter to the car battery as well as the marine battery and while the engine is running, the car battery would be charge the marine battery through the inverter. Can anyone tell me how this works and how I should do the wiring?thanks

Just run heavy gage wire from one battery to the other, pos to pos neg to neg, no big deal, however your alternator ain't gonna like working that hard and will go see Allah in a very short period of time, so a high output alt will be needed sooner rather than later, and with the price of gas and seeing the shape some of those ice cream trucks are in, I see a lot of melted ice cream in your future. maybe a small generator would be more cost effective. almost forgot. if the wattage output of your inverter is not enough to power a freezer,which take quite a bit, you'll smoke the motor out of your freezer in a matter of days if not hours. yea lots of melted ice cream

Q:I have been given a cheap diesel generator made from china. It starts alright, but seems to be reving very high and poping and spitting until it has ran for a while. It surges some times as well. I don't really like it much and haven't used it to power anything other then to load test it a bit. I have checked the motor and all it has is a simple governor on it with no adjustments? I am not sure even where to start adjusting anything on this. Any body have one of these and same problem? Please I was given it, I would like to get a little service out of it , not just junk it Fuel, oil, air filter are all new.so? help?

So what did you want to do with this engine? It sounds like a stationary engine used to power a generator or pump or similar application at a constant RPM.

Q:I know that they could re-surface to re-establish a normal supply of air but what about when they were under attack and couldnt surface for long periods of time,wouldnt those engines use up a lot of the oxygen inside the sub?

Water is H2O they use and used a process where they take the water and filter out the hydrogen leaving them with oxygen and they just pump out the hydrogen into the ocean

Q:I Live way out in the country and have a diesel generator.I want to switch to nuclear because it could be cheaper. I have plenty of land to dispose of any nuclear waste.

You would be shut down before you got started unless you want to go through all the red tape and bs the government would throw at you. Plus you can't just bury it anywhere it could potentially contaminate the water table.

Q:can't those nuclear material in japan be kept inside a container that is not affected by it like lead?or shifted to an isolated location.

Humans have not quite figured out how to safely use nuclear energy. Despite the best technical minds in the world, Japan, Russia, and the USA have failed to prevent disasters. Having worked in the nuclear energy field for an energy company and as a vendor, I can tell you that the rules are bent regularly despite what the PR folks tell the world and all those painful paper trails. The world as presented by spokespeople, executives, and media does not exist. The idea that a bigger technological hammer will solve problems created by an already oversized and uncontrollable technology just is insane. A big lead cap will just cause an explosion that is even bigger and more widespread. The only solution is long term. We must stop this insane technology that benefits the very wealthy elite who profit by putting these projects together. GE and Bechtel make out like bandits. It's the tax payer and the rest of us who end up footing the bill. We also have an even more deadly pandemic underway thanks to our friends at Monsanto. A small percentage of folks are now suffering from gluten allergies that are the direct result of genetic modifications to wheat. Many common foods we eat, like wheat, corn, and soy is constantly being changed and the problems (allergies and built in pest resistance) is are not immediately apparent. Some instances of poisoning from GM products are documented, but many may not be linked to the real cause for many years, if at all. More technology is not the answer.
