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?

You need kilowatts, not kilowatt hours. The amount of power you need varies depending on who turns on what at any given time, and especially on what kind of equipment you are using in the mine. Mines can use huge amounts of electric power. Assuming you are talking about a fairly small mine, you are probably looking at something around 500 kilowatts peak demand. This would require a small power plant. You may be able to get a diesel generator this size, but it would be more efficient to use several smaller generators. This would allow you to shut down some generators to vary the output to meet the varying demand.

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

Depending on where you live, your main power may occasionally be supplied by a large diesel generator. During power outages I use a 5500 watt generator to supply power to my home. The computer is on backup power and I have never had a problem. There is absolutely no reason for concern if you have a good quality generator that works properly. If your generator supplies a stable output voltage it will work fine. However if your generator operates near it maximum load and the output voltage varies in frequency and voltage there is a possibility of damage to equipment connected. A UPS may assist, but unless the generator is perfect the UPS will switch to battery power. After a short time the battery will run down and the computer shut off.

Q:What is the most important parameter of diesel generator

rated power factor (COS): refers to the motor rated power factor.

Q:Hey Yahoo techies,I want to start a hosting company and I need to know where and what to buy for a server that has similar quality as server on BlueHost, GoDaddy, and 1and1. To help you organize an answer, here's a list.1 Server Parts a. CPU b. RAM and amount2. Server Rack3. Storage Databases4. Host Control Panel5. XAMPPS to install MySQL, PHP, Mercury, etc.6. High Speed ISP (Which ones? I live in Irvine, CA)I have no idea what brands and hardware specifications I need. Please tell em what parts I would need and which ones are best or adequate for a Host. Is XAMPPS and a CPanel License all I need to install??So is that all I need? Let me know if I need anything else to run a web host company! Software, Hardware, or anything at all. I do plan on having a office location to run the Host, it's not from home.Wamr Regards,Jason

well if your starting a host shoudnt you know this? call dell there help you.my da works ther lol

Q:I Have an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard with the chipset fan going at over 6000 RPM, an AMD Athlon 64 4000+ with the CPU fan at about 3000 RPM, and a GeForce 6200LE with a very high pitched fan that's dead annoying. To cut a long story short, my PC makes way more noise than it should be, now I don't have any case fans installed but that shouldn't mean that it has to make this sort of howling, believe me, if you were sitting next to it, you'd understand where I'm comin from, it's like tryin to sleep at night with a diesel generator in your room while it's downloading stuff. The fans shouldn't need to spin that fast as the average temp is about 30-40 degrees Celsius across all the components. Anyone know what I should try? Cheers Sam The Bam

Q:I'm doing research on trains and Google isn't helping, it's giving me everything but what I need so maybe I'm not posing/wording the question properly or something but a friend told me about this so hopefully I can find the answer.

I believe it is 6 gallons per mile. I can tell you that a tractor trailer gets 4-8 miles per gallon of diesel.

Q:i wan't to make a small diesel generator. I've access to all of the machines.which are needed in this project.i know about how the engine works.i don't know how piston rings and piston seals the combustion chamber,how to make them.how much power will my generator will generate.i wan't to make this generator for my PC.

With respect, you're actually asking how to design and build your own engine. There are entire books on the subject, and you need plenty of diagrams as well. That's far beyond the scope of an answer on here. But if all you need is a 12v regulated dc power supply why not just get a model car or boat engine and see if you can hook it up to a car alternator from a scrapped vehicle via a suitable pulley gearing? It certainly won't be quiet though, and you'll need to ensure that the engine is either fan or water cooled and that there's a suitable exhaust outlet. Model diesel engines aren't very large, but there are larger scale copies of the old British Mills engine design made in India, and also various websites which give you details or sell you plans on how to build your own. Usually they have lapped pistons so don't need the complication of piston rings.

Q:For 100Kw generator, what will be minimum/ maximum loadfor its safe operation.

For most generators there is no minimum load, as it can even be zero loaded. For the maximum load you will need to look at the manufacturers specifications. Do you have the make and model of the generator?

Q:I am designing the system to produce electricity for a computer room with 40 PC and 40 LCD screens. The needed power is about 15 KW (20 hp). My system consists of a compressor, a compressed air tank, a turbocharger and a mini gas turbine. I will talk a little bit about the operation: the air is released from the tank and driven by ducting system to turbocharger, at which the air flow is through turbocharger and run turbine to produce electricity. I have searched in internet many times about the turbine but still have no fit one. Can anybody suggest me one? And the turbocharger too if you don't mind. I really need all the details about both of them for calculations.

This is a very inefficient way to produce electricity. Where are you getting the power to run the compressor? Use that to run the computers. Or use that charge batteries that will run an inverter. Or use a diesel generator. .

Q:Electrical Power Generator, Capable of using JP-8 fuel.

J P-8 is a better hotter burning deisel fuel they use it in the military on diesel motors as well as generators
