Q:I am wondering did water go over these reactors, and if they did is that what caused the problems, and if not, what in fact really happened?Could the devastation have been worse if water washed over it?

the reactors are right on the shore, the tsunami was right there. and yes it did wash over the plants. that's what caused the backup power to fail ! plus several fuel tanks washed away and water got in almost everywhere, however the containment units remained sealed, at least until the hydrogen steam pressure cracked them ! now the NRC reports there is radiation at deadly levels in the immediate area.japan is downplaying the crisis. and due to unconfirmed plutonium pollution, the area may be uninhabitable for 30,000 years or more ?

Q:i started work in a company and i have to maintain a fuel record of diesel generators.i need to know about this term,kindly answer me in good and easy manner and get 10 points.

it is a meter, more than likely electronic digital but ive seen mechanical ones also, that is attached to the generator that tells you how many hours it has been running or in your case at how many hours you have to add more diesel

Q:i know i asked this question before and received two answers but i should have given more details i need a inclosed storing device that would give easy acess to genator and would protect it from the elements thank you

I would like to help--but I need to know what size of generator you want 2.8 k-12 k ; and what type of fuel Gasoline, propane, diesel. I would ask why don't you mount a Onan Micro quite or light into the side or front of your fifth wheel---but with out seeing your trailer I have no idea what to recommend

Q:I figured it might be diesel generators but I wonder how all that works. I am curious person. LOL

I know that on ships it is deisel generators.

Q:I thought I had found a great place to rent but after reading reviews I found out they charge extra rent monthly for pets and the noise is bad being next to the AFB. Additionally some residents complained that their electric bills were 800 a month. I expected high, but that seems higher than anything else I have read by other people who live there. Can anyone give me an idea of where would be ideal to look for rentals? I have a middle school and a high school aged kids and two small pets. I don't want to live in a dump and our rental budget is about 2000 a month. Any advice regarding location is greatly appreciated!

What part of the island will offer the lowest electric bills? Your funny, there is no part unless its some where you don't have any electric power.

Q:husband is looking for something that he can use for power that is more economical. (no natural gas lines)

pghmarty and Michelle are incorrect. An alternator received't artwork and not using a battery to excite the sphere coil and an induction motor received't generate electricity less than any circumstances. you desire a DC motor with magnets and brushes to generate electricity with. It received't placed out a lot inspite of the reality that. and also you may run it both direction. you're dropping a even as in case you favor to do something functional with it. Been there, finished that, were given the T-blouse. 'Nuff stated?

Q:Fuel tank is for generator and its a day tank the size of the tank filling line is 2

The reason is to minimize the static Electricity

Q:Basically, I want to set up the new homestead off grid and would like to do it with a diesel generator to a DC disconnect, to a charge controller, to a battery bank, to the system meter, to the main DC disconnect, to an inverter, then to an AC breaker panel. Just like a solar array system but using the diesel instead of panels for the first year or two. The home will be using no more than about 22kWH daily. I guess the main question is how do I use a diesel generator in place of 19, 210W solar panels without running the generator 24-7?

You can do anything you like providing of course you don't have your neighbours banging on your door asking you to turn that racket off! Or worse still you could have the noise control officer ordering you to shut it down! co's it's disturbing the neighbours!! It's different if you live in the country, but you will still have to find some way of muffling the noise from the diesel exhaust . In some countries like NZ what power you don't use can go back into the national grid the power company actually pay you! Sounds good eh!! Cheers!

Q:I live in a town home community. The person who loves immediately behind me (the backs of our homes face each other,) has been running a generator from 8am to 10pm every single day for the last two weeks. It is driving me up a wall. It's right outside my bedroom and kitchen. I have complained to the HOA and the town but nothing has been done. He is using a generator to power his whole house because they ran up their electric bill over the winter, didnt pay, and now can't afford to have it turned back on. Is running a generator even efficient? I imagin e spends more on gas every day then he would electric. Why not just sell the generator to pay the bill???

I am having the same problem with a Neighbor. also to add they could be living there illegally and squatting on the property. Also they could be a grow house and a big sign of a grow house is a big electric bill. So they will probably grow stuff off the Grid and not get caught for a while because the electric bill is not high. I would also agree keep Tabs on your Gas and watch your Fuel Level and if it drops fairly quickly then that is a problem.
