Rolling shutter makes it look so wobbly

Nicely done Shaun. Might deafen my kids in the back of my van.

I was experimenting with a similar setup for CHP, also running on gas with a solenoid valve actually, nice solution. Do you have a lambda sensor in the exhaust to determine mixture? Things can get quite hot running on gas if the mixture isn't right, an EGT probe would probably also be a good idea. I also have an oil pump, filter and oil to water heat exchanger to keep the oil clean and cool and also provide hot water of course. You can probably bump up the compression a fair bit if your planning on not using it with petrol and this will increase the efficiency a little bit, you can do this with a thinner head gasket or just machine a chunk off the head. An MPPT might also be a good idea, it should be possible to modify a solar inverter or use a hybrid inverter in which case adding solar would be an option. The exhaust would be a lot quieter with a box mounted right on the manifold, a lot of the sound will be coming directly out of the walls of the pipe. Look into ceramic mufflers if you want whisper quiet operation, that's what the military use. Great job, best of both worlds having a setup like this, i hope EVs will come with something like this that we can pull out and use for powering homes etc.

I wish I could like this comment more than once. I'm considering getting an older vehicle from the 1980s, adding batteries, and a range extender running on LPG.

Cool project, what's the model of rectifier you're using?

How is the electricity hooked to the van?

Am I missing something or 3.6kw quiet powerful for such a small engine? Btw love your videos dude!

@ShaunDobbie Жыл бұрын

The engine is 6.5hp which is 4.84Kw. When you factor in the losses of the generator windings and the bridge rectifier, 3600 is about right.

@@ShaunDobbie Gotcha. Looks small to me but that's nice that it can deliver that much. 3.6kw seems to be enough to keep you at a steady 50-60kmh?

How the heck are you going to get an insurer to cover this?

@ShaunDobbie Жыл бұрын

It's similar to a van mounted diesel heater, so it should be ok. I will discuss with my insurance.

Dude mount the engine outside on a rack that hooks to the hitch.
