"its a bit Junky", Bro that thing is awesome.

Building something useful from spare stuff that might otherwise be wasted is a noble undertaking- Bravo! This in an excellent example of actual individual creation!

I knew there was a practical use for a Suzuki car engine.

That is awesome, looks straight out of Fallout 4.

Great video.. I to love to repurpose things and having a quiet generator is a great thing. Thanks for sharing....

More engines should be converted to generators!

Random projects that are cobbled together are a lot more fun. you learn so much

I'm glad to see someone has old blets. Those are hard to come by.

Hey love the DIY Gen. I'm all about the recycling. My motto: If it's free, it's for me!

I always figured people would do this with car engines during the apocalypse.

Thanks for showing a cool freely assembled generator video. Inspirational.

25kw seems to be the magic number that allows enough power to power a house or vehicle. Good thinking. Thanks

This is what makes KZfaq great!! Larry

Awesome generator bro! DIY at its finest!

Yes man this is absolutely ace 😁 I take my hat off to you.

You are brilliant! Bravo! God bless!

Genius man keep tinkering

You are amazing man! I have been watching you videos and amazed by your knowledge and ability to adapt things and built something useful, and also your kindness to share on youtube to inspire and give some ideas, and reuse more things. I wish i could have 10 percent of your knowledge. thank you very much for posting! God Bless You!!

Can't wait to finish my prius generator setup. Junk yard technology to the rescue minus the hv battery pack and ecu. The Toyota echo ecu does the job perfectly.

that's pretty slick man, if I ever get my own house I'm gonna build something like that...

Good job! Geo/Suzuki 1.0 engines that had air conditioners on them had a solenoid on the firewall near the air cleaner that kicked up the idle speed when the AC compressor was running. The little engine would stall without one. The solenoid admits air to the throttle body and has an adjustment thumb screw. You could goose it up to 2000+ rpm at idle with the solenoid energized. Its a ''nothing'' part that might be useful to you.

Nice job! I love making things out of free stuff

This is amazing!!!! Holy cow

A combined heat-electrical power system. Excellent. Pump heated engine water pump coolant into your house radiant/radiator/heat exchanger..heates house and cools engine... I love it..

That is way amazing.

Brilliant!

Awesome idea. Since you have junk as a resource you can still make it look professional. The trick is make a wire harness out of existing wire and get some black electrical tape and loom it up. Spend the money and invest in new belts as a safety net. Get some spray paint and sand paper and clean up your nasty motor. This could be a great system. The way to idle up the engine when you add a load is by adding a air bypass solenoid to the intake instead of opening up the throttle so you save gas.

Wow excellent work

Awesome. I'm not such a big fan of the 12V setup tough. You might be luckier just getting a variable frequency drive and get regenerative DC from the induction motor instead (One it is excited you can also get AC, with much better control than a capacitor bank) From the rectified DC you can use some high quality server power supplies to feed the 12V system. I have one in my EV and they are really nice giving out 50A easily.

Nice Got some spare 1.7l diesels and induction starters laying arround Gotta weld me a frame tho

Fantastic. Please come to South Africa and become our president.

Great job. Know how you feel about noise. One of the reasons I purchased the inverters. Use the inverters all the time. The gen has sat in the garage for 5 years now. Swing down and I'll trade you the gas gen for a scrap Neon

Good idea.

That is great!!! ur a hillbilly brother from another mother!! Hillbilly is a super good thing to b proud of!!! I Lov the way ur mind works

This was interesting. No mention of the actual electric generator that i could see.

Use a universal cruise control to run the rpm and an asynchronous generator. It will self synchronize with an existing network also called "Danish concept" and the heat from the engine can be used to heat your house or neighborhood including warm water for showering. Can be very fuel efficient, especially when combine both and you'll get some money for it. Enough working junkyard engines around for that job. Most expensive part is the generator but you could use old train motors

What do you do for a Governor to keep the RPM's up when a Load is attached?

I'm currently doing this with a 2.3L inline 4 cyl from a 92 Ford Mustang. Very similar concepts, nick-named it "Project Left Overs", because we're trying not to buy a ton of new stuff. Hope you find it when I start posting videos soon.

Sounds very similar to perhaps an older version of the Suzuki's F8D 3 cyl engine. The F8D is MPI though and still quite relevant by todays standards.

very cool build nothing better than taking someone's junk and turning into a productive device the one thing i try to tell friends and family is to buy a decent inverter and keep it around the house for emergency power because anyone can take a 1500w 3000w surge inverter and run a few lights and a fan or even use a hot plate to cook food just by connecting it to your car battery now this is not something for any long term solution but if you need emergency lights you can power a couple of led floods off of the inverter with the car at idle allowing it to run off of the power the alternator produces also for short uses you could even power a microwave for say 10 min to cook emergency food and then allow car to recharge battery and if it is super hot at least run a couple of fans i even have a small 400w 800w surge inverter that i have used to power a small single serving electric skillet i have for heating up stew or other single serving helping of foods like i seed it is a emergency resource that you can tap into if you have a simple $50 400w inverter around and inverters do not go bad sitting on shelf in garage 20 years down the road it should work when you need it

i would place the dash controls and heater rad in the cabin

Cool set up. I'm guessing you have a fork lift to pick this up? If not you may want to think about how to drain the oil for servicing if you can't lift it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the whole point of making something from leftovers is to show how easy it would be with purposely bought components. I gotta try this sometime 😋

i would imagine it is very flue efficient

Nice and quiet ! Any idea how your gonna regulate ac when you get the induction motor hooked up?

thats why i want to use car engine its so quite compared to those generators , plus its starts hell lot easier

My dad wanted to do this with our Volkswagen bettle. His had planned to leave the engine inside the car and mechanical transport the rotation to the alternator.

my favorite viedo

The amazing thing is that you recycle and keep the catalysor on which means its much cleaner than the China portable noisemaker!!

nice! can you make a video on how to modify a alternator to put out 120V ac? and or how to turn a induction motor into a generator ? that would be great, i making a generator at the moment for camping, thanks for the video, looks good

cool

That's great that you have this scrap and engines to work with, a diesel is more preferred but since those Suzuki engines are free and easy to work on what the heck. If you the run on Syngas gasifier you won't need a throttle body or carb you can run it direct with a ball valve for the RPMs. Have you thought about getting one of those heavy duty Chinese ST generator heads to use with this ?

I know im late but if you want ac from the alternators you can take of there rectifiers and then hooked up a transformer to get 120 volts

when using a inducton motor, or any other generator for 120 or 230 volts mains power its not only the voltage thats inportant but also the rpm of the generator, holding it on 50 or 60 hertz.(when you use other loads then resistive, or glow bulbs or sery's tipe motors like vac"s or skil saws etc)(those are not frequenty sensitive),

I'm .here because in Mexicali we lose Energy for earthquake and i.need something like thise..

no commet but give your life to God who knows to appreciate the right heart no beauty, please!

Just curious how you connected multiple alternators, it looks like they are all somewhat modern so I'm assuming they all have the regulator built in. Did you just simple not plug them in and only ran the power output wire off each? Or are they all plugged in and spliced into the voltage input on the ECM? Great work though by the way.

i dont know if you are american, but if you have access to VW group older small diesel engines, that would be your best bet in terms of reliability and fuel economy. Like a 1.4 3 cylinder tdi engine is probably the best for a project like this, its small, its light, reliable, and consumes very little fuel, altough I dont think they were sold in NA markets, if not, you can always use a 1.9tdi, altough it will be bigger and heavier, it will still give the same reliability and amazing fuel economy. But anyways good project!

Great work bud thumbs up do you no what it costs per kwh of electricty

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!! LOL! I love it! nice work. I believe northern tool dot com has a 10,000 watt gen head that is belt driven for cheap. I think that would be a great addition to your project, except that you'd have to pay for it, but everything you've done is really cool. *gives kurtskottage 2 thumbs up*

Where is the "Final" vid. all boxed up and looking good?

can you post a video about how to take out the engine with all its part out of the car?

That's quite a contraption you got there. Be careful not to get entangled in those belts.

Excuse my ignorance, cause I do not know the answer, but, if you want to load down a conventional ICE as you are doing, wouldn't "the load" better be place on the back end, and not the front, or would that require too much throttling / RPM. i guess it'd need transmission, for speed, but wouldn't it be stronger? Thanks

Does this also works if you have an 20kva generator dynamo? Or are car engines not supposed to run stationair al the time?

Hi nice set up ... about how much gas does it use per hour per pulling maybe 2k watts ?

Is been 3 years, yet I still wonder why is the A/C-Heating cluster also there? :P just wondering :P

Hi, I very much wonder if you can connect the cooling circuit of this engine to home radiator heating system. If yes, then how much heat would it really deliver?

How much does this engine weigh? I am debating whether to use this engine or a 27HP Briggs & Stratton V Twin on my generator.

Hey! Got an update on the Generator? If you Still have it or so Make another video or make another! Cause i would want to try this!

Suzuki G10 - is the engine for 4 wheels cars like Suzuki Cultus, Holden Barina.

Can you calculate a homemade generator that can power a DC or AC motor of a converted electric car? I suppose the Lister engine is not suitable because it requires a motor with speed acceleration.

So what the update, did you finish it ? I have a project too so just wondering, I also have few questions about it

Nice but can you use this to power your home? I doubt it

U need a fan for it so it can stay cool

it is efficient to attach a bach or series of 12 v car alternator to the car engine, instead of using one commercial generator

Now it’s built what can you do with it , charge batteries and ?.....

Now build yourself a gasifier to accompany the system so that zukey G10 could be dual powered petrol and biomass

Buy surplus 28 volt generator head and run that and a 120 volt AC off of the flywheel end of the engine. That would be more efficient than kluging a bunch of car alternators onto the front. If you want lots of 12 volt amps...go to a school bus weecking yard and grab a 350 amp 12 volt alternator... One belt and you have more current than all of those put together. If you can run the engine at a reasonably low RPM it wont be too noisy but for the power you get into the battery. .you will be burning a lot of fuel. They make PTO generators for farm tractors... Look at how those work. An old welder would also make a potential generator head as would an old wind generator

Kind a cool that you made a gen from scrap stuff. However why so much HP for even 4 alternators. Also that clicking noise you here under power, that is on o the alts. they do not like being loaded that much, and what you are hearing is bearing knock.

✅

Could you of welded a muffler to a generator with less work and from maybe same car

Also since your using a computer to run your engine make sure you get the engine light off the system otherwise it dumps too much fuel. Since this thing is not in a car you can get away with some nasty mods because your not dealing with emissions since its stationary. Another thing that can increase run time is heat your fuel before it goes into the engine.

so free gasoline?

How much kva it can produce pls?

how to fix self-starter bro

Why did you keep the ac control system?

I'm ready for my Ford F-450 powered house please....

Interesting build but why use an electric fan and cooling system instead of mechanical? You are drawing power to run while trying to generate power. That motor has enough power to run enough kW to power an entire street so using up some of the mechanical hp is not a concern. Just not very logical Imop. But I can see the time and effort you put in..

if ur gunnna use an i3 y not use a i4 there so much more common

You should never use a computer on a generator go for carb's not throdle bodys

Induction motor will NOT generate AC for you. A three phase motor can be used to create the third phase, but the excitation has to have AC to start with. If you take AC machines in college you would have covered this... not sure if they still teach that.

Suskistein

Wow, I hope you don't have kids, or pets, or local animal populations... That looks sketchy dangerous!! I still love it though!
