I'm doing a 13hp Harbor freight engine with a 400 Amp alternator. I've seen many problems with gearing. I'm doing 3 to 5 on the gear ratio. The Alternator only needs 1200 RPMS to max out amperage. Max Torque on the engine is at 2500 RPMS. 3 to 5 ratio is 1500 RPMS with more added torque.

@neverdemagain60434 ай бұрын
@@Bodgemiester Ive actually have been doing calculations since I sent the message. I also found out the posting said 400 Amps at 1200 Rpms. This was car engine Rpms. I have to spin up the alternator to 4800 Roms to achieve the 400 amps. Reading and understand torque is very important before buying the motor. I've also noticed the hit on the motor when connected to the battery. I'm thinking of adding a 3 or 4 Kg flywheel to absorb that initial hit from the alternator. Been looking at Elliptical flywheels. This is not a free energy project. They dont work. There is nothing like it on the net. I should video it. Also, I haven't seen a 400 Amp alternator generator set up on KZfaq.

@Bodgemiester5 ай бұрын
50/50, did you actually drain the engine casing? The oil in the sump isn't pressured, its what spills out to be scavenged by the oil pump. If it pumped oil straight away then you should be fine. The scavenged side of the pump could have air locked. I'd drain the sump, check for metal and re fill properly

When I was 20, I nearly bought a Diamond jubilee Bonnie, but my mum (love her! 😢) lent me the money for the deposit on a brand new T140E Bonnie in 1982! It had to go back to the Meriden factory for a bit of work (rusty frame on s new bike! 😮), and ended up staying in the factory for months while the workforce were on strike. A few days after they went back to work, I collected the bike from the factory - and it wasn't long after that when the factory was closed... I sold the bike some years later to a friend who still has it, but cannot ride it now! 🤔

An alternator putting out 14vdc @ 100 amps equates to 1400 watts. 1 hp = 746 watts. Therefore, it will take just over 2 HP engine IN THEORY. But frictional losses generate heat. That takes a minimum 3.5 HP engine at full load. 3.5 x 746 = 2600+ watts. But that's not all to consider in the design. The engine spins at about 3600 RPM. The alternator needs to spin at about 2x that RPM to get full output. Double the size of the engine pulley and add a basttery and youi'll be able to crank a non-starting car engine all day long.

Average fuel consumption of a 32kw diesel generator is 8-10 litres an hour…kerosene (diesel alternative) is currently 69p a litre.

Took it all apart and scrapped the idea lol 😦
@jayreiter268 Жыл бұрын
You are Correct. The wattage output is converted to horsepower that is increased by an estimate of loss factor. That higher figure is doubled. That figure is the minimum horsepower internal combustion engine required. His experiment proved that. His engine did not have enough excess power for the governor to respond to the step load. This factor has been long known. Edison probably discovered that soon after he learned the governor shafts of his parallel DC generators had to be synchronized.
