@@MrGodsking no can do, sorry

If you look closely, they are not joined together. They are mounted independently

@@Bodgemiester I know they are mounted to the frame independantly but I meant the crank shaft, how do they connect for the generator to spin. Thanks for the response

@@Bodgemiester A lot of ev builds ive seen have these sort of adapters that go on the end of a gearbox and on the motor so does it work like that? using a coupler of sorts

?

@@Bodgemiester so i got a triumph Bonneville t140 750 1979 has not been ran in year and i pulled the motor and put a new top end on it the bottom end look good so what oil would you recommend i live in united states around 70s to 80s degrees

Thanks for the encouraging words, I'll check your channel out and take notes on how you present better!

Years old, plenty of them around

@@Bodgemiester just want to make sure I get the correct thread adapter thank w

Sounds like you're getting there!

@@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.

No, sorry

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

Just kampers if I remember rightly

Lots.around even there. The ecu can be bought on ebay now

I did it off camera 😉

Just follow the video, it's very simple

?

​@Bodgemiester From an electrical engineer standpoint (where load is constantly drilled onto our heads as power draw), a load is just that. But, "dropping a load" also means to take a massive shit.

Great story!

It won't stand the heat cycles

It does, usually the peak draw drops after a few seconds and it loads quite nicely

Thanks!!!

😆 🤣

Still running fine after all this time. Never had an issue

Thanks, I agree!

Since this I've down geared ot a bit. Works fine

I could do but it's really not that difficult. I find holding a few rpm helps

@@Bodgemiester A quick one of which lines to drop and where they are and the general draining procedure would help a lot of us. AFA the bleeding, some use the diy bong and some do the bicycle pressure method and some the 2500 rpm method. Anyway thanks

@@at1970 I am doing an oil pump upgrade soon, switching to a golf.gti pump. Should be good

@@Bodgemiester Not sure what you mean?

Check.that the radiator is good and has good flow

Runs great now!

Still running fine to this day!

It depends how big the charger is but I doubt you could charge it as fast as the generator will output. Not like a tesla supercharger etc. But fast non the less

@@Bodgemiester I could use a 240v battery instead, not sure if my calculations are correct…but, 80x3.3v 105ah lifepo4 cells = 264v and 27.72kwh of energy…these can be charged at 1c…which is 105 amps..which would take an hour? Average fuel consumption of a 32kw diesel generator is 8-10 litres an hour…kerosene (diesel alternative) is currently 69p a litre. Making the cost approx 20p a kWh…nearly half what the energy companies charge! I’m now asking myself how on earth can I generate electricity cheaper than a flipping power station with old tech??! Someone is making a lot of money.

@@tomkilmore7254 I agree but I'd just put more batteries in parallel. Look for a forklift truck charger. Anything over 50vdc is classed as lethal!

@@Bodgemiester yes, and compatible with solar panels. Summer….use the panels to charge the battery…winter…use the generator for 1 hour a day. Not only cheaper than the grid but also not reliant on it…thanks, keep up the good work !

@@tomkilmore7254 thanks, please subscribe, I will work on the generator this summer i think

Runs fine after inrush. Use it tonnes

Thanks

Probably so, but I had this and its sill alive and well 😂

Thanks ☺

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.

They hook to the switched pins to make a closed circuit.

I agree, I had this engine laying around though 😂

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem. You may need to use the main loom 12v to switch a relay and join the key but not difficult at all

Long gone but thanks anyway!!!!

My pleasure, bulkhead next!

A bit but not really

Eh

Yes, Chesterfield

@@Bodgemiester cool me to could do with meeting you for some advise if possible.

@@chrisfarr5245 I don't meet people but happy to advise if I can

@@Bodgemiester Ok no worries totally understand.

Haha depends where you are!

I don't see the correct way on your channel, funny that. That engine is still running perfectly and burning no oil BTW 🙂

All finished now

Ha, good luck!
