Diesel Generators

Archive for January, 2009

My family and I live in an ex-Amish house. It is not equipped with wires or hydro so we use a diesel generator. I have an electric guitar but haven't played it because of our situation. I was wondering if anyone else uses solar panels for their instruments.. or how do I do that? Thank you.

You can buy public address amplifiers that run off a car battery (12 volt). You can buy a solar powered battery charger, I'm pretty sure. That should be all you need, and because of the battery you will be able to play at night!

How bout you??? According to physics traction is not dependent on surface area. I'm vehicles with extremely tall wheels that absorb energy from impact run more efficiently do to lower rotating weight and driven by direct hub drive dc motors powered by small diesel generator/ solar and battery reserve. What would this look like? Who cares about looks

good luck in bad weather of any kind. You have both front to back and side to side traction and surface area certainly pertains to your side to side movement. Surface area is what is needed to keep you grounded. The less surface area, the more endangered you become, especially in rain and snow. Even in strong winds, wider tires are what helps keep the vehicle grounded.

You certainly need to balance between efficiency and safety.

I am not a science person, so pardon my un-educated observation. One of the differences between the old bias tires of the 60's and 70's is that they had much less surface area than the radials we now use. There was no how, no way they had better traction than today's tires, yet I think they would be consider taller tires, based on the height and width ratios between them.

I would like to try a browns gas generator on a 3 cylinder Diesel engine to compare efficiency and save money and not add a turbo to the unit. I just wanted to know if anyone had any experience in this. I am also considering a natural gas flow to the intake.

Had the previous responder actually read from his Wikipedia reference he would have proven himself incorrect…

Oxyhydrogen is often mentioned in conjunction with devices that claim to operate a car using water as a fuel. Because the energy required to split water exceeds the energy recouped by burning it, these devices reduce, rather than improve fuel efficiency.

I’ve read many other reputable research items refuting the benefits of Brown’s Gas in this application. I’ve personally tested a few and determined to my own satisfaction that any apparent gain in automotive fuel economy is due to driving style, not hydrogen energy.
