Home made wind generator/ solar control board

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 05:01:33 +0000

My 440 amp control board. Complete with brakes, breaker, fuses, load divert, battery bank selector switch, and 440 amp controller, 1500 watt inverter and metering gauges. Currently using 4) 6 volt golf cart batteries parallel and in series yielding 440 amp hours vented through the wall to outside (gasses here are poison). I intend to add several more power input sources to this board along with an additional battery bank (hence the battery selector switch) and additional inverters.. solar panels and additional wind generators for what will soon be more free electricity….

Homemade Generator – Version 1.2 – 1500 Watts Power Load Extended Test

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 19:50:40 +0000

Pretty much the same as before, except its all mounted in the chassis, and I ran it for 20 minutes. This video was recorded after I let the battery die down a bit, just to see how the generator would handle the battery charging and loaded inverter at the same time. Same load on the inverter as before, 1530 watts.

Homemade Generator – Version 1.1 – 1500 Watts Power Load Test

admin — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 20:09:25 +0000

This is a rough prototype of my homemade generator. Actually its more like a 2 stage DC/AC system that can be used to charge batteries too. I used a (really old) 7 horsepower Tecumseh engine driving a 145Amp Delco Remy Alternator. I chose a shaft drive versus belt drive. My inverter is a MotorMaster Eliminator branded Xantrex 1750 watt inverter. My load test is about 1530 watts. The governor on the engine was broken (see my version 1.0 video). Now that the engine governor is fixed, the proper output is maintained and now the engine doesn’t strain with the load. It works really well. Later I will buy a large deep cycle battery and use it to run the inverter for small loads with the engine and generator used for large loads and/or battery charging. Next things to do are make a steel chassis, and get a much quieter muffler. Sorry for the shaky video, it was -15c outside and I guess I was shivering.

Homemade 1.8kW Inverter-Generator

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 04:30:25 +0000

I built this a Generator a couple of years ago, because we used to have alot of power outages, and I didn’t like what I saw at Home-less Depot and Lowe’s. Used it several times for power outages, our Ham Radio club’s annual Field Day, and places where there is no AC. Although it puts out only 1800W, its battery-Inverter arrangement allows the gen-set to run in silent-mode (engine shut down). I have about 500Ah extra capacity I can add, so at 1kW load, I can run on batteries for about 6 hours (conservatively), and about 10 hrs at 500W load, before the engine need to be restarted to charge the batteries.

I found the engine, alternator, inverter, and generator frame, all new, all on eBay. The Alternator, in case you didn’t hear in the video (lots of noise) is a 140A OEM unit, and the engine is a Briggs & Stratton 6.0hp vertical-shaft, electric start. The inverter is a Xantrex Pro-Sine 1800 (12V input, hard-wired AC output), and the frame was from a Coleman 6500 generator. The wheels are pneumatic, and the steering mechanism turns via a brass fitting.

The engine drives the alternator by a K-6, 6-rib serpentine belt. Engine pulley is 7.00″ dia., and the alternator pulley is 5.00″ dia., from an old Ford smog-pump.

I am seeking suggestions for a official name for my creation.

Homemade Generator – Version 1.0 – 1000 Watts Power Load Test

admin — Sun, 30 May 2010 06:04:01 +0000

This is a rough prototype of my homemade generator. Actually its more like a 2 stage DC/AC system that can be used to charge batteries too. I used a (really old) 7 horsepower Tecumseh engine driving a 145Amp Delco Remy Alternator. I chose a shaft drive versus belt drive. My inverter is a MotorMaster Eliminator branded Xantrex 1750 watt inverter. My load test is a 1000 watt heater. The governor on the engine was broken so in this test the throttle was set to half and it wasn’t enough because the engine loads down and the battery voltage slowly drops. Also later I will buy a large deep cycle battery and use it to run the inverter for small loads with the engine and generator for large loads and/or battery charging. Note the engine ’strain’ as I switch the heater off and on. Next things to do are make a steel chassis, fix the governor, and get a much quieter muffler. (Note: Governor is now fixed, see video version 1.1 – 1500 watts load test.)

http://www.ForYourGuide.com/ — DIY Solar Power Guide

With the world faced with a severe energy crisis, it is wise to invest in an alternate power solution at home. It not only helps the government fight energy crisis in a better way.But also helps save power for the rest of the world. Among the alternate power solutions, the solar power system and the wind power system are the most popular being less cumbersome. For implementing a wind power system, we need a large area and the average wind speed in the area should be 11 miles per hour.

In comparison, the solar power system is easier to implement. All you need is abundant sun light.
