Dewalt Powered FlyWheel Generator

Dewalt Powered FlyWheel Generator Tube. Duration : 9.83 Mins.


I'm a big fan of flywheel technology, and happened to run across some heavy clutch plates that I managed to pull apart (b*%ch of a time doing it) but got er done. They just so happened to fit perfectly on some hard drive spindles and really halls a*$ when spun with the Dewalt Drill at 2000rpm. Never met a Dewalt product I didn't like. But anyway, my plan is to mount some magnets to them and see what I can get out of them by hooking them up to a hydro turbine I have been working on that's portable and sits in the tub in an apartment and produce emergency backup power for free (since I don't pay for water) Ill keep you updated as it progresses. Ive been seeing large format flywheel ups generators hooked to Cummings inline 12 motors. These flywheels have one large one and one smaller on the inside that spins at an even higher rpm then the outer shell. These things are massive, many many tons each.

Tips in Choosing the Right Home Power Generator

Usually, when one sets out to look for a home power generator, he ends up confused and perplexed. There are just too many home power generators nowadays that come in various shapes, sizes, models and prices coming from different manufacturers and retailers. More often than not, instead of going home with a home power generator, one ends up going home with nothing other than more confusion.

To prevent this from happening to you, make sure you cover all the tips discussed in this article.

What is the first thing that I should consider?

Since the main purpose of a home power generator is to supply electricity, the first thing you should ask yourself is the amount of electricity you usually need at home. Generally, medium-sized homes between 1000-3000 square feet will need a generator that can supply 3000-5000 watts. This will be used for emergency home power backup.

But of course, no matter how big or small your home is, it depends on how many electrical devices you have at home. To get a more definite figure on your energy consumption, you can try adding the total number and type of electrical devices that will require electricity at the same time. Typically, watt ratings are printed on the device itself so you won't have a hard time figuring it out. Afterwards, you can sum up the wattage requirements for these devices to get the overall wattage you'll require from your generator.

Other than wattage capacity, here are some more features you must consider when looking for a home power generator.

Sound

How noisy is the unit? Of course, since you will be using the electric generator at home, you do not want it to be loud and noisy. As much as possible, you would want it to function with minimal, if not zero noise so you can enjoy the comforts of your home without getting disturbed by your generator.

Fuel Supply

You will have to determine what type of fuel you're generator will be running on. There are many types of fuel available today. You can either use diesel, gas, propane or natural gas. You might also want to check out the size of the tank so you can gauge how many hours of operating time it can give you.

Portability

You might want to rearrange the furniture in your house or do some serious renovation. For this reason, you can choose a home power generator that comes with wheels, or a transport trailer if in the first place, it isn't light enough to carry by hand.

Weather Protection

If you plan to position your home power generator near your windows, consider getting one with a protected control panel. The control panel of your generator must be protected from rain, dust, and other debris.

Outlets

In order to ensure the safety of your home, ask yourself if you have enough outlets available to handle everything you need. Make sure that they are protected by a circuit breaker to prevent fire accidents from happening.

As a whole, buying a home power generator is not as puzzling as you think it is if you only know what to look for in one.

Portable Power Generator - Keeping Your Family and Home Safe

Nothing is more convenient than a portable power generator during an outage. You can rely on a good generator to give you enough power to run important appliances and equipment. Generators however are potentially dangerous. You should know how to protect yourself and your family from the consequences of incorrect generator use.

Product Instructions

The product manual should be the first thing you look into. Read the manual and make sure you understand everything in it before you install your generator. If you know that you aren't very good with technical details, then ask an electrician to help you. You may have to pay extra for installation but the cost is worth it if it means you are kept safe. Keep the product manual in a prominent place in your home. You may have to refer to it in case you have problems with your unit.

CO Precautions

One of the top dangers of generators is its tendency to emit carbon monoxide. This gas can kill and you may not even know that it is around because it has no color and smell. Prevent carbon monoxide from entering your living space by putting your generator in its own ventilated area. This should be outside your home and garage. You should also make sure that the generator isn't anywhere near your neighbor's windows. Otherwise your neighbors could succumb to CO poisoning.

Take extra precautions against CO from your portable power generator. Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home. These will warn you if CO still manages to find its way to your home.

Connections

Do not connect your generator to the wiring of your house. Doing so could result in an electrical back feed that could kill a linesman repairing electrical connections. It is best to connect appliances directly to the generator. You can also use an outdoor standard extension cord. If you truly prefer to have a direct connection, then you have to contact a licensed electrician. An electrician would use a transfer switch to ensure that back feed cannot occur.

Wattage

Check the generator wattage before you buy a generator. This will help you find out the limits of your generator. Portable units are only supposed to be used on a couple of appliances. It is never intended to provide power to your entire house. Powering too many appliances can result in an overload that could lead to damage or fires. If you need to provide power to a lot of appliances, then you can rotate the appliances that you attach to the generator.

Fuel

You may think handling fuel is a matter of common sense. A lot of people however, still take fuel flammability for granted. A small spark could easily ignite generator fuel if you do not use and store it properly. Always turn off your generator when refueling. Your reserve fuel should also be kept outside your main living area and away from small children. Make sure that the containers are not made of glass and are properly labeled.

You can never be too safe in using your portable power generator. Be extra careful all the time to ensure your family's safety.
