There is no need to look for the benefit of your own gas generator, it lies on the surface.

Owners of garages, summer cottages, private houses (provided that these objects have an unreliable power supply, or are not electrified at all) have long appreciated the benefits of backup power supply.

Even if you live in a cottage village with a normal supply of electricity, it is possible emergencies. Loss of energy for a long time will lead to spoilage of food in the refrigerator in the summer, and malfunctions heating boiler in winter.

Therefore, many homeowners purchase industrial generators, the cost of which cannot be called economical.

Another direction for mobile power plants is tourism, expeditions and offline work using power tools.

This useful device does not belong to too complex devices, so it is quite possible to assemble a gas generator with your own hands, including for 220 volts.

Of course, the main reason for this decision is the desire to save money. If you buy components for a mobile power plant in a store, the cost of parts will exceed the savings on assembly.

Therefore, a home-made gas generator will become profitable only if there are shareware components.

The most expensive spare parts are: drive ( Gas engine) and an electric motor that will act as a generator. It is they who must be selected from the “junk” available in the storerooms.

What power plant can be selected for the generator?

First of all, power. In mobile power plants, the following ratio is applied: for each kilowatt of electricity generated (not in peak, but in normal mode), 2-3 l / s of the engine is supplied.

Important! This proportion works with well-chosen components and minimal losses. It should be remembered that even the most inexpensive generator from the Celestial Empire was designed by engineers.

As a rule, gas generators are developed in a complex, that is, a generating element is developed for a specific motor. For homemade installation you should choose a coefficient of 2-4 l / s per 1 kilowatt of energy. Otherwise, at full load, the engine will quickly fail.

In our turbulent times, sometimes there are power outages. Solar panels a good option, but not in anticipation of a cloudy and snowy winter - something better and more powerful is required here. diesel generator too good option, only noisy and requiring maintenance costs. Then why not invent... the bicycle? With the help of readily available parts, you can build a powerful enough current generator that will charge your phone, laptop, or powerful battery for emergency lighting at home. The bike itself without wheels will stand on wooden base, and the rotation of the pedals will be transferred to the electric motor of the generator.

Bicycle generator

Installing the bike is as follows: the rear wheel of the bike will provide rotation of the engine direct current through the fan belt, this motor is connected to the charge controller, the charge controller charges the lead-acid batteries, and the battery is connected to the inverter. And then you can connect any 220V device to the output of the inverter.

Generator main materials

• Flat board base
• Bicycle frame with rear wheel
• 12V lead acid battery
• DC-AC inverter
• DC-DC Charger
• 24 V DC electric motor
• fan belt
• Wires, screws, and a metal rod

First, attach the bike to a piece of thick plywood. Make sure you have enough space and attach the motor to the rear wheel via a pulley.

After installing the bike stand, the front wheel should sit firmly on the blocks. Next, remove the tire from the rear wheel. Attach pulley for motor. Attach the belt to the wheel and pulley. Make sure the motor is providing maximum fan belt tension.

The engine used here is 2800 rpm, while driving at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour will give only 250 rpm on the rear wheel. Thus, we choose a pulley with a diameter about ten times smaller than the wheel, so even slow pedaling can give us desired speed(10x magnification). For practical purposes, we chose the thickest straps that could fit into the wheel rim. Depending on which length you use, the motor can be mounted at various distances from the rear wheel.

Charger

The charge controller regulates the current supplied to the battery and prevents overcharging and discharging the battery. We will not give a scheme - firstly, there are a lot of them on the site, and secondly, it all depends on your capabilities and preferences.

Adding a Zener Diode

It is important not to exceed the charging input voltage level more than the limit (in our case 24 V). You can add a powerful zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 24V, so if the voltage gets higher, the zener diode will not allow excess voltage to go to the charger.

Battery

If we use a 12 V battery, then the charge controller for a voltage of 12 V. The battery in the photo with a capacity of 18 A / h works great in this generator circuit and has a maximum charging current of 5 A.

inverter

The current that comes out of the socket is alternating current(AC). The inverter converts the battery's low DC voltage to 220V AC high voltage, so you can plug in your normal electrical appliances. When choosing an inverter, make sure it is capable of delivering the output current and voltage for the required power. The inverter recommended in this project has a power of 500W.

Thus, it becomes possible, without the slightest additional cost, to obtain a sufficiently powerful, environmentally friendly source of electricity at least 12, at least 220 volts, which will help in case of accidents on power lines during a storm or other natural disasters. And in combination, the generator works like a regular exercise bike!

The majority of people are convinced that energy for existence can only be obtained from gas, coal or oil. The atom is quite dangerous, the construction of hydroelectric power plants is a very laborious and costly process. Scientists around the world say that natural fuel reserves may soon run out. What to do, where is the way out? Are humanity's days numbered?

Everything from nothing

Research on the types of "green energy" in recent times are being conducted more intensively, as this is the way to the future. Our planet initially has everything for the life of mankind. You just need to be able to take it and use it for good. Many scientists and just amateurs create such devices? like a generator free energy. With their own hands, following the laws of physics and their own logic, they do what will benefit all of humanity.

So what are the phenomena? Here are a few of them:

• static or radiant natural electricity;
• use of permanent and neodymium magnets;
• receiving heat from mechanical heaters;
• transformation of earth energy and;
• implosion vortex engines;
• thermal solar pumps.

Each of these technologies uses a minimal initial impulse to release more energy.

Free energy with your own hands? For this you need to have desire change your life, a lot of patience, diligence, a little knowledge and, of course, the necessary tools and accessories.

Water instead of gasoline? What nonsense!

An engine running on alcohol will probably find more understanding than the idea of ​​decomposing water into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. After all, even in school textbooks it is said that this is a completely unprofitable way of obtaining energy. However, there are already installations for the extraction of hydrogen by ultra-efficient electrolysis. Moreover, the cost of the resulting gas is equal to the cost of cubic meters of water used in this process. Equally important, the cost of electricity is also minimal.

Most likely, in the near future, along with electric vehicles, cars powered by hydrogen fuel will drive around the world's roads. An ultra-efficient electrolysis plant is not exactly a free energy generator. It is quite difficult to assemble it with your own hands. However, the method of continuous production of hydrogen using this technology can be combined with methods for obtaining green energy, which will increase the overall efficiency of the process.

One of the undeservedly forgotten

Devices such as completely maintenance-free. They are absolutely silent and do not pollute the atmosphere. One of the most famous developments in the field of eco-technologies is the principle of obtaining current from the ether according to the theory of N. Tesla. A device consisting of two resonantly tuned transformer coils is a grounded oscillatory circuit. Initially, Tesla made a free energy generator with his own hands in order to transmit a radio signal over long distances.

If we consider the surface layers of the Earth as a huge capacitor, then we can imagine them as a single conductive plate. The second element in this system is the ionosphere (atmosphere) of the planet, saturated with cosmic rays (the so-called ether). Through both of these "plates" are constantly flowing electric charges of different poles. To "collect" currents from near space, you need to make a free energy generator with your own hands. 2013 was one of the most productive years in this area. Everyone wants free electricity.

How to make a free energy generator with your own hands

The scheme of a single-phase resonant device N. Tesla consists of the following blocks:

1. Two ordinary rechargeable batteries by 12 V.
2. with electrolytic capacitors.
3. Generator that sets the standard frequency of the current (50 Hz).
4. Current amplifier block directed to the output transformer.
5. Converter of low-voltage (12 V) voltage to high-voltage (up to 3000 V).
6. A conventional transformer with a winding ratio of 1:100.
7. Voltage step-up transformer with high-voltage winding and tape core, power up to 30W.
8. Main transformer without core, with double winding.
9. A step-down transformer.
10. Ferrite rod for system grounding.

All units of the installation are connected according to the laws of physics. The system is set up experimentally.

Is it all true?

It may seem that this is absurd, because another year when they tried to create a free energy generator with their own hands is 2014. The circuit described above simply uses battery power, according to many experimenters. To this the following may be objected. Energy enters the closed circuit of the system from the electric field of the output coils, which receive it from a high-voltage transformer due to the mutual arrangement. And the charge of the battery creates and maintains the strength of the electric field. All other energy comes from the environment.

Fuel-free device for receiving free electricity

It is known that the occurrence of a magnetic field in any engine is facilitated by conventional ones made of copper or aluminum wire. To compensate for the inevitable losses due to the resistance of these materials, the engine must run continuously, using part of the generated energy to maintain its own field. This significantly reduces the efficiency of the device.

In a transformer powered by neodymium magnets, there are no self-induction coils, and, accordingly, there are no losses associated with resistance. When using a constant, they are generated by a rotor rotating in this field.

How to make a small DIY free energy generator

The schema used is:

• take a cooler (fan) from the computer;
• remove 4 transformer coils from it;
• replace with small neodymium magnets;
• orient them in the original directions of the coils;
• by changing the position of the magnets, you can control the speed of rotation of the motor, which works completely without electricity.

This almost retains its performance until one of the magnets is removed from the circuit. By attaching a light bulb to the device, you can illuminate the room for free. If you take a more powerful engine and magnets, you can power not only a light bulb, but also other household electrical appliances from the system.

On the principle of operation of Tariel Kapanadze's installation

This famous do-it-yourself free energy generator (25kW, 100kW) is assembled according to the principle described by Nikolo Tesla back in the last century. This resonant system is capable of producing a voltage many times greater than the initial impulse. It is important to understand that this is not perpetual motion machine", and a machine for generating electricity from natural sources that are freely available.

To obtain a current of 50 Hz, 2 square-wave generators and power diodes are used. For grounding, a ferrite rod is used, which, in fact, closes the Earth's surface to the charge of the atmosphere (ether, according to N. Tesla). Coaxial cable is used to supply a powerful output voltage to the load.

talking in simple terms, do-it-yourself free energy generator (2014, scheme by T. Kapanadze), receives only the initial impulse from a 12 V source. The device is capable of continuously supplying current normal voltage standard electrical appliances, heaters, lighting and so on.

The assembled do-it-yourself self-powered free energy generator is designed to complete the circuit. Some craftsmen use this method to recharge the battery, which gives the initial impulse to the system. For your own safety, it is important to consider the fact that the output voltage of the system is high. If you forget about caution, you can get a severe electric shock. Since a 25kW do-it-yourself free energy generator can bring both benefits and dangers.

Who needs all this?

Almost anyone who is familiar with the basics of the laws of physics from school curriculum. The power supply of your own home can be completely transferred to the ecological and affordable energy of the ether. With the use of such technologies, transportation and production costs will be reduced. The atmosphere of our planet will become cleaner, the process of the "greenhouse effect" will stop.

Electric generator source of alternative energy

It is worth clarifying the definition generator". Most have associations with gasoline or diesel generators built on the basis of an internal combustion engine. Of course, a do-it-yourself electric generator, an indispensable component of a car, and domestic power plants based on internal combustion engines are the most common of industrial designs. By definition, an electrical generator is a device that converts different kinds energy into electricity.

It will not be possible to use the energy of the atom at home (not the scale). The energy of the sun, wind, moving water and thermal energy(ICE) use according to your strength.

Electric generator and solar energy

Solar battery — alternative source energy, does not differ in high power, but as an auxiliary (backup) system is already quite widespread.

It directly generates electricity, which is used to charge the battery. Of course, the power plant operates during the day and the power depends on the length of daylight hours. If you look at the insolation map of Russia, you can see that the duration of "sunshine" in half of the territory is from 1700 to 2000 hours per year, and in the southern regions (surprisingly, in Yakutsk) more than 2000 hours.

The efficiency of such batteries ranges from 9% - 25% of the declared power (depending on the type of cell), the most common models with an efficiency of 14-19%. If you don't go into distinctive features batteries, then in most cases, to get 1 kW of electricity, you need a panel with an area of ​​​​7 to 10 square meters. m. And now you can multiply by the number of hours of sunshine and get a good figure for annual savings ...

What else is good solar panels- ease of installation. If you do not mount the system according to the “sunflower” principle, with a rotation relative to the position of the sun, then the scheme solar generator very simple.

Electric generator and solar battery

Do-it-yourself electric generator: location of a stationary battery

for year-round operation it should be + 15 ° to latitude, for the summer months it is necessary to subtract 15 ° from latitude. Although for small systems it is possible to increase the power up to 50% by tracking the azimuth of the sun, since the deviation of the battery from the perpendicular sunbeam no more than 15 ° gives 99% helioradiation. The height of the sun need not be tracked, as it mostly falls within a 30° spread. The main thing is to take all this into account when installing the battery, for example, on a pitched roof.

Solar panels

In addition to stationary systems, you can buy or make a portable solar power station with your own hands, the power of which will be enough to recharge your phone or tablet somewhere in nature.

mobile power generator

Electric generator and wind power

Wind is another environmentally friendly form of energy. But if solar energy is converted into electricity using photocells simply (from the point of view of the end user), then a wind power generator is a complex engineering structure that requires a whole range of work. In fact, at home, it is necessary to repeat the industrial installation.

Wind turbine generator

The main components: engine - multiplier (reducer) - DC generator - battery charge controller - battery - voltage converter.

A wind turbine, or wind wheel, can be with a horizontally oriented axis and a vertical one. In the first case, this is the familiar (and most common) propeller design.

Horizontal wind generator

The vertical axis is wind turbines based on the Darrieus or Savonius rotor. Of the two, it is easier to make an electric generator with your own hands according to the second option.

Wind generator vertical

Do-it-yourself power generator: each scheme has its own advantages.

Vertical-axis rotors have an efficiency of no more than 15%, but they also have a much lower noise level, and the Savonius rotor is quite simple from the point of view of a wind turbine. In addition, this type is less dependent on wind strength and does not require orientation relative to the direction of the air flow.

Horizontally axial modifications have a higher efficiency, but require orientation relative to the direction of the air flow (with a weather vane, or a shovel) and protection from strong winds. In addition, they are quite noisy, not only because of aerodynamic noise, but also mechanical ones are added (after all, the thrust bearing is “noisy”). Plus, to generate decent power, you need a rather large propeller size. But nevertheless, it is this type that is used in almost all industrial designs.

Now about the propeller, its dimensions and the number of blades. There is already a strictly verified, including empirically, table of the dependence of the power of the installation on wind speed, blade size and their number.

In order not to get confused with fractions, it is worth giving a simple layout with a wind speed of 4 m (the efficiency of the horizontal “windmill” is 0.35, the efficiency of the generator is 0.9, the gearbox is 0.8):

• diameter 2 m: 2 blades - 10 watts, 3 blades - 15 watts, 4 blades - 20 watts, 6 blades - 30 watts, 8 blades - 40 watts;
• diameter 4 m: 2 blades - 40 watts, 3 blades - 60 watts, 4 blades - 80 watts, 6 blades - about 120 watts.

In principle, as the diameter increases, the dependence is not quite linear, but general idea gives. To get 500 watts at a wind speed of 4 m per second, the diameter of the wind wheel for 2 blades is 14 m, 3 blades is 11.48 m, 4 blades is 9.94.

• Why is 4 meters per second chosen for the calculation?

As a rule, for middle lane In Russia, this indicator is the ceiling for average monthly values. For example, for Moscow and the region, the average monthly wind speed during 2012 generally fluctuates around 2.5 m/s. So when choosing wind power generator you should first take an interest in the statistics in the region, and then calculate whether it is worth straining, but if there is available materials and nodes, then why not make such a device.

Now about the blades - the most crucial moment. Sailing blades (like old windmills) have low efficiency, so you need aerodynamic blades, like an airplane wing.

You can even carve them out of wood, although many craftsmen cut plastic pipe. But here there are nuances.
With a small number of blades, they are more difficult to balance and, moreover, vibrations are possible. A wind wheel with 2-3 blades is a high-speed, line speed in strong wind at the end of the blade it can reach up to 200 m/s (the Makarov pistol bullet is 400 m/s, and the speed of the Saint-Etienne dueling pistol of the 1835 model is 168 m/s).

Plastic is a brittle material and can break into pieces in the presence of vibration. high speed. Therefore, it is best to use more “low-speed” wind wheels with 6 blades and a diameter of 2-3 meters to make a wind generator with your own hands.

Wind generator

And for their manufacture to take pvc pipe for pressure water pipes with a wall thickness of 4 mm. We cut out the blades, grind its edges and grind to obtain the required aerodynamic characteristics.

• Then a "star" is made from sheet steel to assemble the propeller.

After mounting the blades, the wind wheel must be balanced. To do this, it is installed in indoors on a vertical support with the axis level strictly horizontal and ensure that the wheel does not arbitrarily turn at any position of the blades, otherwise vibrations will occur.

Simultaneously with balancing, the position of the blades in space relative to the vertical is checked. For this, a fixed reference is used at the lower (or upper) point, determining the distance from this point to each blade when it is opposite it.

Unfortunately, without the use of a factory-made electric generator or a DC motor, it will not be possible to make a wind generator.

Theoretically, it can be made, but why ... You can always find and buy a low-speed DC motor with permanent magnets and voltage up to 100 V. You can also install an automobile, but it requires high speed, and hence the gearbox. You can choose a bike motor that has a maximum power of 250 watts at 200 rpm, at 24 V (enough with a margin).

After the propeller and the choice of the generator, it is necessary to make a frame with robust design(after all, the "plane" on a leash).
Then make a swivel assembly attached to the frame and carrying the wind wheel and generator, with a brush current collector (if it is possible to pick up a factory one, it is better to use it).

And to protect against hurricane winds, install a movable side shovel with a spring tie on the hinge. In strong winds, there will not be enough spring force to align the shovel perpendicular to the blades. And the force of the wind will simply turn the blades along the direction of the wind. At normal speed flow, the spring will turn the blades perpendicular to the shovel.

It remains to assemble the structure: the propeller to the generator, the generator to the frame, the frame to the frame, a shovel is attached to it on a stretch, the frame to turning mechanism, the generator to the current collector, and already from it there are wires to the electrical part.

The whole structure is mounted on a mast.

Electrical part wind generator the simplest: the diode bridge through the fuses and the voltage controller is connected to the battery, and the voltage is distributed further from it. Constant - for powering devices with the appropriate type of power supply. A voltage converter is used to obtain alternating current.

The electric generator is the main element of an autonomous power plant. If there is no electricity in your private house or cottage, you are wondering how you can fix this problem yourself?

Maybe, great solution will purchase an electric generator in trading network. But the cost of even low-power models starts at 15,000 rubles, so you need to look for another way out. It turns out he is. It is quite possible to assemble an electric generator with your own hands, and connect it.

This will take a little. Skills in handling tools and knowledge of the basics of electrical engineering. The main engine of the process will be your desire, which is a time-consuming and responsible procedure. An additional incentive will be the possibility of saving a large number Money.

Do-it-yourself power generators for the home: ways to implement

A bit of theory. The basis for the occurrence of an electric current in a conductor is the electromotive force. Its appearance occurs as a result of exposure to the conductor, changing magnetic field. The magnitude of the electromotive force depends on the rate of change of the flux of magnetic waves. This effect underlies the creation of synchronous and asynchronous electrical machines. Therefore, it is not difficult to convert a current generator into an electric motor and vice versa.

For country house or suburban area DC generator is used extremely rarely. It can be used in a special version for welding machine. Basically, its scope extends to industry. The alternator is designed to generate electricity in large quantities, so in the country or in country cottage it will be an excellent alternative to central power supply. Therefore, to create an alternator at home, we will do the conversion of an asynchronous electric motor with our own hands. The principle of operation of an alternator is to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. An example of an elementary electrical generator can be seen in the video.

Such unique way receiving light is very interesting. Having slightly improved it, we get the opportunity to provide ourselves with lighting on a hike or in nature. The only condition is that you will have to ride a bicycle, taking a small but necessary device.

AT this case to obtain a rotating electromagnetic field of the conductor, we start the engine. Often an internal combustion engine is used. Fuel burning in the combustion chamber gives a reciprocating motion to the piston, which through the connecting rod causes the crankshaft to rotate. He, in turn, transmits rotational motion to the generator rotor, which, moving in the magnetic field of the stator, generates an electric current at the output.

The alternator consists of the following parts:

• body part made of steel or cast iron, which acts as a frame for mounting the stator and rotor bearing assemblies, a casing to protect the entire internal stuffing from mechanical damage;
• ferromagnetic stator with magnetic flux excitation winding;
• movable part (rotor) with a self-excited winding, the shaft of which is driven by an external force;
• a switching unit that serves to remove electricity from a moving rotor using graphite current-collecting contacts.

The fundamental components of an alternator, regardless of the amount of fuel consumed and engine power, are the rotor and stator. The first creates a magnetic field, and the second generates it.

Unlike synchronous generators having complex structure and lower productivity, the asynchronous analog has a whole list of significant advantages:

1. Higher efficiency, losses are 2 times lower than those of synchronous generators.
2. The simplicity of the case does not reduce its functionality. It reliably protects the stator and rotor from moisture and used oil, which increases the overhaul period.
3. Resistant to voltage drops, in addition, the rectifier installed at the output protects electrical appliances from damage.
4. It is possible to supply power to high-sensitivity devices with an ohmic load.
5. Durable. The service life is calculated in tens of years.

The main components of an electric generator are a system of coils and a system of electromagnets (or other magnetic system).

The principle of operation of an electric generator is to convert rotational mechanical energy into electrical energy.

The system of magnets creates a magnetic field, and the system of coils rotates in it, turning it into an electric field.

In addition, the generator system includes a voltage tapping system that connects the generator itself to current consuming devices.

One of the most simple ways is to use an asynchronous generator.

To create an electric generator, we need two main elements: asynchronous generator and a 2-cylinder petrol engine.

The gasoline engine must be air-cooled, 8 horsepower and 3000 rpm.

An ordinary electric motor with a power of up to 15 kW and a speed of 750 to 1500 rpm will act as an asynchronous generator.

The frequency of rotation of the asynchronous for normal operation must be higher than the synchronous number of revolutions used electric motor by 10 percent.

That's why asynchronous motor you need to spin up to a speed of 5-10 percent above the nominal. How can this be done?

We proceed as follows: we turn on the electric motor in the network, after which we measure the idle speed with a tachometer.

What is meant? Consider the example of an engine whose rated speed is 900 rpm.

Such an engine, when idling, will produce 1230 rpm.

Thus, in the case of the given data, the belt drive must be designed to provide the generator speed, and equal to 1353 rpm.

The windings of our asynchronous are connected by a "star". They work out three-phase voltage, with a power of 380 V.

In order to maintain the rated voltage in the asynchronous circuit, it is necessary to correctly select the capacitance of the capacitors between the phases.

The containers, there are only three of them, are the same.

If heating is felt, this means that the connected capacitance is too large.

To select the required capacity for each phase, you can use the following data, based on the power of the generator:

• 2 kW - capacitance 60 uF
• 3.5 kW - capacitance 100 uF
• 5 kW - 138 uF
• 7 kW - 182 uF
• 10 kW - 245 uF
• 15 kW - 342 uF

For operation, capacitors with an operating voltage of at least 400 V can be used. When you turn off the generator, an electric charge remains on its capacitors.

Obviously, this means a certain degree of danger of the work being carried out. To avoid defeat electric shock precautions must be taken.

The generator allows you to work with hand power tools.

To do this, you will need a transformer from 380 V to 220 V. When connecting 3 phase motor to the power plant may come out so that the generator will not be able to start it the first time.

This is not scary - it is enough to make a series of short-term engine starts.

They need to be produced until the engine picks up speed.

Another option is to unroll it manually.

The second option to make a 220 \ 380 V electric generator on your own is to use a walk-behind tractor as a base.

The walk-behind tractor is very widely used for plowing and cleaning suburban areas - but this is far from the limit of its useful uses.

As it turned out, and was confirmed by the experience of a huge number of people, it helps to solve the problem with electricity in houses and outbuildings where it is not connected.

We need a walk-behind tractor and an asynchronous electric motor, the speed of which will be from 800 to 1600 rpm, and power - up to 15 kW.

The motoblock engine and the asynchronous motor must be connected. This is done by using 2 pulleys and a drive belt.

Pulley diameter is important. Namely, it must be such as to ensure that the generator speed is exceeded by 10-15% of the nominal speed value in the electric motor.

In parallel to each pair of windings, we turn on the capacitors. Thus, they will form a triangle.

Voltage must be removed between the end of the winding and its midpoint. As a result, we get a voltage of 380 V between the windings, and a voltage of 220 V between the middle and end of the winding.

After that, you need to select capacitors that will ensure the correct start-up and operation of the generator.

Remember that all three generators have the same capacity.

The relationship between generator power and required capacity is as follows:

• 2 kW - capacitance 60 uF
• 3.5 kW - capacitance 100 uF
• 5 kW - 140 uF
• 7 kW - 180 uF
• 10 kW - 250 uF
• 15 kW - 350 uF

It may be sufficient for you to use just one capacitor for the required loads. Other conditions must be selected in practice independently.

A do-it-yourself electric generator can be used, among other things, for heating a private house or cottage.

In this case, you will need a more powerful gasoline engine, for example, from passenger car, which can be bought at the disassembly.

Connecting an electric generator to a private house how to produce?

1. turn off the electricity in the house;
2. start and warm up the generator;
3. connect the generator to the network;
4. watch for the appearance of a normal power supply;
5. disconnect the generator from the backup network and turn it off (before that, turn off all working electrical appliances in the house).

Be careful: if you perform these steps in the wrong order, the generator may turn on on the contrary, which will cause a breakdown.

Choosing a generator for the home

To determine what generator power you should choose, you need to evaluate the entire active type of loads.

It takes into account all the light bulbs, electric kettle, microwave, heaters, power tools. That is, all the devices that you plan to use.

For example, if you are going to use a couple of appliances and a few more light bulbs, you should add up the total power they consume.

So, for a situation where you need to make 6 100W light bulbs shine, work oil heater with a power of 1.5 kilowatts and a microwave oven of the same power, the calculation is as follows: 1.5x2 + 600 (100 W for 6 lamps) = 3.6 kilowatts.

It is this power (or a little more) of the generator that you need.

And also you can watch the video of the electric generator with your own hands
