Aging US Power Grid USA TODAY The nation's power system may be showing its age. Recent heat wave-related blackouts in California and New York are at least partly being blamed on creaky transformers, circuit breakers and cables. And smaller outages in cities such as Detroit, Chicago and Houston will be investigated to see if aging parts played a role, says Stan Johnson of the North American Electric Reliability Council.

Preventing Electrocutions Associated with Portable Generators Plugged Into Household Circuits When power lines are down, residents can restore energy to their homes or other structures by using another power source such as a portable generator. If water has been present anywhere near electrical circuits and electrical equipment, turn off the power at the main breaker or fuse on the service panel. Do not turn the power back on until electrical equipment has been inspected by a qualified electrician.

American Red Cross ~ Generators information, developed by the Red Cross with technical advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Fire Protection Association (publisher of the National Electric Code ®) and the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is provided to address questions about using a generator when disaster strikes.

Portable Electric Generator Safety Tips Portable electric generators offer great benefits when outages affect your home. Below are guidelines for safely connecting and operating portable generators. Additional information is available about selecting and purchasing generators.

Portable Generator Hazards Portable generators are useful when temporary or remote electric power is needed, but they also can be hazardous. The primary hazards to avoid when using a generator are carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from the toxic engine exhaust, electric shock or electrocution, and fire. Every year, people die in incidents related to portable generator use. Most of the incidents associated with portable generators reported to CPSC involve CO poisoning from generators used indoors or in partially-enclosed spaces.

NASD- Standby Electric Generators An emergency source of power is important for any farm with mechanically ventilated production facilities, bulk milk handling equipment, mechanical feeding equipment or facilities requiring constant and continuous heat (such as brooders). On such a farm, a standby electric generator is a good investment, possibly preventing costly losses during a power failure.

PowerPedia-Motionless Electrical Generator - PESWiki The Motionless Electrical Generator (MEG) is an electromagnetic generator without moving parts which includes a permanent magnet and a magnetic core including first and second magnetic paths. The MEG is alternatively pulsed to provide induced output current pulses.

Portable Electric Generators Blackouts, brownouts and storm-related power outages can really disrupt your daily routine. Installing a backup generator may seem like a great idea, but it is not that easy. The backup generators have to be connected very carefully to your electrical system.

Generating interest in standby power sources | ajc.com Jon Spiers thought his home was sitting pretty after Hurricane Katrina's storm surge knocked out electrical power for miles around his Ocean Springs, Miss., home. After all, he had not one but two portable generators filled with fresh gas and ready to go when authorities sounded the all clear for Spiers and his family to return home. But when the evacuee pulled the starter cords, neither generator fired up. Both had been submerged and the fuel supplies fouled.

Energy Family Part 1 - Off The Grid - Popular Mechanics Energy independence is a compelling concept these days, not just for nations but for individual homeowners as well. But it's not easy to achieve. My wife, Penny, and I have spent the past eight years living on 40 rolling acres of northern Vermont in a house that's not connected to the electrical grid. We run a fairly labor-intensive mix of solar panels, a gas-powered generator, propane tanks and a wood stove to meet our energy needs. Our system has become more efficient over the years, though there's still room for improvement.

Select the Right Portable Generator after a Disaster - VCE Power outages can leave a home without power for lighting, cooking, refrigeration and pumping water. Portable generators can be bought to provide substitute power. However, the generator must be properly sized to start the appliances and equipment you want to run.

Don't discount a generator, especially a diesel generator, as your primary power source An independent energy system that uses a generator as its primary power source can be efficient and cost-effective in its initial setup. The key is to make it part of a system instead of a sole source of power.

About Lead Acid Batteries Generally Short, but interesting, article.

How Generators Work

AC Motors and Generators (Nice Graphics) The turning of a coil in a magnetic field produces motional emfs in both sides of the coil which add. Since the component of the velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field changes sinusoidally with the rotation, the generated voltage is sinusoidal or AC. This process can be described in terms of Faraday's law when you see that the rotation of the coil continually changes the magnetic flux through the coil and therefore generates a voltage.

How an Electric Generator Works Short article, really cool animation.

Electrical generator - Wikipedia An electrical generator is a device that produces electrical energy from a mechanical energy source using electromagnetic induction. The process is known as electricity generation.

Molecular Expressions- Electricity and Magnetism - Generators and ... Simple D.C. generators contain several parts, including an armature (or rotor), a commutator, brushes, and field winding. A variety of sources can supply mechanical energy to the D.C. generator to turn its armature. The commutator changes the alternating current (A.C.) into direct current as it flows through the armature.

Make a Solar Power Generator for Less Than $300

Build a generator from a lawn-edger motor. This generator was built using a 3 horse power Briggs and Stratton horizontal shaft motor, a GM 65 amp automotive alternator (with built in voltage regulator), a used car battery, a pulley and V-belt, a 12 volt cigarette lighter outlet box with fuse, a DC to AC power converter, a low voltage control switch, a scrap of 3/4" plywood, a few scraps of 2 x 4 lumber, 4 wheels, and two battery cables. We also used a custom designed bracket manufactured for Epicenter to make it all come together in a snap. Better presentation can be found at Home Brew Power- Building your own generator.

Induction Generator Within every home in America there are motors that can be operated as generators. They may not be labeled as generators, but they will function just the same. These motors are often called "squirrel cage motors" and are in washing machines, dryers, water pumps and other devices too numerous to mention. Besides being numerous and cheap, they will generate AC voltage of the purest sine wave. They use no brushes and do not produce any RFI. (Radio Frequency Interference) A motor converted to an induction generator will power fluorescent and incandescent lights, televisions, VCR's, stereo sets, electric drills, small power saws and other items.

Build Your Own 12vdc Generator  [PDF] This small, easy to build, engine/alternator is the answer to a burning RE question. What do we do when the sun doesn’t shine, the wind doesn’t blow, and the creek dries up? This generator is a backup power source for times when our RE sources don’t meet our demands. It is optimized to do only one thing — properly recharge batteries on demand.

Science fair project- Ultra-simple Electric Generator, spinning ... This is an AC electric generator which lights up a tiny incandescent light bulb. The generator is made from a hollow-ended cardboard box with a nail through the center. The box has many turns of fine copper wire wound around it, with four large magnets clamped around the nail. When the nail and magnets are spun fast by hand, the little light bulb lights up dimly. See also: Homopolar Generator, HPG, Faraday Disk

Pedal Generator Some investigation was done by Alex Weir on suitable automotive (car) generator for use with 4-man pedal system. The Bosch 9 120 690 170 - a 55 amp alternator-generator appears suitable. Driving speed would have to be approx 3500 rpm, which is attainable by using 60 rpm drive through bicycle sprockets to a 200 rpm payshaft with a 600 mm diameter driver pulley and 'eaton vee belting' hollow flexible plastic belt drive to a 35mm wooden or similar pulley.

Diesel

Why Use Diesel? Advantages and Benefits In today's world, where fuel prices are increasing as a consequence of spiraling demand and diminishing supply, you need to choose a cost effective fuel to meet your needs. Thanks to the invention of Rudolph Diesel, the diesel engine has proved to be extremely efficient and cost effective. Diesel fuel is less expensive compared with gasoline because it goes through a shorter refining process. And, diesel has a higher energy density, i.e. more energy can be extracted from diesel as compared with the same volume of gasoline. Therefore, diesel engines in automobiles provide higher mileage, making it an obvious choice for heavy-duty transportation and equipment. Diesel is heavier and oilier compared with gasoline, and has a boiling point higher than that of water. And diesel engines are attracting greater attention due to higher efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Diesel generator power is a sensible choice, especially when integrated into the total system. Powering your homestead with free, non-polluting power from the sun or from a hydro-electric system is the ideal way to go. But for some of us, solar isn’t feasible. Some folks live where the sun rarely shows its face throughout the four or five coldest months of the year, coincidentally when we need the most power. Others operate home workshops and/or businesses that require more power than any affordable solar array could possibly develop. For those folks, diesel power can be a viable and efficient option.

CPSC and FEMA Warning of Gasoline-Powered Generators The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have joined forces to warn residents not to use gasoline-powered generators or charcoal grills indoors or in attached garages because of the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. "If you want to use a gasoline-powered generator when the power goes out, set it up outside in a dry area, away from air intakes to the home," said CPSC Chairman Hal Stratton. "And never use a charcoal grill inside because you risk being poisoned by deadly carbon monoxide. Opening doors and windows or operating fans to ventilate is inadequate and unsafe. Even with a CO alarm, you should never use a gasoline- powered generator or a charcoal grill inside."

Natural Gas & LP

Emergency Natural Gas Generator We live in a rural area and it is not unusual to lose power for several hours or even days at a time. Without electrical power I can get stuck outside because I had to have an elevator to get upstairs and down. We have a natural gas connection in front of our house so we installed a natural gas generator to provide power when we lose electricity. The generator cost around $2,500 and the electrician and Generac Transfer Switch was about $2,500 more. We installed it in 2001.

Bicycle Powered Generator I skim a few Usenet newsgroups daily, among them misc.survivalism and alt.energy.homepower. Frequently posters on these two groups will inquire about generating electricity using a stationary bike coupled to some sort of generator. Most replies are to the effect that while it's possible to do this, the amount of power output by such a rig when pedaled by the average person wouldn't be worth the effort. I wasn't convinced that this idea was a lost cause. I decided to build one and see how well it worked...

Pedal Powered Generator: Every morning, I pedal to generate electricity. The Pedal Generator charges batteries, that run an inverter, that produces 110v AC, that powers LED lights, the monitor on my computer, and many other small battery-powered things. It is the most inspiring workout you can imagine.

Steward Community Woodland - How to build a cycle generator This is NOT a set of step-by-step instructions for a specific design. We have built quite a few cycle powered generators, each one is different, based on what bits we had available. This guide is intended to give you pointers and pass on some of what we have learnt, but ultimately it is your ingenuity and the materials and tools available to you that will dictate the design.

Safely Installing Your Standby Generator Even small, portable electric generators - if they’re used improperly - can threaten you safety and the safety of power company linemen working on the electrical system.

HONDA Generator Owner's Manuals To get an owner's manual for your generator, first determine the model name. All Honda generators have a model name with a prefix that starts with "E" such as EB500, EU1000i, or EG5000. The model name is usually on the case, fuel tank, or near the control panel. Shop manuals will cost you. Owner's Manuals are free.

Home Generators Guide A device that can supply electricity to the whole house during power outages is casually referred to as home generator. Technically speaking, an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electric energy. The AC power generators for residential applications utilize engines (motors) to produce the mechanical energy- the engine creates alternating magnetic field through a coil, which induces electromotive force. (Since such devices include mounted together an engine and a generator the more accurate term for them is engine-generator set or a genset).

Select the Right Portable Generator after a Disaster Power outages can leave a home without power for lighting, cooking, refrigeration and pumping water. Portable generators can be bought to provide substitute power. However, the generator must be properly sized to start the appliances and equipment you want to run.

Power Calculators courtesy of MacFarland Generators: These online calculators will assist you in determining what size generator you may require or how to convert one unit of electricity to another.
