A Stirling engine generator is less powerful than a combustion engine, but more ecologically sustainable. It operates on heat exchange. There are many types of Stirling engines.

How much electric power you can take from a 5KW generator?
5000 Watts if it runs ideally. It really depends on the generator's efficiency. Lets say, if its working on 80% efficiency, it'll provide with 0.8 * 5000 watts of electric power.
How much power a generator of 14 kilowatts produce?
I work on pools , BUT don't take me lightly , I know alot about my generators , I have 3 back at home . I have a 1000009 GW generator that I found in a field , I use it alot for powering my kettle , Thats all I can pretty much power ... Its not that powerful to be honest .
Why the transfermer rating is in KVA where as generator rating is KW?
Transformers are rated based on the amount of current flowing through them, irrespective of whether the current is in phase with the voltage or not, thus KVA. When it comes to generators, what the owner is interested in is how much real power the generator can deliver (watts). Most generators are rated at a specific real power and a power factor (often .95).
What is loss of excitation in generators?
A loss of excitation will cause the generator to start drawing more and more reactive power over time. Over the first few seconds, and until about thirty seconds after the LOE (depending on the load on the generator before the loss of excitation occurred), active power will stay relatively constant, but reactive power will continue to be absorbed from the rest of the system, and voltage levels will drop. Eventually, the magnetic field between the stator and rotor degrades too much, pole slipping and loss of synchronism will occur. At this point, catastrophic damage will likely have been done to the generator.
What RPM and size generator would power an average us home?
A typical 100 amp service is comparable to a 25 KVA generator. That said, very few homes pull that much load. Most utilities size their distribution systems for a 5 KVA load per home, assuming that not all homes would pull full load at the same time. RPM is a function of the number of poles in the generator. To get 60 Hz power with a two pole generator, you need 1,800 RPM.
Where are stirling generators cheapest?
Stirling generators can be purchased from multiple online dealers that refurbish parts. The refurbished part is much cheaper price than a new stirling generator.
When was the Stirling engine invented?
It was invented in 1816 by Robert Stirling. You can find much more information about stirling engines and carnot cycles on Wikipedia.
Are stirling engine generators environmentally friendly?
Stirling engine generators are environmentally friendly. The cooling fluid they use in them is helium and not freon. They are much more efficient in how they operate as well.
What is the difference between a commercial power generator and a regular power generator?
The difference between a commercial power generator and a regular power generator is that a commercial one is much expensive than the regular one. It's much better to purchase the regular generator if your not planning to use it for business purposes.
Is generator power better than my normal electric power?
Your normal electric power is made to power all of your household. A generator requires much more maintenance, so if you have the option of using normal electric power, there is much less hassle. The generator can be kept for emergencies.
What is the price range when purchasing a power generator?
The price range when purchasing a power generator depends a great deal on the size of a generator. A small generator for the garage can be purchased for $100.00 while a large industrial generator can cost as much as $30,000.00.
Is an electric power generator safer than a natural gas powered generator?
You can purchase an electric power generator, but it won't do you much good if the electric goes out. A kerosene or deisel generator would be a better choice.
How does a Chinese diesel generator work?
A chinese diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine with an electrical generator (often called an alternator) to generate electric energy. Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to the power grid or as emergency power-supply if the grid fails. A Chinese generator is pretty much the same as a regular generator. Besides the fact that it is made in China there isn't a big difference in how they function.
How much can you power on a 1600 generator?
If the 1600 represents 1600 watts like most generator numbers do, then the generator can deliver enough power to run a 1600 watt load connected to it.
How do you properly install a wind power generator and how much does it typically cost?
To properly install a wind power generator, it will typically cost around 40,000 dollars to install a generator that is large enough to power the entire home.
How much is a wind power generator?
The cost of installing a home wind power generator depends on the kilowatt it produces. A 1 kilowatt wind power generator usually costs $3000-$7000. A 7 kilowatt wind power generator costs $20,000-$40,000. The more kilowatt it produces, the more costly it is.
How much current will take a starter initially to start a generator?
This depends on many factors, such as the size of the generator engine, for example. It is basically like the starter motor on a car engine.
