Can you take a 12000 watt gas powered generator and replace the gas engine with a electric motor to run the generator?
A 15 KW generator won't likely run everything in your house, but besides that it is not efficient. You will be using more electricity to run the generator than the power would deliver. You also defeat the reason for the generator - run your house when power goes out. Now if you had a wind turbine turning a generator you have a positive contribution to house power. This is how wind power works. There are also lots of issues associated with a power transfer switch and feeding power back into the grid.
What else can I help you with?
What devices use magnets to create electricity?
An electrical generator. A microphone. A jet engine vibration detector. It has a magnet moving inside a bobbin with wire wrapped around it. An electric guitar pick up. A tape recorder head. A solar powered Sterling engine. The piston is a magnet and it passes through a coil. A few more.
Is a lawnmower an internal combustion engine?
If the lawnmower is not electric powered then is is probably operated by an internal combustion engine (petrol or diesel. Oddly enough, very early lawnmowers were steam powered, which means they were examples of external combustion engines.
How do you start a dead power generator?
A generator needs some kind of engine to drive it, it won't start by itself.
How much hp on toro cr20e snowblower?
The Toro CR20E snowblower is powered by a 60V brushless DC electric motor, which translates to approximately 2-3 HP in terms of traditional gas engine power. The focus with electric motors is more on torque rather than horsepower.
What is best lubricating oil for propane powered emergency generators?
Synthetic oils are generally recommended for propane-powered emergency generators due to their ability to offer enhanced protection and performance in extreme operating conditions. Look for oils specifically formulated for use in high-temperature and high-stress applications to ensure optimal lubrication and engine longevity. It's important to consult the generator's manual and manufacturer recommendations to select the most suitable lubricating oil for your specific model.
What are examples of mechanical to electrical energy?
A steam turbine/generator in a power station, a small gasoline powered generator, or a 12v alternator in your car driven by the engine.
What is the combination that the hybrid cars made of?
combustion engine and an electric battery gas powered and electric powered
How does a hybrid car gets its power?
a hybrid is just that, a hybrid. it has a generator and a petroleum engine. the petrol powered engine starts and as it works it charges the electric one. when you brake this charges the electric one even more. once you drive at a constant speed (freeway) the electric engine will engage and thus save fuel.
How does a generator get its energie?
Depends on what type of generator you are talking about. A Generator in an older car uses energy from the engine to produce electricity. New cars use alternators. A generator for a house can use Natural Gas, Propane, Diesel, Gasoline, or just about any combustible fluid. There are also wind and hydro electric powered generators.
What is a automobile powered by?
Most are powered by an Internal Combustion engine either gasoline, diesel, or electric motors.
Does a hybrid car use a motor?
Yes, it has one electric motor and one gas powered engine. The engine creates electric power to turn the electric motor.
What parts are involved in converting electric scooter to gas?
Exchanging an electric scooter into a gas-powered scooter generally involves replacing the whole of the engine to a gas-powered engine. The only exception is a gas-powered fuel cell, which maintains the scooter's electric usage, but uses a fuel cell to generate the electricity.
Is there an electric enigine powered Tahoe?
There is a Hybrid Tahoe. It's got a gasoline engine and an electric motor. As far as a Tahoe that doesn't have a gas engine...no.
What are major types of trains?
The three major types of trains are steam, electric, and diesel. Steam: The locomotive is powered by steam pressure. Traditionally, it is created by heating water using a coal-powered boiler. The boiler usually made up most of the locomotive. Electric: The locomotive is powered directly from an electric source to power it's electric engine. Either from an overhead wire or third rail that are both charged with high voltage power. Diesel: The locomotive is powered using diesel fuel to power the locomotive engine or prime mover. A common use of this fuel is diesel-electric. This is where the prime mover powers a generator that stores electric power that is then sent to electric motors known as "traction motors" mounted on each train axle that turn the wheels.
What are U- joints used for in cars?
in between the power generator and unit to be powered, if the power generator is higher or lower than unit to be powered. in this case in between the engine and the wheels because the engine in stationary and the drive train (wheels) move up and down, u-joints allow for this movement.
Where can I buy a home electric power generator?
The most common backup generator in the United States is the portable type powered by a small gas engine. Yet, there's more to using one of these than wheeling it outside and firing it up. The key to using a generator safely is preparedness. Size it adequately, plan where and how you'll use it, then test run the machine.
Does an electric car have an engine, and if so, how does it differ from a traditional gasoline-powered engine?
An electric car does not have a traditional engine like a gasoline-powered car. Instead, it has an electric motor that runs on electricity stored in a battery. This motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to power the car, making it more environmentally friendly and efficient compared to a gasoline engine.
