Now find even quieter diesel generators on www.Generators.co www.EmergencyPower.com www.AuroraGenerators.com www.Generators.to - Discussion Forums Remote Start Silent Diesel Generator 6500 Watt - Aurora makes the highest quality available anyplace. Perfect for emergency home power generation. They call them "quiet" but that's because in comparison to traditional open frame type generators they make a lot less noise. Today the 2010 and 2011 models have EPA Tier 4 approval. Because of this they produce no smoke and burn much less fuel. On average 3.9 gallon fuel tank lasts up to 12 hours.

Question by Tiffany: How can you make an electric generator?
I own 5 acres of property. Other then my gas generator, I don't have electricity on it. I have a travel trailer on it with an electric fridge and I love camping there. In Home Depot, I have seen a converter that you hook up to your car battery and I have also seen what appears to be an electric generator. I asked someone at Home Depot how long the "electric generator" would run a small fridge. He told me it wouldn't be a long time, but suggested using a marine battery with a converer. I am thinking I could purchase several batteries, a converter and a battery charger. Does that sound like somethink that might work?
I do have a 5000 watt gas generator on my property. I just don't want to have to run it all the time if I am camping for several days or a week at a time. We all know the prices of gas these days.

The 'electric generator' you are describing is just a battery. A true electric generator converts motion (kinetic energy) into electricity. The converter probably changes the electricity from DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current).

Question by rj: regarding jacks answer to "how to use generator".?
in response to jacks answer to my previos question regarding how to use generator: my generator has what i call a throttle adjustment which allows me to idle it up, or slow it done to a lower idle. its just like that of a lawn mower. that is what i was talking about when i was talking about throttle speed. it goes from slow to run, therefore prompting me to think maybe i could just run it slower for lighter loads in order to save gas.

You have a wierd generator. Most generators adjust speed automaticly as the load increases or decreases to meet demand....maybe your automatic governor is not working????

Question by Eden's Rain: How can you tell if your motorcycle ('06 GSX-R600) needs a new alternator (aka: "generator")?
I just bought a brand new battery three months ago and had the dealership install it. Things were great until I noticed my bike was having a difficult time starting. Eventually it wouldn't start at all. It was acting as if the battery had died. Well, I hooked the battery up to a charging unit I own in hopes of charging the battery. It appeared as if it was working, but not for long. Now, today, I hooked it up the charger to start it, got it started, and noticed something - while the bike was running (in neutral and on it's stand), my headlights were very dim. I even gave the bike a little gas (thinking it would increase the brightness) and nothing. So, I turned on the high beams and sure enough, the bike's engine died. I'm concluding that it's not the battery and that it's the bike's alternator (which I just found out is called the "generator" on motorcycles). I'd hate to spend a bunch of money on a diagnostics when I could simply apply that money towards repair work. HELP!!! And thanks.

It is actually referred to as a stator. Three seperate windings which are surrounded by a spinning permenant magnet attatched to the end of the crankshaft.
Is the battery connections tight? Sounds stupid, but check it. You may be suprised.
A quick, easy and basic test is with the headlamp set on bright, it should become brighter as you rev the bike from idle to 4K. Shine it against a wall in dim light, the change should be very noticeable.
Bear in mind that todays batteries are crap as well, so it may very well be a bad battery. Regardless or how new it is. Or how much you paid for it.
The proper way is to hook a volt meter to the +/- on the battery. Test with key off, key on, voltage drop when starting and highest reading at idle, then @ 4K rpm's. You should see something like 12.4, 12.1, 10.2, 12.9, and then 13.5 during the previous mentioned testing stages. Any failure for the voltage to rise 1.2 volts over static value would indicate a charging failure. A battery voltage drop while of less than 10V would indicate a weak or shot battery.
If the battery is good, given what you have indicated, typical failed components include a bad stator, regulator/rectifier unit, faulty wiring connections, or all three. The permenant magnet almost never is an issue. Check all connections to the reg/rect unit, the stator AND to the battery.
Given the age of your bike, i would stongly suspect either a bad battery or poor connections at the battery terminals.

This little 2000 watt generator is great! Extremely portable, you can easily plop it in your trunk or even in the passenger area floor since it's so small, and take it with you, and it has a 1.1 gallon tank which is supposed to last for 4 hours at rated load and something like 12 […]
This little 2000 watt generator is great! Extremely portable, you can easily plop it in your trunk or even in the passenger area floor since it's so small, and take it with you, and it has a 1.1 gallon tank which is supposed to last for 4 hours at rated load and something like 12 hours at 1/4 load (500 watts). WOW is it easy to start, the pull cord has very little resistance, and it's SOOOO quiet!!! Honda did an absolutely amazing job with the muffler system, I have no idea how but it's truly the quietest generator BY far that I've ever heard.
