You are very welcome. By the way I will have a video of my HydroBelt showing how I can use the power of moving water in rivers to turn a generator.in about a month from now.
Well generally we don't have Capacitors in generators until the power goes into the rectifiers. I know some people charge capacitors with atmospheric voltage from an antenna but that is a very low power energy source unless hit by a lightning bolt. Let me know if you have any other questions. I will be putting more videos about my HydroBelt and my Obstruction Turbine that will provide all the electricity the world needs.
Thanks, and your welcome. I like teaching what I've learned. I'm an Electronic Technician so if anyone has a request on a topic for new video let me know and If I can I will.
@merbouhe laid79 I don't know what happened, I thought maybe you were able to figure it out on your own but at least I figured out that your generator speed was too slow... I think unless there was something else.
What about turning a 2.5 volt Dynamo from a vintage marklin stationary steam engine that I'd like to at least keep it mostly orginal but I would like to up grade the generator to increase the power output up to 12volts with the small strongest magnets in the world just to produce 12 volts to hook it up to a semi or car inverter to make 120 volts ik and I understand that it's a lot of work to do to up grade a vintage toy to make that much electric
The thing about messing with a generator that was designed to work a certain way, unless the engineer is an idiot you can change the voltage up or down but the power always stays the same because by reducing the wire size you can increase the voltage but that reduces the current so you are still at the same power level.
No wonder stronger magnets in neodymium motor driven subwoofer look small but really has very high output to conventional magnets, as neodymium is over 10x stronger flux!
Sir 1 question please. If my mini generator motor have smaller wire and If I turn it to bigger wire and same turns, does it gives me more power? Thanks
That is a very good question because the answer is yes it gives you more power because the bigger the wire the lower the resistance which means more current can travel through the wire and the more current the more power Power = V * I so the more I the more power. I am sorry I can't give you a better answer right now cause I have to go to work in a few hours but I will give you a better answer later.
OMG I COULD KISS YOU!!!! Thank you so much for that simply yet extremely helpful information. I have been writing on a crazy project that I'm not even sure will work but this explains some of the things I need to do. I hope I don't sound too stupid by asking this but how do I increase the Amps as well. Would the amps increase with the voltage as I increase magnet size and strength as well as increasing RPM?
Thank you and yes current increases with bigger magnets. As a matter of fact, you can discover many new and better generator designs by a study of that same formula I was talking about. Increasing current or amps as you put it is just one part of the power equation, you see Power = Current x Voltage, so you see you can not separate Current from power because it's all related. I know you can use Algebra to solve for Current but it gets more complicated, I could do it but I would have to get paid :) but anyway I think what you would be looking for is How to increase current and not a formula. You are on the right track with more powerful magnets just remem ber: 1) Stronger magnets 2) moving the magnets over the coils faster and 3) increasing the number of turns of the coils of wire.
@@mark8664 thank you so much for your time and knowledge. You have helped me so much. The reason I talk about amps is because that is how the power coming into your home is measured.

I am glad to help. Your questions are good for other people too because they can also learn from your questions. 400 volts at 120 Hz, what a great generator. Normally we have to go faster to get that much voltage.

Hi there I've got a petrol generator 5.5kv and I have a motor on my large mixing machine with 4kw but on start up it needs over100 amps for a split second to get it going so my generator cuts out is there a way I can adapt my generator to work or is this a bad buy I've made I hope you can help it was a lot of money for me thanks for the video very interesting
After giving it some thought I think I understand, it would seem to me that you have your mixing machine under too heavy a load, if you make sure that your machine is empty before you start it it might fix the problem, otherwise you could use a clutch to engage the mixing machine with the motor. Also, I did a few calculations and it turns out that if you are using 220 VAC a 4K watt motor normally uses about 18 amps, and if the currant increases to 100 amps that would mean that your 4K watt motor now becomes an 22K watt motor and your generator is not enough.

I can tell you know enough about generators to be dangerous. To thoroughly answer your question I would have to write a book to explain all the parts of such a generator, however, I will touch on a couple of the problems regarding it. To build a generator that matches the power grid is very difficult because you have to design the speed of the generator to ALWAYS be at the same speed as the power grid and that can be very hard to do because the motor that is driving the generator has to turn at exactly the right frequency. But not only does the generator have to be turned exactly at the right frequency but if the voltage is not absolutely ALWAYS greater than that of the grid you will either burn up the generator or at best not create any voltage at all. The amperage is a function of voltage so there is nothing that needs to be said about it.

Maybe what you are talking about is when I said that a higher frequency will produce more power on the output. I'm sorry I didn't go into more detail on this point, but this is part of the majic of how electricity is made. If you look at the formula frequency is part of the formula but it is not very clear. You see, frequency is a measure of how many times per second something happens and so the higher the frequency the less time it takes to complete one cycle, therefore, the smaller the time the higher the frequency and if you follow the formula the less time the bigger the voltage.... you see? :)
Alternator - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. Learning keeps us from looking stupid.
@merbouhe laid79 Yes I will try to help you here. Electricity is a lot of mathematics. I see that you said that your home generator makes 3500 watts, but there is a mistake somewhere because watts = Voltage X Amps and when I multiply your voltage (110 V AC) X your amperage 8.5 Amps = Watts 935 Watts. (please see www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/watt-volt-amp-calculator.html ).
@merbouhe laid79 Very good. Now we know what it is supposed to give you. However, you have to spin it at the rated speed that it says, so what does it say to spin the shaft at, that is, how many RPM's.
Hello Mark! Thank you so much for your informative video. I was wandering if you would mind assisting me with a small dilemma I have. I recently bought a new generator, that was falsely advertised to be 8,5 Kw. The item was shipped from the UK, to where I am living in Asia, so there is no returning the item! On the generators manual it shows several models, all of them have the same 6.5 HP engine and alternator My question, is: do you believe that changing the AVR to a higher output will give me the power I require. At some point, the alternator is going to reach its maximum capability, in so far as how much power it can put out, so, if I change the current wiring harness from and to the plugs etc. to a heavier gauge wire, change out the breaker for a 30 Amp breaker and put the appropriate plug sockets in, what harm could it do, to replace the current 2,5 Kw AVR, with a 5.5 Kw or an 8,5 Kw AVR? The Top model that this company produces is a 5.5 Kw model, so I can't see any problem in changing this out, but but I suspect that if I run this generator with an 8,5 Kw AVR the power generated might become unstable, or the motor might have trouble trying to keep up! Is this correct? Can you please help? I am needing to run a small hand held, portable inverter welder machine, some lights and some power tools, in a remote work area. My Welding machine is an ASEA & Model is: DRAGUN200 www.aseawelding.co.kr ,with a rated input voltage: Single 220 Volts, Frequency 50 / 60 Hz, power consumption: 5.5 Kw, rated current output 40-200 Amps, Load Voltage: 24.8 Volts, Max no Load Voltage
I will help but please don't change anything on that generator because it would take much more than answering a couple questions to fix your problem. I have to go to work now but will get back with you later.
