    It looks really good! Too bad it didn't make much of a difference. Those briggs motors are just simply loud. I know folks that have tried to quiet them down with little luck. You get an A for effort though!

      I have a 6500/7500 PowerMate genny in a Suncast dual trash can shed.
      I've been considering altering the muffler to quiet it down, but as noted, these rigs are LOUD, period.
      Many YT videos confirm this...thank you for sharing your test!
      It's not so much the exhaust.
      Some guy has a video up that quiets a genny 10x in 10 seconds.....he lays plywood sheets all around the genny.
      Insulation/sound deadening seems to be the key.
      I'm guessing my next move is a sound insulation attempt.
      The way my Powermate is set up, the exhaust is on the 'left side' along with recoil pull handle. Power panel on the 'right'.
      The exhaust points out one of the two shed doors, the other I can close along with the roof of the shed.
      The exhaust door will always have to be open during operation, which is ok with me.
      Hopefully, with sound deadening material applied to all interior surfaces the engine noise will drop some.

      The exhausts on those Tecumseh engines aren't quiet at all. A better exhaust would definitely help, but air cooled engines aren't that quiet to begin with. The engines would be much quieter if it was suspended in some springs and rubber pads to absorb the vibrations.
      I am planning on building a generator that will run at a lower 1800 rpm instead of screaming at 3600 rpm using an 18 HP Onan engine. The lower rpm will be far less noisy. I will be using small springs with rubber pads for the engine mounts to keep the noise down. I am using the stick mufflers but I'm welding pipes to redirect the exhaust into another resignation chamber to make the exhaust sound like a steady "hmmm". Lastly, the entire setup will be put into a wooden box with sound dampening material on the inside. The exhaust will exit out the side of the box with thermal insulation to protect the wood. I have a 10kW generator head rated at 3600 rpm that is shaft driven so I will have to use 3 individual v-belt pulleys at a 2:1 ratio.

  • @HappyHands.
    @HappyHands. 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    There are two things to consider when trying to quiet down a small engine. #1 The amount of metal and thickness of the crank case and cylinder and cylinder head. Small, air cooled, engines have very little metal in the engine housing itself so a lot of the combustion noise is actually coming through the walls of the engine. This can be addresses by enclosing the engine in a sound dampening housing. however this is problematic with air cooled engines. #2 No matter how quiet a muffler claims to be, it is greatly influenced by the length of exhaust tubing. The longer the exhaust tubing the quieter the the sound. The exhaust noise is greatly reduced by the distance and turns and surfaces in which the exhaust, and pressure wave, has to transverse.

    95% of all the noise comes from all the mechanical parts while it's running. Put an insulated box around it, put an inlet fan to keep it cool and feed the carburetor. Take that exhaust from the muffler and run it towards the ground. Put some cinder blocks around the exhaust near the ground and you'll hear a huge difference in noise level. Thanks for sharing.

      Air-cooled vs watercooled motor, air-cooled engines have very thin metal around the cylinder vs a watercooles car engine, that reduces alot of the combustion noise, I'm sure the water running through the block helps reduce it to. Also, having a 12-foot-long exhaust pipe helps too, having the engine enclosed under the hood helps too.

    I don't have very much experience with generators. However, as a semi-retired auto mechanic. I know that muffling the INTAKE of an air compressor does wonders for quieting them down inside the shop. In fact, the only difference I've noticed on standard vs. ultra quiet compressors is the intake has been muffled on the ultra quiet ones. Might be something to try out on a future video. Also, you wouldn't have to worry as much about heat and that would free you up to use a wider variety of materials. Just some thoughts. I just found your channel and have subbed.

    • @GabrielMaipose
      @GabrielMaipose 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      miggs225 there are so many factors to consider. In car, sound gets absorbed in a long exhaust pipe. The longer the sound travels in an enclosed pipe the more it looses the energy and finaly calms down by the time it passes through the muffler which reduces it further to almost quite. The exhaust pipe is purposely hang on rubbers which also helps to absorb the vibration from the moving gas that comes out with a pounding force. Secondly, most genders are two strokes engine.the interval between the firing in the cylinders is very long. If a genset is made with 6 cylinders, it will produce less sound bkoz the firing will happen at close intervals hence sound will come out smooth like bruuuuuuuuu than braaarrrrrrr Thirdly, the sound doesn't just come from the exhaust pipe alone but also comes out directly from the thin cylinder walls. The only way to contain the sound is to cover with a sound proof box.

    Thanks for doing an honest test on this subject and sharing with folks. You may have saved a lot of guys some money with your demo. One fundamental issue with small air cooled engines is they have much less mass and no water jacket to help control all that nasty sound. The noise just doesn't get absorbed. Better to build a small sound absorbing shed to place the generator in. Then use the auto muffler to safely exhaust the fumes and heat from the building.

    The resonator in an exhaust is tuned to a specific engine speed to reduce volume at that frequency of exhaust pulses. Car exhausts usually have a variable resonator that opens up at high speed (pressure activated) that offers a second tuning for the higher frequency. The small engine is probably running at a lower RPM than the resonator is tuned for. I'd try using a scooter exhaust. I doubt if a motorcycle exhaust would have much effect, either, since they're usually tuned for higher RPM ranges.

      That's a good thought but, the engine is connected to the generator at a 1-1 ratio. So the engine is set to run at 3600 rpm (which is around or above the resonate frequency of most mufflers) to provide the 60 HZ electrical output. My theory is that the 3/4" pipe connecting the muffler to the engine is too small, therefore keeping velocity too high. I think had he used the short run before the turn to put a larger diameter pipe (like 1-1/4 or 1-1/2) then reduced back to 3/4, would lower velocity and allow the pressure waves to react against one another. A lot of automobiles have this very thing (a resonator) usually behind or built into the Cat.

Did it actually quiet down the exhaust ? Quieting the exhaust was very very little , if any at all . The only thing that it really did was to change the sound of the exhaust to a different sound .

    The most important thing is vibration control.

    Much of the noise you hear from those motors comes from the exhaust gasses impacting the exhaust pipe. The pipe leaving the motor is too restrictive. What if you opened up the area the exhaust goes into right at the cylinder head? Use a flange unto which a larger pipe can be welded to. Taper out from the exhaust flange so you can still bolt everything up. It still might be noisy bit give it a try.

    Most of the noise from those type of small engines comes from the engine itself since nearly all of them run at 3600rpm. I think an absorption muffler like a glasspack would be quieter. Most of those car mufflers have passages and chambers that are too big for a small engine to slow the exhaust flow and direct it to quiet it down enough.

    A few things I did was add muffler(with equal results) , added a small set of valve springs inside the factory springs (coil over springs like older V8's had), and took valves from a 1.6L kia rio and crudely cut the length of the stems to be slightly longer than the factory valves. That way the valve train noise was almost eliminated . Aluminum transmits harmonics exceptionally well, which is a big problem when seeking to reduce the overall noise these engines produce. If you look at newer F150 trucks, on the exhaust system they have a exhaust clamp with a bar about 6 inches long with a large weight attached to the end of it. I took notice of this and attached a bracket to the engine, drilled and threaded 2 holes, one in front of the other separated by 2 inches or so. Used a long 'all thread' (1/2 inch) , attached a bunch of large heavy washers to the end, and started up the engine. Slowly turned the rod increasing the distance of the weight from the engine. It began to vibrate violently but kept going till it stopped and the noise was almost eliminated. The harmonic frequency was matched , canceling itself out. This alone ,without adding valves,springs, and muffler is by far the best thing you can do to quite down these things. Give it a shot, its cheap and easy , try a 3/8 all thread, it might work better .

      Thanks for watching. We’re going to do more experiments on it soon as I get time. Things are crazy on the farm. The all thread sounds like a good idea. We might try some of your value tricks also. Thanks for the info. Have a good week

      What part of the engine did u attach the bracket too? Does the adjustment bar run Parallel to the rotating assembly, or perpendicular to it?

    i had a generator trying to fix the same problem..."noise". Thanks for the video it helps with my time consuming know it will not work as how i expect. appreciate your video!!! Lots of thanks with your experiment!

    Thanks for an honest opinion. My same conclusion. Most people would say it was quieter if it was their video. This experiment tells me to look for another option. Thank you for a great video with honest results.

    @GerraldFarms have you tried a FMF silencer pipe ? instead of a regular muffler ?
