Mike knows his stuff and it's an interesting motor. I've never seen a straight DC generator until you had it on your channel.
Yeah Buddy!! Mike's as Sharp as they come and he's not a one trick Pony he's pretty well rounded!! I never knew about DC Generators either till Mike showed me one!!☺
Never knew you could run incandescent bulbs on DC. Learned something new today! Thanks Mike & Roadking!
Thanks for watching Matt!!☺
As I recall, it's actually better for them. Since the current is steady, there's less stress on the filament.
I rarely came across a DC gen set, and now that you mentioned this, I didn`t know about this information either, but it`s good information to learn about.
Thanks for this Gentlemen,..I do appreciate videos like this one.
Thanks Reg!!☺
Was waiting for a new vid, happy it came sooner than later
Good demonstration and explanation. That is a cool little generator. Hope you had a great weekend RK
Thanks Bob!! We had a great holiday!! Hope yours was great also!! Looks like your TN heatwave is headed this way!!☺
Very good explanation on AC/DC working and usage. What a cute little generator but very well built. Would not want to tote that thing around. Mike and Dirt Bike are nice friends to have.
Stay safe and have a great day. Same with Mike and Dirt Bike.
Thanks D!! Yeah them two guys are the Best!!☺
My dad did something similar when I was a kid bolting a motor to a board and an alternator to that via a belt. It had a rectifier and a meter and an outlet. He could take it anywhere he needed power for brushed motors.
Always great to learn from The Professor!
Yeah Buddy!! I go to school every time I'm with him!!☺
I hope you Mike and little dirt bike had a wonderful Fourth of July happy belated Fourth of July guys
Thanks Mel!! We had a great Holiday!! Hope yours was great as well!!☺
learn something new everyday!! thanks guys!!
Thanks for watching Buddy!!☺
The old Jensen Steam engines all say 110v AC/DC =D Great stuff!!! Love that little indicator light!
We thought that light was to act like an ammeter to tell you how the generator was working!! Turns out it's just a light so the Fireman can see it and don't back over it!!☺
great share King , That DC will get ya fast ..ENJOYED !!
Thanks Buddy!!☺
Volts that jolt and amps that cramp. Great description RK an Mike
Thanks Bud!!☺
Hey Mike, that 1HP, AC/DC, really means you
need to be listening to that band, when you are
riding in a 1 horse wagon.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
steve
This was a great video. Great explanation Mike.
Thanks Frank!!☺
Thanks for sharing RK 👍
Thanks for watching Bud!!☺
Oh wow that was great. Sorry for the late reply guys. Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Funny I never noticed the AC/DC on the tools before, I guess that's why I was confused on what they could possibly used for. I'll keep and eye out for that when purchasing them in the future. I laughed when the phone rang and you said "Is it the President". I was in the US Navy and so was my wife, that's where we met, she was a lower rank. So when she would call all my Navy buds would say "It's the Admiral You better take this call"! Then they'd laugh when I jumped up to answer. Yeah she was a looker back then, but then again weren't we all, LOL. Thanks so much for doing the video guys. It was very informative and I jumped up about 35 more subscribers than usual in the last 28 days. I was wondering what had change and where all these new subs were coming from. Turns out all the time it was my Buddies, Road & Mike hooking me up, LOL. Oh Darn!, and the whole time I thought the world was finally warming up to me! Bubble Popped, sniff sniff. Thanks for the video again guys.
You're "Next assignment, should you choose to accept" is one about the Hit n Miss and Steam engine differences,;who invented the 1st useful ones, their peak and demise, oh and where to get them today. Keep up the good work guys and I'll watch the rest of the videos when I get done with my Honey Do list, from the Admiral. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Lol!! Great story about the Admiral!!☺
Good video! I learned something new. 👍
Thanks Tony!!☺
Good info as always,,, thanks guys.
You and Mike speak the same language!!☺
Old Miller 800 amp gas powered welders have a receptacle on the control cover fed from the welders 125 volt DC exciter. Pretty handy to run a grinder and drill when you are welding out in the field.👍😎
I had an old Lincoln like that!! If you're welding, you're grinding!!☺
0:34 fuel drip.
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
Very interesting demo!
Thanks for checkin' it out Buddy!!☺
Never had a high voltage DC generator near me. I see its purpose now :)
You're looking for "series-wound" motors, where the armature and stator are connected in series. Most small power tools like drills have series-wound motors and can actually run on AC or DC even if they have a line cord. I actually got a drill to run on a 9v battery! I just touched the battery contacts to the plug. It ran really slow of course, but it worked!
You know I'm gonna have to try that now!!☺
Nice :) That really is a neat little generator :) I would certainly rather have one of those than a similar-sized modern unit from Harbor Freight :P (even though the modern one would put out AC.)
Nice demonstration!
Thanks John!!☺
Interesting stuff.
Nice explanation between the 2 style of power supply.
Yeah, I never think of DC much other than Batteries!!☺
I got a L A engine I'm trying to get it going lot of my subscribers told me you are the man at them I got a video today and tomorrow on it any help would be awesome thank you sir
An old farmhouse that the Mrs and I rented (way back) was still wired for DC power, but obviously not connected. But it still had DC fixtures on the walls and DC light sockets in the basement and attic. Modern AC was run to surface mounted outlets, through surface conduits on the walls. I'm sure there was some kinda code violation there. But anyways that's a cool old generator, nice addition to your stable.
Sounds like an interesting place!! I hope it had smoke detectors!!☺
I want one...
You can run a stove or cloths dryer with that and a 60hz current alternater (120 up, 120 down = 240A/C single phase). You would need some serious transistors, though. That is a beautiful little machine.
Nice. Runs great!
Thanks Bud!!☺
Many years ago I was still in school, my father saw an advert in the paper of a guy selling 220V generators, so we drove to the city and pick one up. He illustrated it worked on a drill, vacuum cleaner, no problem.
Getting home the 1st thing I want to do is weld, ok, wrong. So I connect the welder, start engine, and switch welder on. The engine freezed on the spot. Tried again, same thing. What now. So later we figured out it was a DC 220V generator, keep in mind now we actually only knew about 12V/24V DC geneartors, never heard of a 220V DC generator ever, (must have been imports) and 220V AC generators.
This was a funny lesson learned, luckily the guy took it back and refunded, he did not say it was 220V DC.
Cool story Bud!!☺
Hi RK. Liked,shared. All my best.
Thanks alot Bobby!!☺
Great vid. AC took over for power distribution because you can step it up and down in voltage easily, and high voltages lose less power over long distances.
Thanks Bud!!☺
yes edison needed dc power station every square mile block
That's interesting, RK. I suppose anything with a brushed motor and no fancy circuitry will work.
Yeah Buddy!! If you see or smell smoke, then stop using it eh!!☺
radios also ran off of DC, at least the ones without a transformer, but a lot of hetrodyne radios were series string units like the one i use
Awesome 👍
Thanks Bud!!☺
That’s a pretty unique set up
Who made these?
I placed a pmdc motor/generator behind a Lamborghini diesel to charge batteries off grid using a PVM solar charger. Works great and is belt driven.
What can I run with old military surplus high frequency AC generators>
. I have been hit with 300 Volts Dc. . I remember it, ----- I will never forget it. . It was a simplex power supply for a communications line. Low current but that doesn't matter at that level. Most of the guys I worked with had a similar experience. it matures a person.
300 Volts, Aye yi yi!! Now that explains alot!!☺
Good Audio book.
"The Wizard" About Tesla.
I gotta check that out!! Tesla is the Man!!☺
Commutation. Brushes commutate or alternate the current flow to produce a varying magnetic field for DC input. AC provides commutation because it alternates so you don't need mechanical commutation IE brushes which energize different windings as the motor rotates.
Armature
@Tiporari check out Tesla patents, there's a self-running generator, big enough to fill a large room... #487796. Has a mag field inducer into the motor, DC motor, 3 phase generator that only outputs one phase. Works by being OUT of phase... We pay for electricity because of greed. I would've liked to see a world where $13 is too high for a bill.
So those older AC generators used a rotary phase converter like device to make AC instead of an AC to DC rectifier?
I have a 118 volt dc Allen magneto charger, I've been wondering how to power it, I believe a dc generator might be the answer? Thanks
Nice 👍
Thanks Joe!!☺
Probably designed for on scene fire department lighting.
Can you convert old DC generator to AC power
Hi Roadking, can I ask you an off-topic engine question? I'm trying to restore a 1972 Volkswagen bug that I bought recently. The engine needs a lot of work, but I have no experience rebuilding engines and don't really have anyone in my area who can help. I'm on my own pretty much. I'm cleaning the engine and fixing it the best I can with a repair manual and watching videos, etc. I'm kind of "iffy" about whether the valves are completely sealing. I cleaned and lapped them but I'm not totally sure if I did it right. In your experience, do valves have to be "perfect" for an engine to run or how forgiving is it usually?
VW engines are pretty forgiving so it would probably run if they are iffy!! But it's easy enough to do it right!! Just keep lapping til you get a solid grey ring on the valve and the seat!! If the valves are pitted too bad, they're only $10 new!! There are probably dozens of VW forums on Facebook, you could get anything you need for that engine free!!☺
@@805ROADKING Ok, thanks!
the only thing that usually goes on them is the thrust bearings, grab the crank pulley and see if you can pull it out and push it in
Only trouble with DC is its tendency to arc in things like switches, so they'll destroy toggle or rocker switches in no time when used with a heavyish load, which is why you usually see slider switches used on DC stuff (like say a 12v car vac), they can resist the arcing a lot more readily than regular switches... :)
Just watched Mike's last vid
Me too!!☺
What would happen if you overdrew the power from a generator? Would it stall?
It's possible it would stall but if it didn't you just wouldn't get enough power to run what you needed to run or if it was lighting it just wouldn't be as bright!!☺
Is there any way I can send you all a engine that was my dads back in the 50’s I think it’s pretty cool but I don’t have the time to mess with it or the need for it just would like to see it running and someone enjoying it
Thanks for thinking of us Kal. Can you take some pictures of it when you get a chance so we can see what you have. You can email me at (805roadking at gmail dot com). If I typed it like an email this message would get lost in spam.
805ROADKING yes I’ll send some tonight when I get off of work
L * O * U * D * ! But I learned something! You can teach an old dog new tricks! ...Newk from Kentucky
When I worked on aircraft voltage they said DC "pushes" and AC "shakes" so, DC will knock you away and AC will grab you and rattle you to death. I've taken a few minor hits and all I remember is when it's AC, 440hz is a higher pitched pain than 60hz.
But the only people I saw get killed by AC or DC was in training videos and it was always so much power it didn't matter. Those dudes were like a blown fuse, burnt hair and everything.
Yeah saw a video where a guy was messing around in some high voltage cabinet and next thing was a flash and he was gone. Nothing but a big mess was left where he was.
@@wheeln24-79 yeah, I avoid high voltage now. Those videos are very convincing.
Hi hows it going? Does little dirt bike have a TH-cam channel?
Yeah try MOTOFORLYFE
Little dirt bike is so camera shy now? Great video
Thanks B!!☺
I need more detail
Bend over wise guy, I'll give you something in da tail!!☺
What is Mike's channel
SmallEngineMechanic
I heard, if you just touch one leg, it won't hurt you, if you're not grounded.
Young adult dirt bike keeping his 6' away from you guys. 👍 lol
He don't want to be responsible for killing Roadking!!☺
Try it with a heat gun and a grinder! That's a test!
I was gonna try my heat gun but it's a professonal Dayton and I didn't want to risk damaging it!! That little generator probably wouldn't run it anyway!!☺
@@805ROADKING it's a sweet gen set anyway
Yup, I know an electrician who can only count to 8 without removing a shoe. 😁
Yeah Buddy!! It's more common than you would think!!☺
Utility companies used them alot for smaller power tools/blowers in the field or sewers.
