    I adapted a small broken chest freezer, removed the compressor, added casters and cut two 4x10 duct holes in the bottom for air flow. Used a 30w duct fan for cooling air. With a 2200w inverter generator inside, tests show inside temp increase less than 20f during operation. Sure its big, but easily wheeled around, and protects the gen from weather, and can be locked up. Really, really quiet!

    With these recent rolling blackouts. I bought a champion duel fuel inverter generator it is quiet compared to a typical gas generator. I also bought 2 solar power stations that I can charge in under 2 hours with the champion. The 2 solar stations would keep me running a little under 2 days. I like the idea of keeping things quiet as possible. Great video!

    • @MrRickonia
      @MrRickonia 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Quiet is very important, I agree. Question: Is a "duel-fuel" inverter generator just as quiet whether it is running on propane or gasoline?
      Also, does Honda make a propane generator (since I like the quietness of Hondas)?
      Is it difficult to store gasoline?

    • @johnmal5975
      @johnmal5975 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@MrRickonia You can convert a honda. I do not think they make dual fuel. Propane will give you less wattage output. It's not a huge difference but it is less. Propane stores forever fuel doesn't. I have never run my generator on gas and won't because then I get into carb issues. Propane is just way less maintenance and easy to store. Hope that helps!

    You can use a resonator extension on the exhaust pipe and it does not effect the exhaust output flow but will reduce the noise. They are used on diesel vehicles and equipment and does not affect the exhaust flow like a muffler will.

  • @micahnightwolf
    @micahnightwolf 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    One way to reduce noise complaints, though it won't reduce the noise itself, is to offer to throw an extension cord over your neighbor's fence during a power outage. Most people don't care about generator noise if the generator is the only thing keeping their food cold, their CPAP on, and their phones charged.

  • @peanutbutterisfu
    @peanutbutterisfu 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    The easiest, cheapest and quickest way that makes the biggest difference is to run the exhaust into water. Same concept like small boats, they have no mufflers or anything they are basically like a car with short straight pipes that’s why they are loud out of the water when you start up in ur driveway but then in the water the exhaust is under water and very quite. I use a small pool made for dogs it’s about 1 ft deep, maybe 6ft wide and it folds up for storage. You could try a kiddy pool but this one is deeper and wider than any kiddy pool I’ve seen which allows the water to not get really hot. If u try it just make sure the water level is lower than the engine so there is no chance of it getting into the engine if it stalls.

    The leaning plywood method method is probably the most practical and cost effective of box. I run my generator on the upstairs deck sitting on 1/2 inch of neoprene rubber. The noise is reflected upward and I can barely hear it right under it. A U shape of sandbags or cinder blocks works well on the ground if you are going to use it at the same spot. If your grass isn't pristine you could put a vehicle between the generator and you. Using a heavy gage extension cord like AWG 10 you can move the generator 100 feet away from the house. You can combine methods, 100 ft away, plywood and place a car or pickup between you and the generator. Direct sound up to the sky, there shouldn't be anything up there to bounce it back to you or put mass/distance between you and the generator.

  • @davidcraft4909

    I just don't understand how a car engine can be 200-300 horsepower and be almost silent. I have a harbor freight 8750 inverter generator and it's just too loud. And I don't even think it's as loud as some of the others. When I have it running, I can't even hear myself think, it's very distracting. You make a good point about maybe adding a muffler will reduce the engines power. but I don't see how a muffler off of like a stock honda civic or something similar would reduce power, when its made for something that literally has10 times more power than a generator like the 8750watt I have. The little muffler on mine has like a 1" hole on the exit. Do you really think a 2" muffler would affect its power? I don't think it would, but I'm not really trying to experiment on my new generator, but I would copy someone else that has a tried and proven way. That muffler you showed in the video did not make it quiet enough in my opinion. It was good that you showed that but I want mine to be silent.

    • @quickshot100
      @quickshot100 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      The engine itself is noisier than the exhaust because of the metal parts clanking together. Those small engines are pretty simple and don`t run smooth and balanced like a car engine does. If they were put together like a car engine most people couldn`t afford to buy a generator.

    • @charliedee9276
      @charliedee9276 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Pick up the hood and listen again at the engine compartment, far from almost silent. Adding a muffler will not reduce power but the exhaust is not the main source of noise, the mechanical items are.

    • @joeflyer1
      @joeflyer1 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Air-cooled engines vs. water-cooled. The water and extra metal muffle the mechanical noise. On a generator the mechanical noise is probably louder than the exhaust noise.

    you have to use the right kind of muffler FFS, they need to be low decibel ceramic coated, no issues.. your car doesn't have issues right? ceramic coated on the inside the heat dissipates .. the reality is they need to be water cooled so the engine can be sealed up save air intake and exhaust, radiator/fan .. you can't use boxes over an air cooled engine.. good grief..
    have you ever heard a propane forklift inside like amazon? nope, that's right you don't hear them, even tho its internal combustion, how do they do it? welp they use a PROPER muffler, not one that has holes in it then hold a chunk of wood on the hole, dafugg was that? LAME! mufflers is how you quiet internal combustion engines, you NEED exhaust pipe to carry the heat away, at least 3 feet, and it should be heavy gauge and ceramic coated inside and out, wrap it around, or if its stationary like ina RV just run it beneath, with a couple small GOOD mufflers, you won't even be able to tell its running, JUST LIKE INDOOR PROPANE FORKLIFTS! look at how they are made and you will see

    @soundproofguide,
    I can outline an outstanding way how to cancel perhaps upwards of 50-60 percent of that noise but you may
    not like it however, but it does not require using a shotgun either!! This is how the military would do it provided
    that the mission would require or dictate for that matter and things of this nature was done clear back in the
    days of Vietnam era. These principles are really quite simple but it can require upwards of about 6-8 hours
    worth of time and effort and a laborious but not severe OR hard to do! On the other hand, if you were to build
    your own box that meets or exceeds the best box out there and you budget for oh say 250 clams or less but
    then it's also built with portability in mind, you would also build it in such a way that you end up with a heavy
    duty packing crate that a wheel kit can be applied to it as well! With a generator that weighs no more than oh
    say 150 pounds, combined with a packing crate that still has the portability in mind that it too does not exceed
    yet another 150 pounds, the combined weight of 300 pounds is to be achieved overall!! Personally, I would
    construct a packing type crate that has a structure that has a unitized top and sides rolled into one structure
    that can be lifted off of the already strapped down generator to the high density PB one inch thick floor and
    attach four 3/8" eye bolts that are to be bolted down along with homemade steel cabling that makes up from
    a four point T bar hitch that has a coupling at that top for the cable sling point, just so that the hook on the boom
    lift, can lift from just one single point yet the cabling is anchored towards the corners of the already eye bolted
    cables and their cable clamps. The eyebolts bore holes being predrilled themselves needs to be bored nearly
    1/2" diameter off the corners oh say 3" away from the corners on a diagonal plane from one corner to the
    opposite corner, since your crate and floor platform is of a rectangular design. Those eyebolts needs to have
    flat washers topside and bottom side of that 1" heavy duty rated high density particle board ALONG with
    lock washers WITHOUT fail and to be torqued down considerably with the use of a 1/2 inch long handle socket
    ratchet and/or with the use of a torque wrench, if you have one OR a long handle crescent wrench; for all four
    holes in order to preserve the integrity of the generator floor and the overall strength! Just remember that
    you'll be lifting a whole lot of weight. You cannot make a fatal mistake and have that kind of weight OR
    strength give out on you while you are trying to lift a heavy object and be in the way of it should it give out on
    you!!! The cabling that you also purchase should be rated to be able to take a load of at least 3 times the weight
    OR at least 3x 200 OR 600 pounds lifting strength also! The eyebolts as I have said should be on the order of
    3/8" eyebolt threading in my mind should suffice although 1/2' threading is even better and chances are that an
    eyebolt of 1/2" for the thread size will more than suffice for the combined lifting of said two hundred pounds!
    Take another 563 clams and go and buy one of these hydraulically actuated, extension boom, lifting & articulating
    kit that can be bolted down onto a pickup truck bed/van/pull behind trailer bed such as a 3/4 ton truck so as to be
    able to do the hefty lifting and traversing the load onto the vehicle itself! This way if you had to pickup and go with
    it even if you are in a wicked hurry if need be, almost if not completely by one's self! These manual hydraulically
    operated by hand boom kit is on the average are rated for at least 300 pounds if not more, max rated and average
    somewhere around 563 clams the last time that I spotted one! Bare in mind, if the total weight of 300 pounds
    worth of valuable cargo has to be readily accessible to accommodate the lifting and loading is to be achieved!
    Achieved by the mere backing up of the vehicle that is to be used or by by the mere being able to take like a
    stake body 3/4 ton van and pull up beside it that has a low stance, OR pull behind trailer to load and off load that
    generator and strong box crate. I am here to tell yeah that my Sears 3/4 ton van that was equipped with such an
    a lift mechanism kit that could handle this kind of load and was thought of by my service manager and had them
    installed into our service vans just inside of the rearward two opening doors but we were not using this lift for
    generators but now if someone were to craft and position this kit just inside of the curbside sliding door and affix
    it very close to the "B" pillar and bolt it to the steel floor with the use of a good sized backing plate while from
    underneath the floor bed, that can be rather nice if it is to be entirely possible! Upon bolting this kit to the floor of
    the inside van floor, I would also make for some extra bracing that can be attached from the boom steel cylindrical
    tubing onward to that "B" pillar to provide some much needed high strength to accommodate that massive weight
    while putting it to use and NOT crumple OR warp the van's steel floor! This type of chore for most folks can be just
    a little bit daunting but not really hard to complete! If careful thought is put forth before just going at this willy
    nilly, the kit can be mounted without a very big, very big deal, just know once again that there first off may be an
    obstruction from underneath of that van that may not in the short term may not accommodate the immediate
    drilling of your hole pattern thru the floor and secondly to be able to accommodate the carefully crafted backer
    plate that is to be able to fit into a tight area close to if not nearly butted up to the "B" pillar to begin with and so
    there is much planning and measuring to make it all happen BEFORE you attempt to drill any kind of holes in the
    first place; PERIOD! ALSO, in the execution of planning make DAMNED sure the is NOTHING in the way of said
    flammable materials, no steel or plastic brake lines OR fuel lines that can be in the very close proximity or path
    of where you are to do ANY drilling and but of course then the project can perhaps proceed! Measure three times
    over to ensure that this project will go as planned!

    Also, don't set your generator on grass since grass is a sound conductor.

    Don't see the sense in it, I know good reasons for wanting it quieter, but I personally don't care how loud it is😂 but DO want to put it IN an enclosure to avoid rain and snow on it...

    Don’t forget, you can’t hook an inverter generator up to your house so don’t buy one unless you really need to.

      The good news is that the EU7000is, luckily, is a floating neutral generator, so it can be used with simpler transfer switches, such as your "select circuit" switch, or breaker interlocks without violating the NEC's grounding and bonding provisions. (Many jobsite generators have bonded neutrals as per the OSHA rules on worksite use, but this means that they need to be used as separately derived systems. This, in turn, requires a transfer switch which switches the neutral wire over so that you don't put the two neutral-ground bonds in parallel inadvertently, which'd cause merry havoc with stray neutral currents and even GFCI tripping.)

      That's NOT TRUE (NOT ACCURATE) at all! It's very common practice to connect to PROFESSIONALLY connect to the main house panel via a 120V Only Transfer Switch with a 120V Inverter Generator. I have a Champion 4650W Inverter Dual-Fuel Generator that I connect to a Reliance 6-Circuit Transfer switch to manage almost everything I needed in the house. It is not connected to any 240V circuits at all since it won' run a 240V Pool Pump or House AC but I don't need those in an emergency. It even runs the 120V Circuit for the HVAC NG Heater Fan that only needs 300W to run the Fan for the whole house heater.

    Really learned nothing here. "You might try this, or maybe this." The real issue with internal combustion generators is that to reduce noise, you often have to use a solution that will cause them to overheat. They are air-cooled, and they generate carbon monoxide ( not dioxide as stated in this video ) which is lethal. They need to be in a very open space when operating. They are noisy. Real noise reduction depends on routing the exhaust system remotely and high off the ground. There are excellent RV systems to do this and they can easily be adapted to any internal combustion generator. Then all you have to deal with is getting ample cool air over the generator engine while it is in a relatively large, sound reducing enclosure. It's work, but it can be done.

    First find a generator made in America or a country that puts quality first, even if it ist an American brand make sure nothings loose or vibrating they could produce annoying rattles or buzzes and used 20 W 50 oil full synthetic or 0W 40 if you’re running it in the very cold climate
