[QUOTE="Sparky2018, post: 796976, member: 31521"] That looks like something interesting I think I have seen something similar using washing machine motors. An alternator would be more easy to work with tho and a decent size can produce quite a current. Probably alot lighter than a generator. The down side with those are most often a low power output. I think the one I was using was able to power a 1200w circular saw and it was cutting out but cut a few posts. When hooking a hoover or lawn mower it was unable to deliver. The result was a dead generator that would not start up. After a few searches I worked out that it was not the spark plug or coil but the stator coil or ignition coil had gone bad. So eventually after a few head scratching moments it does run once again but still is in need of a new filter box. The idea of what it can run on always has my interest and the best thing I have seen is one that can run with a gas instead of petrol. Being able to make that run again after some said generator genius told me it needed a full overhaul of the tappets I think was quite funny because I sort of knew it had not run many hours at all from new. I guess my take away from this was that we should count how many hours it has run to enable the knowledge of what may wear out in a set time. And that when using one we should at best let the thing run till warm before power is drawn from the unit. The last thing being we always need the bigger engine if we want to run a large item such as a lawn mower or hoover. I guess it was worth experimentation tho because it could run a 1200w saw and that was 400w over its limited ratings. Probably not an ideal long term but showed when the unit was going to struggle above or near to. The saw looked much more heavy duty than that of a mower or hoover. The goal we wanted to achieve was to try and get it to boil a kettle. No chance tho have to get one of those travel ones with a tiny voltage that may boil 1 cup. [/QUOTE]
