Your Questions About How To Make A Generator

admin answers:

The easiest way is to have a coil with a spinning magnet inside, like the old-fashioned bicycle dynamo.

The video in the link ‘Simple Electric Generator’ should help.

I think that’s a pretty tough assignment because of the materials needed and construction problems!

It seems a PX150 is a Vespa motor scooter engine. As such it is not very suitable to power your home. The top end of the horsepower rating is 15hp but others mention 8hp. That means ideally the power is from 6KW to 11KW approx, so that is the biggest generator size that can be driven. It may be that a 3 – 5KW generator is suitable, allowing for drive losses and true engine power. I have a direct drive Yamaha generator with 8hp engine that is 3KVA. It uses an inverter technique so the engine speed can be variable. The engine and the generator are types suitable for this purpose.

The RPM for this peak power of the engine has to be be matched to the generator RPM of 1500 for 50Hz or 1800 for 60Hz. That uses gears or a belt drive of some kind. Some generators may have twice this RPM, which would be helpful. The engine needs a governor for constant speed.

At first this would seem reasonable, but this type of engine is not intended for running long periods at full power. Its life would be very short (most likely about 2000 hours). It may even overheat. In the scooter use, it probably only goes to peak power for brief times, so is not really continuously rated.

Other issues almost certain to arise are noise, toxic gases (yes, lots of seriously toxic Carbon Monoxide) and zoning regulations. The cost of this power compared to the grid supply will most likely be high. I think you can expect over 10 liters of fuel a day, but of course it depends on what you are running.

Well it depends on what you mean by name generator.

The way I would do it, say for names for example, would be something like this:

1. Make three lists of names: one of names, one of surnames and one of middle names.
2. Set up a parameter in my program that would indicate how many partial names a full name should contain. If the parameter is 2 for example, the full names the program would generate would consist of surnames and names. If it’s three then it would be surnames + names + middle names. Or whatever order you think is appropiate.
3. Start building up names.

For names made of 2 words:

for i = 0, items_on_first_list
{
for j = 0, items_on_second_list
{
fullname = first_list[i] + ” ” + second_list[j]
}
}

4. You can get the names for each list from the internet. There are resources that provide you with such information. Just download them and use them as input files for your program
5. You could also add a bit of variation to the way you generate names. For example you could add suffixes as “Jr.” or “Miss”, “Mr.”, “the 3rd”, etc. This can all be controlled from parameters in your program.

Hope this helps.

It’s just a text generator, you can google “MSN TEXT” or just click this link.

just type what you want where it say’s to type, and it gives you a ton of different styles(:

Hope this helped.
