Inside an Inverter Generator, Car Alternator, AC
Inside an Inverter generator. This video explains what is the difference between an Inverter Generator and a Regular Generator. Also explains why car alternators are not the best choice for wind turbines. DC generator or DC motors work for power generation. The most efficient generator is the Dual Axial Flux Generator. Electronics Inverter vs. non-inverter generator, generator INVERTER GENERATOR VS REGULAR GENERATOR WHAAT IS AN INVERTER GENERATOR

Great video. Passing on your “win” to others is the greatest encouragement to success in inspiring green projects. That is what I got out of this.
Don’t see what all the fuss is about – I thought the camera work was good – ok maybe that was a touch of sarcasm – awesome informative vid – I love this stuff.
that is cool how much is a 1000wat Generator wood cost
another great video
OMG, I just used the CC closed captioned the ^ up arrow below ad and above views. The software is beta so it is close 50% of the time, GREAT VIDEO but the CC is SOOOO funnY.

THANK YOU! for the comment on HHO generators producing a load on the engine by using the alternator for power therefore using any extra power/fuel economy they might produce.
i think you’re the only alternative energy experimenter on youtube thats not trying to sell some HHO sham kit. i knew there was a reason i subscribed to you. haha
Holy crap, I almost got motion sickness from watching the video. Maybe you could put it on a tripod and point it whatever you’re talking about instead of trying to hold the camera doing something with the other hand at the same time. But other than that, great vid.
im new to this and my electrical and wiring/knowledge goes to wiring a plug, but what i have picked up please correct me if im wrong is that amps have the power (my be wrong wording there soz) so why the reference to watts all the time? interesting vid thanks! ya camera work is sound mate!
stay safe pip
Hey Dan…Do you have any experience with treadmill motors? Regardless of brand, they all have very similar permanent magnet motors in them. So far, I’ve “harvested” 4 of them from dumpsters and the curb on garbage day. They’re very easy to find, have a good output and are very durable.
Think of water. Amps are how much water. Volts is how much pressure. Watts is horsepower.
it takes about 745 watts per 1 Horsepower
sweet nice one mate!
where do you get all that junk?
can anyone tell me what the difference between a normal generator and an electrical motor running in reverse? it seems to be the same basic idea just in reverse.
Hey, twitchman. Its The same except the phase are flipped to switch the magnetic field.
opps i meant to say phases*
As far as the Unified (or Generalised) Theory of Machines is concerned you’d be right – a generator and a motor are much the same thing and can operate as either a generator or a motor. However, in practice, running a motor, for example, as a generator, doesn’t have the same efficiency. Some of the reasons for this are outlined in the video. Try watching it again and you’ll probably pick up on that.
You need to cut down on the coffee, dude
IMO the biggest drawback in using a modified auto alternator is the bearings. Not really design for use with 8-10 fan. Looking forward to Dan’s video on the axial flux wind turbines. The most popular versions of those use front spindles off a car. As I recall reading the axial flux designs can work while turning more slowly, that should mean less noise
I didn’t know a lot of what you were talking about, because I haven’t reached that level yet…. but the explanation of why car alternators are not used in power generation was superb and made the video for me… thank you for sharing the knowledge for free!
Very good video. Thanks for sharing this.
Most elevators use a motor driven DC generator for supplying power to the hoist motor. Elevator motor-generators or MG’s as they are called are for DC elevator hoist motors including older DC elevator motors that that have straight-slotted armatures,but elevators that have rectifiers or drives replacing MG sets,the rectifier or drive can cause problems with straight slot armatures.
Feeling sea sick…..
I believe the wheel that houses the magnets on the first engine is called the flywheel. It is used to charge the spark plug in small and large engines alike.
this has been one long winded explanation of AC an DC Current i have ever heard !
and why not just build your own DC magnet Motor for your wind mill generators ?
then put it thew AC Inverter
looking forward to the you take on the air coils. Keep up the good work
