Ok, thanks o1951, now I understand what you meant, and it's very interesting. Sewerzuk, I'm not sure I go along with two 002As being cooler than one 003A, but then I'm old, and like stuff to just work. When I was your age... (yada yada yada) SZ, I saw your YT video with the sudoLister belt...

In parallel the generators are locked together. Even a small phase difference causes the two to try to match each other. In series, I would think that the tendency would be to go to 180 degrees out of phase and produce zero power. What would make them want to stay out of phase so the output...

I've been thinking about this. It would be better to use three in series, since when the generators are out of phase the peak is about 340 Volts.

Hmmm... :beer:

I guess that brings up the next question: What does it take to buy or build a suitable centrifuge? Edit: I see that this has been asked before in other threads, so we can end the hijack if you prefer.

What kind of waste oil do you burn in the generator, what filtering or processing do you do, and is the injection system on my 003A able to do this safely too?

Thanks SZ, this stuff is really interesting. Lee, I was thinking that, but hesitant to open the can of worms on the forum. It should work fine, but yesterday I ran through the numbers with my son, and 1 kWh of electricity from the power company costs us about 10 cents. One kWh of power from...

I had previously edited my post a bit after you posted at 00:12, but I don't understand why two lights are needed for 3-phase synchronization. I would have thought that connecting one lead of the light to each generator at the same point would indicate the phase difference just like it does in...

Once two synchronous generators are wired together, both engines are forced to run at exactly the same RPM. You could shut off one engine, and the running generator will force it to continue to turn at 1800 RPM unless a breaker trips. Increasing the throttle on one will put more torque into...
