Curious if anyone can tell me how boats without alternators charge their batteries?
Also wondering if there is a way to charge deep cycle batteries while at sea?
Hi all.
I have a 240 volt, 10 Amp AC generator being powered by excess compressed air that would otherwise be wasted. I want to use it to charge a bank of 12 V DC batteries wired to be 24 V. My issue is that the compressed air pressure varies slightly to the point that the generator run between...
Hi All,
I am working to replace an on-site diesel generator that currently charges a bank (9) of 12V car batteries. The batteries mostly power measurement devices on location. I am hoping to replace the diesel generator with an expander/generator combination that uses on-site natural gas as...
I am hoping someone here might have recommendations for a product that can data log volts, amps, and frequency coming off an AC generator. Ideally, the product would be able to connect to local wifi and transmit the data in real time. If no such product exists then an alternative would be to...
I am trying to better understand methods that can electronically control the speed of a generator (specifically). The generator will be spinning using mechanical energy generated by air through a pipe. The electricity will be sent to a load or battery bank.
I thought a VFD might be the...
I am trying to determine the advantages/disadvantages of different types of expanders for air expansion that will drive a generator. The two most promising seems to be turbo expanders and scroll expanders. Does anyone have an understanding of how one could be better than the other?
Hi,
I am working on a project that would insert a generator/expander system to a pressurized stream of gas in order to generate electricity.
I would like to control the rotational speed of the generator in order to adjust the gas stream flow rate.
Would it be possible to control the...
