Re: little generator

You can make your own metal discs from a soda can or even better from a sheet of brass, about .15mm thick. Brass gives you more runs, compared to Aluminium, before you have to replace the disc with a new one.

The RJL heads are much better though, then there are none of those silly disc to worry about...

For diesel fuel you can use Tygon or neoprene tubing, both are easily available on ebay for instance.

okey

i have disasembled the generator

the tubes were not broken

there was a clog in the spraybar

and the knoking i heard was the piston that had to be reset

there is also a little tear in my last teflon head
it is not all the way trough

so i have to place a order with berty

robot797 Fri Apr 03, 2015 1:12 pm

it is running again
it needs a little more fuel then bevevore so the little tear is notisable

i am gonna look for a load and test it with a load

just running it gives me 16-28V
and that is a rpm regulated voltage

pritty nice actualy

robot797 Fri Apr 03, 2015 1:46 pm

it get easyer and easyer to start the engine

i think i am getting the hang of little diesels

now to find normal lampoil

the one i have right now has anty smoke stuff added to it
and that burns my eyes

robot797 Thu Apr 09, 2015 3:25 pm

i have done screwed it

i ruinid my last teflon disk

i was cleaning the engine (i like to clean engines when bored)
and the disk broke when i took it out

luckaly i ordered 2 last week

(i hope there here soon)

i am also gonna do a nitro test soon
i could not get it to run on nitro bevore
i think this was becaus of the double reed

robot797 Fri Apr 17, 2015 6:57 am

i have new teflon disks

i also was able to run it on nitro

robot797 Sun May 03, 2015 1:48 pm

i have been thinking of building a second generator

but i want it as small as i can posably build it

so i have chosen a recoil started car engine

robot797 Thu May 14, 2015 8:06 pm

i have another great idea
i am also gonna make plans for a 3th one

but that one is gonna be crazy
becaus i am gonna convert a cox into petrol
and design the generator around that

new video !!!!

sounds like you have the bugs worked out there robot797. Good Job !! Babe Bee .049

robot797 Sun Jul 26, 2015 2:55 pm

but there is but a few bugs left
i need a better flywheel
the crankcase would be better if it were a pusher
and the screws on the coppeling peace keep losening up

but for its good enough

**Admin** Sun Jul 26, 2015 6:44 pm

That turned out really nice! Sounds like its running well too. What do you get out of it? 25vdc? Have you tried putting a load on it yet? I wonder what the max output is (watts). Great Job Thumbs Up

dckrsn Sun Jul 26, 2015 7:56 pm

Wow! That really did come together nicely.
Thanks for posting the video.

Sweet project! That looks really nice. I've heard others mention this, I started something similar but am not sure what accessory I want it to run just yet, but I'd like to try it with a small belt and pulley system. Trying to keep everything billet aluminum.

robot797 Mon Jul 27, 2015 11:10 am

i would suggest not to use belts or pulies

thay make the project only more dificult

The elect motor acts like a flywheel too, you are all set now measure voltage and amps and feed the generator to a source such as a 12v light. Show them what your (generator) can do wtg!! Clapping

You may find you need more rpm to get the voltage up more flywheel weight will just wear out the .049 faster. Also don't forget to oil the front bushing from time to time on the elect motor.

robot797 Mon Jul 27, 2015 3:29 pm

i am planning on building a variable dummy load
so that i can load it down till it shutsoff Eyebrows

and then i know the max amperage on the generator itself (it putsout around 18-30V)
and after that with a buck converter so that i get a constant 12V

if my buck converter isnt powerfull enough i will be amazed (its 5A max)

i will drive everything to there limet

btw i just rebuild the engine
i replaced the backplate so that i can mound a chock tube
this makes starting more easy
and i can add a carb if i need to

robot797 Sun Aug 09, 2015 1:18 pm

i still have no readings from the generator

but i do know
i hate the diecast sure start backplates
they do not work as good as the original does on my generator
and also the aluminium disks wont work
and starting was harder
so i remounted the original
sad that the dirt cover was damaged (and lost)

and now it runs again
