Just got these two 63cc 800w generators for 20 euros. They both run well and deliver their rated power but the problem is that they only generate dirty power, only good for lights and basic power tools like drills.How do I get clean power from them so I can plug in my fridge and charge electronics without frying them during a power outage?
>>2954653>How do I get clean power from themin theory:rectify to dc with smoothing capsconnect pwm sinewave ac inverter to dc busin reality: just buy a better generator for less money and assache
>>2954653those look suspiciously like the tailgator generators from harbor freight, if that's the case then they output pretty clean power as tested by this guyhttps://youtu.be/ehkIA38Zm2s?si=5AtG3DTnyqp9laCPif you're really schizo about it then get a pure sinewave inverter, plug it into the generator and then plug your electronics into your inverter
>>2954660I assume that power is going to be pretty clean because it might be generated directly by the coils in the dynamo.If not, you could rectify it, put some capacitors on it to smooth it out, then re-AC-ify it with with a pure-sine generator. To step it down to, say, 12 volts you could use a big car charger transformer or perhaps one from an old welder.After you clean 20 years of caked on rat droppings off the top, maybe take a picture of what the AC generator system looks like.
>>2954653>nupower generatorlmao, fits the product very wellanon you should just clean those very well and try to sell them for a profitthose small 2 stroke engines will always run at max rpm and go through the entire fuel tank in just a couple of hours, which is a big no no in case of an emergency and only makes them good for small jobs on the fieldwhat i would do if i were you is buy a big engine generator. it'll run at idle most of the time, potentially drinking 1/4 of the fuel while providing 3-4x the power of the small guy
>>2954653Just buy a couple large power stations/battery things jackery whatever'sCharge the batteries with the generators, run everything off the batteries
I live in a 240 volt country and have seen those blow up smps filter capacitors. What I did to run my laptop charger off them was run it through a step down transformer to 180 volts or so which is ok seeing the charger can run from about 90 to 260 volts.>>2954677>2 stroke engines will always run at max rpm and go through the entire fuel tank in just a couple of hoursThese generators don't. They have governors and you can expect 6+ hours out of a tank on low loads. That said its good to give them a thrash at times on high loads to clear the oil out of the exhaust.
>>2954653I wonder if you can tinker with the governor to squeeze 1200w from those
>>2954653You're fine just like that.Those so called "sensitive" electronics will tolerate all but the dirtiest AC from the stinkiest shithole in Africa. By "dirtiest", I mean spikes exceeding the allowable P-P voltages, frequency drifts like 45-65hz or absolutely retarded harmonic distortion levels.
>>2954653>How do I get clean power from them so I can plug in my fridge and charge electronics without frying them during a power outage?buy a pure sinewave inverter generator.those things are shit. their voltage output is often too high 140v. you can adjust it, but then the frequency will drop.
