Silent Diesel Generator

[auroraron]

@davepaula123 Really? You can't get parts for these? Try looking at the website before you make comments like this that show you only here to spam. Every single part is available online and has been for last 6 years on Aurora Generators. You must be one of those guys who purchased some clone and got what you paid for. Only Aurora Generator have electrical approval in North America. You get what you pay for.

[Hakkeholt]

That's a really nice generator, as long as it's new :D

[9200j]

aw man no smoke

[vochitoken]

average cost?



[neolexington]

looks nice but must cost a fortune.

[miviezgeneration]

how do you start it without the remote

[DeepFriedFuzzball]

That's a really nice generator, I'm assuming in America the engines are set to run at 3600 rpms to give 60 Hz and here in England they are set to 3000 rpms to give 50 Hz right?? I have to say I'm one of these people who don't mind buying "made in China" stuff, yeah some stuff isn't fantastic but some of the more expensive engines and generators are very good. I know this is an Aurora generator, but what brand of engine is used on them?? I'm just curious.....Nice genny though :]

[relicright]

whats the advantage to running in diesel?

[asubjectiveopinion]

Can this be converted to run on PPO?

[187dAFeD]

Have you attempted to use Biodiesel in the generator?

[dsisa27]

It's the generaaator :-)

[1bakerman1]

The real question is can it be run on Bio-diesel or UVO? That would make is a useful tool in getting off the grid!

[brandon14872]

how did you wire in that wireless remote?

[jjr897]

@brandon14872 it comes with that remote.

[LOOKITS4SALE]

Hi, I plan to purchase one of these next month. My only issue I have is EVERY time someone post a video of this unit they NEVER have it running under load OR they plug up a single lamp or small air conditioner.

Show what this unit can do! Put 2 or 3 big items on it at the same time. You will show the power and how loud it is under stress.

Please post a video like that and then you will have a real eye catching commercial.

Thank you in advance.

[dtiydr]

This is a 4-stoke?

[TheDieselGene]

i need one that actually is silent so when the solar flare and emp comes ill be ready so no one tries to take it or know its there i have a ditch dug in my backyard with underground wires and a electromagnetic shield

[vetttech1999]

Very nice even comes with romote start !

[UpcomingJedi]

So....what is the difference in performance of a deisel vs. unleaded gas generator? Longevity, noise difference, ....anything else?

[thedarkone2134]

@UpcomingJedi Diesel is more efficient so if you have the same amount of gas and diesel the diesel will last longer.

[francovance1]

@UpcomingJedi Economy!

[beaman220]

Needs a turbo.

[dubbified]

quiet, but not silent.

[luckyvet]

This is a win/win - the efficiency of running a Diesel engine (uses significantly less fuel vs Gasonline engines) and the fact its made in China - therefore less than 1/2 the price of American made products.

Where can I buy one?

[xTheCatsModZx]

looks well built

[DontTread0nMe1776]

"Made in China", bummer



[auroraron]

@DontTread0nMe1776 There is not one portable made in the USA by anyone. Diesel that is. Why is Made in China a bummer? Did you look and see where Honda and Yamaha are made?

[weasel884]

@auroraron only reason its a bummer is because parts are impossible to get,other than that it would be very nice to have.

[auroraron]

@weasel884 Look at the website, every single part is available and has been for the last 6 years. Canada and USA

[nznev45]

@auroraron. I have no idea why so many people have a problem with made in China. The whole world is made in China. Get over yourselves.

[punkngoth]

@auroraron japain china cant get a safety rating

[auroraron]

@punkngoth Not true. Go see Aurora Generators site. They are all approved to CSA standard 22.2 No 100. It beats UL Standards. No other company has one that is electrically approved or is legal now.

[younitehumanity]

I run my car on 70% diesl fuel and 30% filtered waste motor oil. Do you think this generator will be able to do the same?

[auroraron]

@younitehumanity Hard to answer that one. Too much difference between normal automotive diesel and bio diesels. Lube properties and flash points are very important.

[patzivota22]

Very cool--diesel is the sh**

[arifskt]

how much its cost ?

[woww1994]

u could run it off vegtable oil haaha

[1974Alfa5Spd]

I wouldn't exactly call it silent, but it's a damn sight quieter than some of the generators I've heard. Can it be run on biodiesel?

[qwertzu3]

aaaand... how loud are the "not silent" ones?

[auroraron]

@qwertzu3 Portable Diesel Generators ar often 76 db in noise. The enclosed ones like this are under 69 db. The term "Silent" has been used in the industry for many years. If you compare 76 db to 69 db then you too would call it "Silent" It would be better to call them Silenced rather then Silent but we can't change the world and how people refer to them.

[bigman55434]

@auroraron These aren't even close to "not very loud", let alone "silent". Once you get these down in the 58-59db range of the honda inverter generators, I think you would be safe using the term "silent".

[B0DYR0T]

@bigman55434 Pretty damn silent compared to an old Lister...

[kiwirock30]

@qwertzu3 to be fair (I'm an ex radio tech), home cameras have an AGC (automatic gain control) in them. if something is not that loud, the agc in the camera will deliberately amplify the volume quite a lot. this is so quiet spoken people still sound ok watching home movies. only on a more professional camera and setup can you record at fixed level. you'd also have to record a noisy generator as a reference using the same gear/setup from the same distance to give you an idea of the difference.

[jearls82]

That's a pretty queer definition of "silent" you have there.

[auroraron]

@InsaneVender LOL YUP. There is not one single company making portable diesel generators in north america. Too many cheap rednecks bitch about made in china but are not willing to pay double for made in the USA. Only gas is made in the USA by Generac but their shares just dropped this last 1/4 and sales are down. Too bad they don't have diesel either.

[auroraron]

@MastaF0035 All portable diesels you will find are 3600 RPM. Life is on average 1500 - 2000 hours on this brand, 500 hours less on others. Using synthetic oil makes a difference.

[hiyadroogs]

@auroraron The life of the engine could be vastly extended by not starting from cold & going straight up to full power revs. Although I understand that is the tough life of a generator engine. They reckon 90% of the wear in any engine occurs in the first 5 minutes after a cold start, as the components work their way up to working temperature tolerances. Is this a Hyundai 10 hp diesel?

[fastmaxx400]

Where would you get parts for a generator like this? I would have no trouble buying one if I knew when it broke I would be able to fix it.

[auroraron]

@fastmaxx400 EmergencyPower dot (com) all the parts are available and can be purchased online

[Jthumper]

sounds like its running much to fast for a diesel, sounds almost like a gasser's 3600 rpm engine.

[auroraron]

@Jthumper Portable Generators run at 3600 RPM. Larger water cooled units run at 1800 RPM. You cant find a portable water cooled generator.

[frosty9595]

Definitely not silent but quiet yes

[TakeOprisoners]

Can it run on veggie oi! Yes it can. You sell your sunflower oil at the farmer's market, and use the cash to buy diesel from Shell!!

[stargis777]

I want one...! how much does it cost?

[civlyzed]

Thanks for posting this video...I really want one of these!

[RickMHobson]

Since it'sa diesel engine, could you run that generator off of vegitable oil in warm weather?

[edstar83]

nice

[pngiscool]

Does this come in a 50 hz model? What about having Australian style 220/240 volt plugs on it?

[propilot1128]

you are correct, the modern diesel engines are very clean burning. But, i hav seen a few of them at the campgrounds, and the owners do complain about the smell of the exaust. in a house it wouldnt be a problem but it is somthing to think about.

[auroraron]

Lots of cheap clones on the market. Unless it says Aurora on it.... You can see the exhaust is clear here. Others build cheap and the end result is a engine that smokes and exhaust that does not do what it should.

[dnl5649]

that is not silent but it sure does run clean

diesel only stinks if the machine is running wrong but if it is running good it will not smell

[mreisma]

can this run on vegetable oil

[TakeOprisoners]

Yes. You sell your sunflower seed oil at the farmers market, and use the money to buy diesel from Shell!

[8tyman8]

they smoke when you draw alot

[auroraron]

Black smoke is from unburned fuel. The engine under full load does not bog down and runs normally never leaving any unburned fuel. There is also a catalytic converter that helps reduce emission. I think your experiences are with other brands. We have the coolest running and the highest quality we can manufacture. We now have CSA approval also and that is something no other manufacture has been able to do.
