MAKING YOUR OWN ELECTRICITY THE NEW DIESEL GENERATOR

[TYPE1TEEZ]

Sorry for the last post. I hit send by mistake. Really really nice videos. Super cool. Thanks putting this out there.

[TYPE1TEEZ]

Wow, I ran up on your channel and I will be honest. I totally blown

[SquirrelFromGradLife]

If you're running the generator a lot it would make sense to use the heat from the water cooling and exhaust through a basic heat exchanger into heating for your house next to the heat pump.

As always, a detailed professional vid that is a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing.

I do like watching you work. Nice upgrade. You know the one thing thats great about watching OBX videos is when you also have (nothing like his setup) your own Solar and Generator. It helps keep the jealousy down (but just a small percentage) I have been on alternate power at least 5 times since the beginning of this year. It is just the only way to go. And it can be done economically if you use your brain and have some patience. And Kevin is one of the best sources out there. Thank you Sir!

I love this stuff !!!

What type of water pressure do you need to have on the intake side of the generator..I'm sure that it will decide if its feasible for the average home owner

[SurviveN2]

I'm trying to get caught up on my video watching....LOL. Thanks for sharing the generator info. Take Care :-))

[01hondaeater]

Is the Isuzu motor the same one that the company put in the trucks? If so how would someone go about building a gen head? i can get one or two at the local yard be was wondering about how to build my own gen head. thanks for the vids.

LOVE the Rush playing in the background!

clean set up  very good mate

[cokeman250]

Lookin good man God Bless

[rchopp]

OBX, great video as always, with a little creativity and the right parts could that marine generator be converted to a radiator and a standard type exhaust ? just a thought. thanks for sharing..

[landshark22]

Sweet looking setup. Glad to see you made it through ok.

[thomastaylor77]

What does one of those cat generators cost? And can it be run on propane or natural gas with a conversion kit?

[greg2000ad]

Great video sir....

[wildbill23c]

Excellent video. I have a Champion 3500 Watt generator which I never even get close to the rating on it, is there a way to cut the throttle back on the smaller engines. Yes I know its a cheap generator and not to expect much out of it but I got a great deal on it, it was mismarked at my local outdoors store for $189 they sell for $400. I only use it for running camp equipment like lights and a heater.

Zinc Chromate Rules Bro! Aviation standard stuff. Nice Unit bro! Thanks for showing us!

[greatwhitejake]

isuzu eh? i have heard nothing but good out of isuzu engines so that has to be a great generator. i am going to put a 4cyl isuzu diesel in my 88 ranger, should get around 40mpg. i got a 2.9l in it now and that thing drinks the fuel, im used to getting 40mpg so im not happy about 20mpg. anyways that engine shouldnt use hardly any fuel, think im gonna buy one. great vids, informative and not taxing in the slightest to watch.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

I give up ! You guys are just to much for me to keep up with. lol.....

[RoflmaoAtSheepeople]

Its a great Gen-set and it will run for a 2,000 hours more be for a top end job thats all I would do Have diesels since I was a kid and they still run like the day their were made. later great vid I Like

[wyattoneable]

Thanks for all the info.

[amusingisthedawn]

you should let people know, you can install a gen set that uses a radiator inside as long as you duct in/out some good air glow

[fogwarning101]

Hello Kevin. I have a video request. Can you please get into more details on parts of the diesel engine. I know gas and genset functionality but no experience with diesels. Showing the cooling path was the tease.... need more!

great vids - love your youtube page.

Best, Bill

[dafrogtoad]

Hmm..I might have a diesel JUST like that in my stash..have to look. Cool vid OBX..thanks for sharing.

[fog360]

nice.

[ristin59]

Sweet! Good to see things are getting back to normal.

[drainocleanser]

Nice generators. I'm going the lister diesel clone route.

[minbound]

@obxsolwind very nice new addition my friend, as far as questions go, what could Ironhead41 kiss? LOL, glad to see your doing well my friend.

[Frequencitee]

I miss the accent. I miss the people. I miss Ocracoke, Kitty Hawk, the Assateagues, the Pony runs, the National Wildlife Refuge, Duck, Corolla, etc....

Good job! The "Prepper" community is shining bright.

[millster101]

New to the Emp thing, You mentioned Solid state so it wont be affected . I was wondering what was solid state ?

[scarmenl]

Thank you sir. Really looking forward to the rest of the series. Great info.  Could you, if possible, go into a bit on what the hush boxes are made of as far as sound dampening material goes?

Also do you know if there are generator heads that can run a much higher rpm's?

Thanks again for the look at your setup.

All the best

Stephen

[OBXSOLWIND]

@scarmenl Most small generators run at 3600RPMs. The faster an engine goes the shorter the life span thats why industrial gensets can go for thousands of hours between overhauls. The new generator should be good for about 12000hrs without much work. Thanks for watching..

Cool Generator.

[modoc42]

Must have been a good feeling to get those shutters opened back up. Glad you faired the storm okay and were able to help out others in their time of need. God bless.

[OBXSOLWIND]

@modoc42 It did feel good. What feels better is closing them. I did just fine. some of my friends from my old stomping grounds on Hatteras Island did not fair so well.. Thanks for the Blessing and may God bless you and yours ass well..

[modoc42]

@OBXSOLWIND Thanks for blessing my 'ass well'. ha-ha-ha Little typo? Too funny.

[MrFlGarden]

Good stuff as always!
