I loved it. The whole Blair Witch Project camera thing made it feel like that generator wasn't coming together a moment too soon. Mad Max!

What kind of side shaft engine was that?

[slainwolf180]

think it was a villiars sidevalve, see you made a simaliar type of chager too

The background music is good, I think it's a tune called Nato's Theme by Fly My Pretties

[slainwolf180]

i beleive you are probebly right

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

lol i did that too when ya need a battery charger in some place where ya dont have electricity, i still have my old starter generator but all i need is a 5 hp horzontal engine and i have me another gas powered charger.... good work 5/5

Thanks, not that many years ago there was alot of these types of things but electricty has spread almost nation wide since then

we made one with a 60amp alternator and an electric motor in a frame. very fast, controlled charging system, and quite !! perfect for the workshop!!

Word of warning never use wood as a insulator it conducts electric better than Kermit the frog's teeth and thats never a good thing... ignore my warning at your peril, Beril...

[slainwolf180]

depends on how you do it, magnets in the hub with the coils motor from an old fisher&pikel smart-drive washing machine mounted on the axle could work but solar sounds fairly simple & you can buy solarchargers pre-made

"wireing"???????? WTF IS WIREING

Do you have a homemade headache remedy ? Unwatchable.
