My setup I have at camp, I'm using a 3.5hp lawnmower engine attached to an PMA and both wind and solar.

  • what kind of pma are you using -windblue? or another , or something that you built?

  • Do a ebay search for "HighAmp PMA Permanent Magnet Alternator Generator SC18F"

  • Free power with the cost of gasoline. Do you have neighbors?

  • Nope, the camp is located on a Walleye/Pike lake that has 5 camps on it, the camps are spread out all over the lake, the closest to me is over a mile away.

  • I posted this video just to show people my set up, yes running a lawnmower engine isn't the cleanest, I seldom run the lawnmower anyways, I used to run a big 4000 watt generator but not anymore, with the amount of wind and sun my batteries recharge themselves from half to full in a couple weeks, I use the engine only if there is no wind while I'm there, its a great setup, charges the batteries from half to full in 8 hours of runtime using the lawnmower engine, 10 bucks in gas.

  • the gas powered engine is suspicious

  • What exactly do you mean suspicious? it's just a 3.5 hp lawnmower engine.

  • what and how is the 3.5hp motor incorporated into your system?

  • Also if you search thru the videos on youtube you will find ones that use just the fumes to run motors and will never stop. so basically 1 quart of gas can run your engine indefinately just off fumes

  • Deep cycle marine batteries are better, I've used truck batteries and they sulfate if you don't always charge them full

  • You can dig a hole for the generator to sit in to dampen the noise to almost non existence. US Army does this on maneuvers. :D

  • @stuckinwawa not bad at all, i gotta try this!

  • whatever. He is using gas also to run that motor. Its not all free. He just made a big mess..

  • yes try running the alt. with a d/c electric scooter moter 500wats 24v is the right moter . peptueal mochn
