2000 watt inverter (1 Viewer)

[chrisgreen]

stage one testing complete:thumb:no problem's:thumb:
well only 1, had a small mishap with the uranium,but i think nextdoor's dog will get over it,anyway they will be able to find him in the dark now
this has gone viral,iv had NASA on the mobile,but could not speak to them as i was driveing,they will ring back if it's important:thumb:
lots of people walking about in dark suit's,must be looking at the house for sale three doors down
and i think i might have caught something,as my face is peeling

 

[chrisgreen]

I am willing to give Chris the benefit of doubt :thumb: after all he says he made one before only not as good Still cannot think which is the fastest way of charging a battery (inc out of the box) except a big charger but these come inside a box oh:
terry
come on Chris put us out of our misery :thumb:

not yet:thumb:

Stage one testing

i like this post
it would make a good avatar:thumb:

Phase 2
Were getting close to a fast charger

[chrisgreen]

stage 2 testing yesterday went well.
managed to get unit to charge at 14.5 volts and run stable at that:thumb:
charged 110 ah battery in no time,no drama's didnt get hot, if fact it does just what i thought it would do:thumb:
i will be posting pics later so all will be revealed?:thumb:

 

[chrisgreen]

not sure whether to post pic today,as the main body of it goes to the powder coaters on tuesday and a few things to fabricate today.

first pic's of the wonder machine:thumb:
ignore the big jump leads as they are just for test purpose's.:thumb:
as you see 14.5 volt:thumb:

 

[chrisgreen]

just done a run test on a fully charged 100ah battery,if i run 600watts through the inverter ,the drain on the battery is by my calc's 600/12=50 amps, my unit will happly run that with no power loss on the battery in fact it will continue to charge the battery
its not happy running a 1000watt's the inverter is but my unit is not. the next one i build will run 1500 watts no problem,now that iv proved to myself it works:thumb:

i could just run a genny and not bother with my unit,but if i was to pull 50amps out the battery, it would take a kipor 2600 genny chargeing at 8.3ah 6.2 hours to replace it.:shout:
cant comment on solar as i aint study'd them.(perhaps one of you could)
a 2600 kipor weight is 26kg dry thats 57.2lb,my unit is half that:thumb:
now iv got to pull it all to bit's to get the main body of it powder coated
and think about starting mk 2

Hi Chris, now you have me more confused oh:Where are you getting the power from ?EHU,GENNY or other source ?Glad it is working for you :thumb:

[scotjimland]

Simple question Chris..

what fuel are you using for this wonder machine ?

all will be revealed soon jim:thumb:
i want to finish it 100% before i reveal full detail's,inc cost:thumb:

To get 50amps from solar in midday sunlight would require a panel rated at around 1000watts which would be about 5sq metres, so if you had a largish RV and completely covered the roof with panels you might do it. Don't forget you offered to sell me the first 'unit'

 

[Terry]

5 sq mtrs of solar is hardly portable Don't forget (if I remember right) IT IS GOING TO BE HELD IN ONE HAND carried across a footy field by his wife :thumb: weigh less than a small genny,:thumb: bang enough power into a flat battery in 5 to 10 mins so it can start an engine and get power from god knows where The only thing ruled out so far is from another battery oh:

exactly correct:thumb:
just one point my wife could carry me(16 1/2 stone)and the genny across a football pitch no problem

tonight while sat in the workshop i solved a problem of power and by doubleing the power drive unit i could reach the target of 150ah.
this short youtube clip shows the power drive side:thumb:

That's amazing. 1500watts x 2 hamps per hour. brilliant. :Cool:

 

[scotjimland]

Any update Chris ??

Any update Chris ??

it's all in bit's at the moment jim:Sad:
took the main body to the powder coaters last tue, phoned him friday,picked it up today ,not been done,as he was doing me a favor,and was going to powdercoat it when doing other stuff,he reconed it might be a week or two,so i picked it up and going to spray it myself,but he did ask if i could build him one:thumb:
so thats three iv got to build,for other people:thumb:

Who is your Hampster supplier or is that a trade secret? I was wondering if they are any ETF's I could trade in for Hampsters as this discovery could lead to a shortage. Hampster = finite resource.

as you asked,i will tell you and only you:secret:
hampsterRus.
but i dont want everybody on the forum knowing,as this will as you say, lead to a shortage,im getting through about twenty hampsters a week running my unit at full chat.
but i have found another use for all the dead hampsters:thumb:

Maybe you need to look into hybrid fuel sources; a rat for the initial high-torque starting phase then a hamster for the constant cruising power.
Many other power sources are available.
Could your wife carry a donkey?

my wife is a donkeyBUT DONT TELL HER I SAID THAT
trouble is i have tried just what you said, but the rat ate the hampster's

pics of my unit.

firstly the stats
engine----honda
fuel----petrol
cc----50
output------up to 70amp/h
weight-----13-5kg
cost----less than £100
running time---1lt=2hours
noise level====noisey lol--a little louder than my ex650
output------14.8v

point of building it, is so that i can recharge batteries faster than my genny.
i have a honda ex650 genny and the weight of that is 25kg this complete is 13.5kg.and its smaller:thumb:

 

[chrisgreen]

more pics,showing it against my ex650

I saw it and thought engine driven alternater,nothing new there then
Then it hit meoh:

I'm a bit underwhelmed , I was looking forward to something a bit more revolutionary .. :Sad:

someone on the darkside has done similar ..

Inspired by a thread on a German forum , I decided to have a go at building a 12V petrol engine powered generator when I saw a suitable Honda engine on sale for below half price.

The basic setup is very simple:
- a small petrol engine (normally used in strimmers)
- linked to a brushless motor as used in RC models; these work as generators when driven
- a 3 phase rectifier
- I added a voltmeter, but that is not strictly necessary

can't give the link .. but google "DIY 12V generator/charger" should find it

and how many amps does that push out 1 amp if lucky on a screeming 2 stroke,its not the same might be 12v but not the same.not even similar.
and it was you lot that ran off with the idea not me:thumb:
i said it simple,i said its cheap,i said its been done before,but not in this configeration,i said it could push out 150amp/h that it cant do as the alternator is 70a/h max,i said it will charge a battery faster than a genny it does.
