Lister Based Generators / Re: induction motor as generator fail
« on: March 15, 2018, 01:59:16 PM »
The project I'd like to see is the inverse of this one; turn the ST-3 or ST-5 into a starter motor, which will then got back to being an alternator.

BruceM,
Now THAT ! would be a very useful item. A startomatic ROID.  :D

Is that even possible?
Please keep us posted if you proceed with such a project.

(I have a spare ST3 kicking around)

Listeroid Engines / Re: Hello from new member, 16-2 and 10 KW genset

welcome !

And congrats on a very nice Listeroid system.

Looks like the engine is mounted on a separate concrete pad.?
If so, how deep into the ground does the pad extend?

A solar boiler powering something like this could keep batteries topped up.
Wood fire as a backup.

Bulk charge with this unit and have a few PV panels to do the topping off.

So...how does he keep the steam (water condensation) from getting past the rings and into the oil.?
A vertical cylinder along with gravity may not be helping the matter.

At about 1:07 you can see the flywheel. Looks in the right position so I would say the thing has the original clutch.
Earlier in the vid you can see the manual shift lever and the clutch pedal which looks the right height.


Ah ! yes....I see that now. Good eye !

Back to that original video....
There is no clutch !
A clutch mounts on a automotive engine flywheel.
I can only guess that the user must push the vehicle a bit and then pull it into 1st. gear....then jump in.
I'm not aware of any type of clutch that could fit on the end of that jackshaft just before the transmission.  ???

Generators / Re: Any flicker when using a 3600 rpm head with a Roid ?

glort,

"QUOTE: I have run computers, TV's and other electronic gear off square wave inverters and cheap generators with no AVR and NEVER had a problem."

WOW! I had no idea that computers and many electronics could be run from a modified sine inverter. Excellent !!  I have several mod sine inverters that could be put to use.

One of the concerns I have is that this is a backup system powering a fridge and furnace (with electronic control board).
That's where my flicker concern comes in.
So just hooking it up and trying it may be costly if these appliances are overly sensitive.
