Listeroid Engines / Re: member etiquette and banning?
« on: December 02, 2013, 02:14:25 AM »
I'm sure I insulted the intelligence of a prominent member, and Bob gave me the ban hammer.
Steam doesn't have to 'dangerous' these days with the many monotube designs I've come across.
Induction heating adds a new twist to this system also. It's odd that with the world changfaing oops
changing almost at the speed of light we refuse to see said light. Things like Ultracapacitors are going
to revolutionize the energy field, no pun. The one area I saw some possibility was the 'small scale'
Fisher Tropsch  reactors to make your own custom biofuels from stuff like WMO. Staying in your
box only limits your ability to adapt to rapidly changing world. I work near a company that makes some
huge land drilling rigs, their top drives are going to be run with magnet powered direct drives, sound
familiar?

Sort of interesting reading this as I seemed to have ruffled someone's feathers on SOMRAD about
using 'steam' and it got a little 'heated'. Banished, no warning- no nothing. I'm sure nothing I could contribute
would be worth reading anyway, right? You can't take yourself too seriously here on the innernet
or you'll get a headache.

I had several surgeries to repair 2 hernias/feet and working on 700 lb engines ground to a halt but I'm
back innovating again. Designing a flash steam- motor oil fired boiler! Got the prints to build a Stanley
type steam engine. Got the Crankcase tacked together for my Lister Clone, going to be a busy winter.
ZeroG and I have a small enterprise together these days and will be moving our shop in a month.

Happy Holidays to all!

I bought this beauty thinking I was gonna go all 24v, looks like I'm staying
with the 12v back up plan.

The Inverter is 3500 watt at 60amps continuous. It has never been installed
and still in the box.

Price is $1,250.00 local in Houston or you cover the shipping. These sell for
an average of $1,800.00.

PM me or email @  bsnell1 at peoplepc.com (replace the at with @) email
would be best.

I'm presuming that Jim's engines can't be shipped stateside?

Generators / Re: forktruck batteries
« on: November 02, 2011, 10:58:28 AM »
Went to see the local fork truck man. Asked if he'd any old batteries, and he'd just let some go to the scrap man.  but gave him my number and asked him to let me know when he had some more. he was talking Four hundred GB pounds. My question is. How can i test these batteries to see if they will be usable/suitable for my lister and a 95amp alternator. and an inverter. ? if you understand.  If anyone would care to answer,  to a none electrical person please. so in words that I would be able to understand. Thank you Newlister.

You'd probably be better off getting some Trojan 105's, they are 6 volt Golf Cart Batt's and use them in series/parallel
to achieve the amp hour/voltage you are seeking. I did a lot of looking at used forklift batt's they are a mixed
bag, many places here locally will use them till they only have between 50 to 60% left in them, they generally
need to run 8 hours thru an entire shift so as they wear out they cause problems. Pallet Jack Batteries are
probably better than 'fork lift' types they also tend to be 24 volt rather than 36/48v and are excessesively heavy.

Just got 2 24v Nickel Iron Batts off the truck yesterday and my 5000lb forlift knew they were on there. These
guys were built in the seventies by exide who bought out the Edison Battery co. According to my supplier these
are still holding 90% capacity.

Listeroid Engines / Re: 6/1 Listeroid Kit Progress - Test Run
« on: May 11, 2011, 11:20:49 PM »
The Cylinder Block in Gary's 'kit' does not have a liner also. 

I was over at Zero's work shop today and he has done an excellent job
putting his engine to work. Now if I can  just coax him over to MY work shop
and assist with mine ;D

Listeroid Engines / Re: maybe we should make our own engines ?

I'm from TEXAS and I'm here to help ;D

Guys, never give up, once you internalize defeat by the Government it's
all over. Fortunately we only have 18mos of this stupidity from the Regulators.
I'm very polically active here and will do everything in my power to squash
the activists that are attempting to kill off small business.

I'm not building an engine either ::)   to be continued..................................

I guess you succeeded. I'll just keep the project to myself.

My gut tells me that by the time all is in  the Lister hungry will wish they had some some of those junky, sandy Indian engines to tear apart and make well :-\.  Ya'll aint goen to like the price of an American cast and machined engine sold in parts and pieces, take it to the bank.
 
 My opinion and Im stick'en to it. ;D

So your suggestion would be to...............................

Shoot EPA  inspectors upon site. >:(  
The answer is there is no answer to the good/cheap/ legal engine of this type.
It is my opinion that it is pure fallicy to think that some western world person or group is going invest the time and money to design, cast, machine, and properly assemble and engine to western world standards, all the while dodging the EPA  AND do it for the sport of it financially,,, it just aint going to happen. Put some money into the equation for the people doing the work and some kind of return on the investment and you will quickly find out why they quit building them a Dursey. I think a person would be looking at $8000.00 engines minimum,  Put a living wage and insurance and EPA regulation into the equation and they could cost $15K or more given the limited market.  How short is the waiting line going to be for 15K 6/1 Listers? Going back to my post #1 it sure makes an Indian clone parts set, 2K and a couple weeks of my time an attractive option to an American built engine. Those that have not the skills, time or equipment to rebuild and Indian engine are SOL,,again,, in my opinionated (slightly) opinion

My friend here Zero G built a 6/1 that he got from Gary, he may be able to
help if you need it. You can check out the Microcogen board for more help
also. Mine is undergoing a major prebuild overhaul, more on it later.

Listeroid Engines / Re: What spare parts should I have at home?

Cowboy

I too survived Ike and was runnin' a screamer for well over a week. It will be a
cold day in Hell before I do that again. My place is just south of Alvin and I have
a pile of spares for the 6/1 roid. Folks in other, safer places don't understand our
need to be ready for a disaster like we do on the coast.
