Hiya Guy's
Well I've been busy I'm finally on making up my fisher& paykel wind genny but it's not so urgent now as I have to wait until I can get the new shunt regulator Oatley's are bringing out and my new 3kw sinewave inverter won't be here until the end of the month. I recently got 30 - 6 volt 105 amp/hour agm batteries for $250 so these batteries will be the base behind the new power scheme for my shed. As I already have 8-65 watt solar panels hooked upto 2 - 12 volt 200 amp/hour wet cell batteries and a 1700 watt mod sinewave inverter which isn't much chop. Anyway I'll take 6 of those 65 watt panels for the new array and keep the other 2 for the wet cells and change the panels back to 12 volts. This way I can dedicate the new battery array to the more seroius stuff like running my lathes and mills and the wet cells can have a mundane life providing lights and a 12 volt power source.
Another project is using a 5hp briggs & stratton motor hooked up to an F&P and I'm going to see how much amps I can get before the magnet stator melts but it doesn't matter as I can get F&P motors cheap but the idea is at what rpm 1400 or 1600 will give over a kilowatt of power at 24 volts. My mate who is a pioneer with the F&P is willing to help in this project so it could prove fruitfull.
So here's a topic revelant to alternate energy and I love love some comments to come in as I'm totally reliant on R.E. and I would like this part of the forum to be more Alternate Energy rather than scams like sterion etc.
