The Tesla generator is an important source of alternative energy

Alternative sources of energy are organic and help improve the environment because these sources of energy does not emit toxic emissions as traditional energy production. In addition, alternative energy sources use inexhaustible energy sources and aid in the conservation of scarce natural resources. These are some of the alternative sources of energy and its advantages.

First of all let's the millennial wind use as energy source has already been used for centuries. This particular energy source takes advantage of its rapid movement of air to power the blades of the turbine. The power of resulting rotation then becomes usable energy with the help of generators. In the past, windmills were quite popular that transforms the mechanical movement of the blade in physical energy for grinding grain and pumping water.

One of the main disadvantages of wind energy is due to the variation in the flow of the wind and the result is an inconsistent flow of power. Another disadvantage is that this form of energy storage for later use.

Solar energy is an alternative source of energy, use of solar energy to power a number of devices and is commonly used for home interior, heating and cooking. The energy obtained from the rays of the Sun turns into electrical energy. Even a simple act allow sunlight into the room to produce heat is a passively for this type of energy.

There are two main drawbacks in using solar energy. It may not be produced during the night or on cloudy days. Another major problem is that the construction of huge solar panels require large initial cost; Therefore the majority of people stay away from the use of this energy.

Geothermal means the heat of the Earth. Geothermal alternative resources use heat stored below the Earth's surface. Hot rock underground Molten heated underground water to generate steam. Then the high-pressure steam is released through holes drilled in large quantities to run huge turbines.

The main drawbacks when the use of geothermal energy is

If the power generation process is not properly, geothermal energy production produces pollutants harmful and this result in the release of harmful gases and release of ore. Another drawback is that the energy obtained from geothermal sites is limited to the exhaustion of steam.

Hydropower has been used as a source of energy for centuries. Hydroelectricity uses hydraulic power to works like other resources alternative and generators and turbines of the unit. This special energy is to take advantage of water dammed. Electric turbine generators are driven by the gravitational attraction from which water flows. Hydro generators can be used to store water for future use, also for running backwards.

The main problem with this particular type of energy is that it is very expensive to build hydroelectric dams. There are important limitations that this form of energy can not be channelled in areas with a powerful insufficient supply of water.

On the other hand the Tesla generator is unusual in that was invented more than a hundred years ago and still only recently it has become a viable alternative energy source. Using a Tesla generator to turn your House into home to alternative energy is an ecological as well as highly profitable option. Tesla generators outweigh all disadvantages of other alternative sources of energy.

These easy to use compact generators can be constructed in less than $100 and they can produce up to 4.5 megawatts of power. This is enough to fuel alternative energy full House continuously with electricity spare.

A user can integrate all the necessary components of these dynamic generators in a fully functional unit in less than an hour. In addition, the Government pays the discount the user to generate excess electricity. And this is another great advantage of using these generators.

Finally, these generators small Tesla take up very little space and are light in weight which can be easily along the camping or hiking trips. There now is no need to lose valuable natural resources and money. Build your own Tesla generator with minimum budget and pride themselves on saving money, as well as natural resources.

Winergy’s HYBRIDDRIVE Gearbox and Generator Combo

Winergy is a German company long known for its quality and innovation in gearboxes and drive systems for wind turbines.

At the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) Windpower Conference and Expo last month, Winergy introduced its new 3 MW HYBRIDDRIVE technology, which combines a 2-stage gearbox and a permanent magnet generator into one product (Winergy press release).

According to Winergy’s press release, the new design provides the advantages of reduced size and weight of the nacelle and drive train:

The direct linkage of the two stage gearbox and the permanent-magnet driven generator shortens the drive train by approximately 35%. This design allows for a significant reduction of the nacelle size and minimization of the overall weight.

Winergy found the inspiration for its new gearbox and generator combo from work performed by Global Energy Concepts LLC (GEC) in a DOE funded study for the WindPACT program back in 2000 – 2002.

The GEC drivetrain utilized a 2-stage gearbox with a CARB bearing which allows the second stage to free float to maintain alignment between the gear mesh of the first and second stages of helical gears. This has the benefit of being able to absorb most deflections and off axis loading conditions encountered by the stochastic nature of the wind.

Although it also utilizes a 2-stage gearbox, instead of a CARB bearing, the Winergy HYBRIDDRIVE has a different internal bearing arrangement. Winergy’s web site doesn’t provide details, but one of the company’s representatives at the AWEA Conference indicated that they have a double row tapered roller bearing arrangement and bushings with elastomeric dampers as well as a torque tube to accommodate loading and deflections.

Two-stage gearboxes are not new for Winergy. The company also owns U.S. Patent No. 6,459,165 (’165 Patent), which is entitled “Drive train for a windmill” and relates to drive train architecture that utilizes a double row helical set of gearing. It is possible that this prior IP has contributed to the design of the HYBRIDDRIVE system.

The ’165 Patent is directed to a transmission arrangement for a wind turbine including a rotor (1) with several blades (3) secured in a hub (2). The rotor (1) is connected to a generator (6) via a two-stage planetary transmission comprising an input stage (4) and an output stage (5).

The hub (2) is directly connected to the base (10) of the input stage (4) of the two-stage planetary transmission, which is entirely contained in the hub (2). According to the ’165 Patent, this arrangement provides a more compact transmission suitable for higher outputs:

The object of the present invention is a wind-power plant that is more compact and accordingly appropriate for higher outputs, of 2.5-5 MW, is only slightly heavier, and is less complicated. Directly connecting the hub to the input stage of the two-stage planetary transmission renders the transmission more compact.

Winergy also owns U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010/0160104 (’104 Application), entitled “Epicyclic gearbox for a wind power installation” and directed to a forced lubrication system on a two stage drivetrain.

Lubrication is an obvious necessity of rotating machinery, but a forced lubrication system saves the cost of a separate external system with pumps and other associated components, and it can also improve overall drivetrain efficiency. The ’104 Application discusses one way in which a forced lubrication system can be made to work for a two stage gearbox with independent channels for each stage

It remains to be seen if the new Winergy design will prove to be as good as the free floating CARB bearing design in terms of reliability and the ability to absorb loads. Winergy advertised the HYBRIDDRIVE at 25 tons, which is very light if that metric actually includes the generator weight. However, it was unclear from the self-contained drivetrain on display at the Expo whether the generator was integrated in what was shown.

One caveat to a lighter weight gearbox is that they need to be able to prevent deflections of the gearbox housing, which can lead to significant reliability issues. Scrimping on housing mass to save weight might contribute to deflection problems and misalignments of their gears.

We’ll have to wait and see if this is a long term issue. If the 25 tons is just the gearbox without the generator, then this isn’t terribly light at all and the extra mass there may serve to inhibit some of those deflections.

The deflection issues are also prevalent because wind turbine OEMs are chasing higher capacity factor ratings with the increased rotor diameters, and the loads on the drivetrain and tower are increasing as a result. The proof will be in the pudding for Winergy as they test and deploy this solution for Fuhrländer AG for their new 3MW, 120m rotor turbine for IEC Class IIa.

With the reliability of the direct drive systems yet to be proven, it’s great to see innovation on gearbox driven designs which take advantage of 30+ years of development and testing to enable more reliable solutions. After all, as Winergy says, “Reliability is our profession.”

HHO Generator Installation

HHO Generator Safety Advice

HHO Generator installation Instructions is/was used for the old wire coil electrolysis units. It is left here as a courtesy for those still using this technology.

For a more efficient HHO unit it seems best to go with the Dry Cell format. I highly recommend visiting Dry Cells. Dry Cells is operated by Mike Kehrli, who has done a fantastic job with his EFIE Units.

Incorrectly installing or incorrectly using Waterfuel technology may result in serious damage or body injury. Read and follow the instructions and safety precautions given here and in relevant places throughout this book to avoid these hazards. If you do not understand these instructions or do not like working on vehicles, have your mechanic do the installation.

It should take 20 to 30 minutes to install.Work outside, no smoking; make sure the engine is not hot.Wear goggles and gloves and only use professional tools; usecommon sense and general safety procedures used for automotive installations and maintenance. If you're not sure, ASK!

Yes, HHO is combustible ? AFTER IT ENTERS THE ENGINE ? that's the whole point. Yet your Waterfuel system does NOT store hydrogen when installed properly, so there is no fire hazard due to hydrogen storage. So again, don't let people who don't understand the system intimidate you or tell you about non-existent hazards. Waterfuel technology cools downthe engine and adds safety to any car.

Mount the HHO Water fuel device in the engine compartment. It should be mounted flat and level, and secured is such a manner as to assure that it cannot bounce around when the vehicle hits bumps etc.

Position the device so that it can easily be accessed and can be conveniently removed and filled with water, or cleaned, serviced or inspected.

IMPORTANT: INSTALL THE DEVICE AWAY FROM HOT AREAS as much as possible. If you're not sure where that is, Harbor Freight Tools has a digital non-contact thermometer for under $7 (item 93983-2VGA). Use this tool to locate the coolest available place in the engine area.

I cannot give you an exact number here for what is ?too hot?, because there is a combination of heating factors here: weather, engine, and the electrolysis process itself. All I can tell you that in two cases the electrolyzer mostly melted and only the glass survived. In both cases this occurred as a result of

(1) too much heat radiated by the engine through the air to the electrolyzer, and

(2) too much electrolyte in the HHO generator. There is a situation called Thermal Runaway, where an increase in temperature changes the conditions (in this case the rise in electrical current) that causes a further increase in temperature - leading to a destructive result.

You can prevent this from happening by: 1. Use ONLY DISTILLED WATER. Filtered water are NOT distilled water!

2. Starting with no more than 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda, and add gradually only when you're sure no excess heat is being generated.

3. Install away from heat. If this is not possible block the engine heat as much as possible by placing a heat shield (bubble wrap covered by aluminum foil) between the electrolyzer and the engine. Leave at least 1-2? air space around the electrolyzer.

A mounting bracket can be easily fashioned from copper and/or galvanized plumber?s strap. (Not supplied.) In other cases a small rubber pad (not supplied and usually not necessary) and/or two bungee cords (not supplied) may be adequate. Rarely there may be vehicles that do not have enough space in the engine compartment to mount the device.

A possible solution is to use the area in front of the radiator. Fasten the device to the car's frame or anything other the radiator, belts or moving parts, and make sure that it does not touch the radiator. That's it for the mechanical installation and location. Now let's move for connections and supply lines. The HHO Water4Gas device is operated by vacuum pressure from your vehicle?s engine, plus 12 Volt supply from your vehicle?s electrical system.

Vacuum lines are supplied from the engine to various car systems, and you should best use the system that gets the highest vacuum. The idea is to Suck the HHO into a place such as the Carburetor or the Intake Manifold, where it can be automatically mixed with the existing fuel/air mixture. Connect the output to the carb/intake manifold.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE BRAKES VACUUM LINE. This is usually a very thick black hose that connects between the engine and the Brake Vacuum Booster (usually a large drum on the firewall on the driver side): The PCV valve* line usually makes a good connection.

Vehicles with EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) should also be connected at or near the intake manifold. * Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve, or PCV valve, is a one-way valve that ensures continual refreshment of the air inside a gasoline internal combustion engine's crankcase.

WARNING: DO NOT SHORTEN THE VACUUM LINE between the engine intake and the jar. Keep the line (hose) at least 4 ft long. This length must be kept to enhance safety and prevent damage to the device.

A universal vacuum line T-Connector is provided as well as a length of vacuum hose to make the connection. A wide range of vacuum fittings is readily available at any auto parts store (plastic fittings will do for this use). Note that the Universal Vacuum T-Connector is...well, universal. Its edges are usually too small for the hose, and should be trimmed (edge cut off) with a knife.

The HHO generator is designed to operate on 12 Volts. Refer to the wiring diagram below. If you?re not sure consult your auto mechanic (electric), or contact us for help.

1. Connect the black terminal of the device to the negative terminal of the vehicle?s battery, using the wire WITHOUT FUSE (black wire). If the battery is too far, connect it to the firewall or extend the wire all the way to the battery.

2. Identify a point in your vehicle?s electrical system which has a 12 Volts (positive) present ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON (Position 2 of the Ignition Switch), such as the starter solenoid, window wiper motor, or similar circuit.

3. Turn the switch off and take out the key. Connect positive (12 Volts) to the red terminal of the device, using the FUSED wire supplied (red), to the point you?ve identified above.

4. To protect the wiring from long term damage, you can now put the newly installed wires into what's called ?split flex tubing?. You can find it in all major hardware stores such as Ace, Home Depot. Don't buy it online ($5 +S&H) because in the shop it's only 99 cents for 10 ft.

NOTES:In most newer vehicles the fuses are located in a box, in the engine compartment. I just plug the wire into the fuse holder and reinsert the fuse. Usually it is a 10 Amp or 15 Amp ignition circuit, that I use. In some older cars where there was nofuse box to connect to, the wiper motor was found most useful as a supply point. I just splice into the SWITCHED 12 Volts and it works well. ? In some cars the electrical system may be in reverse (RED wire to the body of the car, or to the battery itself). If it gets confusing, consult an auto electrician who isfamiliar with your specific model.

Fill the jar with DISTILLED WATER, leaving 1? of free space at the top. Add 1/8 teaspoon of Electrolyte (pure Baking Soda) to the 32oz HHO Generator.

Close the jar. HHO Units should draw about 2 AMPS of power. More Baking Soda may be added but, make sure the units operate cool and don't overheat. Running the units too hot will create steam and that will cause a drop in mileage and engine performance.

1. Start with NO electricity, by taking out the fuse or leaving one of the terminals disconnected (make sure it doesn't touch metal parts of the car to prevent fuse blowout).

2. Turn the Vacuum Adjustment Valve (sometimes called ?Bubbler Cap? or just ?Bubbler?) fully CLOCKWISE. Then turn it half-turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.

3. Turn the engine and watch the bubbling action coming out of the lower end of the thin tubing inside the device (here by the way is the great advantage of having a strong glass jar instead of metal or non clear plastic ? total transparency andvisibility!) Gradually turn the Vacuum Adjustment Valve and watch the bubbling action in the jar. Adjust the valve until there is a small amount of bubbling action.

4. Turn off the engine.

5. Connect the electricity by putting the fuse on and making sure all connections are tight (hand force only).

6. Start the engine again and watch the electrolyzing action between the spiral electrodes. A yellowish gas (HHO) will start forming and flow toward the top of the jar.

7. Within a short time (roughly 30 seconds), you will notice that the engine starts to sound quite differently. It will sound smoother and quieter. Its RPM may be unstable for a couple minutes. This is normal ? the HHO is starting to change thecombustion cycle and cancels the pinging ? and the engine is now adjusting to the changes.

HHO Generator Store

I am creating the HHO Generator Store page as a resource for those interested in comparing and purchasing hydrogen generators and the needed accessories. As many of you may know, I have been supplying the Water4Gas generators over the past year and actually was doing quite well with it until the economic slowdown in the Fall of 2008.

I very much appreciate those who purchased HHO generators from my family. I must admit it kept us all going. it was indeed a family operation involving my wife Lynette and my younger son Joshua.

It also took a toll on us in regard to time. Between teaching high school chemistry and coaching and trying to be a manufacturer, purchaser, customer service representative .... there were times I could not keep up. It was a great blessing when gas prices dropped. Relief at the pump and time relief for the family.

With that said, Joshua will be leaving the nest in a few months. he was the one that did the wiring for the water4Gas generators. Lynette is also working full time with the YMCA and i will be teaching through the summer in our Academic Associates Reading Center as well as coaching.

Gas is already on the rise in most of the United States and I am already getting inquiries about HHO generators. Just to let you know, we will not be making or supplying HHO units any time soon. so i would like to make recommendations on the few companies I believe produce quality hydrogen electrolyzers and are able to back up their products with good customer service.

The new Dry Cell is an all stainless steel unit that is one of the best electrolyzer values available. FuelSaver-MPG has offered the best products and the best service for EFIE devices.

More manufacturers will be added to the HHO Generator Store page in the weeks to come. Be sure to plan ahead and get your vehicles fuel efficient because higher gas prices are just around the corner.
