Is it possible to convert fuel energy consumption to electricity consumption?
Household electricity generators use liquid fuel to run the engine and generate electricity.
Given a scenario, If a generator uses 2 litre of diesel per hour, is it possible to find out if that same generator was to run on electricity, how much watt the same generator would have used per hour.
for example take this HONDA GX390 engine.
PS: I have no idea on engineering side, just want to find out if it is possible, if yes, how to calculate.
Duh, you don't use electricity to generate electricity. Find somebody who understands what you want to do and follow his advice.
Yes, if you know the efficiency of the unit, or ratio of energy out over energy in, and the energy content of the fuel, then you can calculate the equivalent of the input of electrical energy to an equivalent electric motor driving the same system.
- Why are electricity generators so expensive? Are generators really worth $1500? I'm looking around for a semi decent generator and Hondas/Yamahas are thousands of dollars. Even cheap chinese made ones run about $400 or more. Why are they so expensive? I know the engines are pretty simple, is it the motor that creates electricity that's expensive?
- Trying to adjust caster: How to convert inches to degrees? Caster on the driver side is nearly 4 degrees more than the passenger side which is in spec at 2.2. The driver side is at 5.9 positive caster and right now I'm trying to figure out the amount of washers I need to help with the issue. I looked around online and found caster spacers for honda vehicles that come in 1/8 and 1/16. How would I convert inches to degrees?
