Suitcase Generator

Standby generators produce enough AC current to power most appliances in our homes just as what your electric utility firm produces with the AC outlets on your walls. But their power is limited as they are generally not meant to take over your power utility firm in the event of an outage. Typical residential power [...]

Standby and Portable Power Generators for Home and Business

In 1960, the entire American Northeast experienced a massive blackout caused by the tripping of a single faulty circuit breaker in one substation. In 1977, New Yorkers stared across the river at the bright lights of New jersey after four lightning strikes caused the entire grid supplying the Big Apple to shut down. In 2003, [...]

Silent Generators with Noise Reduction and Barrier Walls

Anyone who’s seen a genset in action will know how loud they can be. The biggest and most powerful can produce sound louder than 100 decibels, almost as loud as a jet engine at point-blank range and more than enough to cause deafness. Generators and Noise Pollution Since electrical generators are meant to be active [...]

Gas Generators Powered by Natural Gas or Propane

The popularity of electric generators for power use means that several types have been developed. In conventional power plants used for generating electricity, steam is used to power the turbines. This steam is raised using different sources of heat. One common way is through the burning of coal, which is a very cheap and plentiful [...]

Industrial Power Generators Using Diesel, Gas and Bunker Fuel

Today’s manufacturing plants, marvels of modern engineering and efficiency, require huge amounts of electrical power to keep them going. And because many of them, especially in developed countries, use computers and robots to stay efficient and competitive, the need for a safe, constant power supply is now a critical need. A few hours of downtime [...]

Used Diesel and Gas Generators for Backup Electric Power

electric generator sets can be very useful things to have. If you own or run a business, one might just be the thing you need to ensure the continued smooth operation of your business even during blackouts. This is no idle threat as many business owners have realized repeatedly throughout modern history. The winter storms [...]

Portable, Industrial and Commercial Diesel Generators

A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine which differs from a gasoline engine in its choice of fuel and the way it works. Whereas a gasoline engine relies on a spark plug to ignite the fuel-air mixture in its combustion chamber, a diesel engine relies on high compression for the same effect. Diesel engines [...]

Portable Generators with Diesel, Gasoline, Natural Gas and Propane Power

Whenever miners of old needed light, they found ways of getting it. The source could be a tallow candle, a gas lamp or a helmet-mounted carbide lamp. But there were drawbacks to using these. If there were flammable pockets of gas in the mines, using these could result in an explosion and injury or death. [...]

Combustion Generators Powered by Gasoline and Petrol

Do you own a standby generator set? If so, it is probably a petrol generator. Gasoline-powered generators are the most familiar types of generators to most consumers. They are made up of two main parts, a generator head to provide the electrical power and a gasoline engine to move the generator. The internal combustion engine [...]

Electric Power Generator for Blackout Prevention

An electric generator is a machine for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The mechanical energy can come from a variety of sources. There are hand-cranked generators, generators powered by falling water, wind generators, thermoelectric generators, photovoltaic generators, magnetohydrodynamic generators which extract energy directly from hot gases, and generators coupled to various types of internal [...]
