I should like to extend a warm welcome to all of our recent new members. As a group we have now been running for 18 months and have over 700 members worldwide....
You need a bigger shed! A bit like me really! ... From: "Ken Boak" <ken.boak@...> To: <Lister_CSOG@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007...
Does anybody know of any 'off the shelf' devices that can reproduce the SOM functionality of starting when a load is present. All I need is something that...
I may have touched on this before, sorry if it's a repeat... I'm trying to plan my exhaust run from the 6/1, and need to answer a few questions. Does having...
Tim, List I managed to salvage an old automotive silencer with a large expansion vessel. With a slow speedengine like the Lister, you want to try and absorb...
... Is this a battery operation or an AC only one where the generator directly supplies all the power? If battery only, a simple comparator circuit will do the...
... Burying the end of the pipe in a "dry well" has been used in the past. The exhaust works through the gravel and sand losing acoustic energy quickly. David...
A snap comment, I would have thought that as the gasses have expanded you'd need a bigger diameter pipe not one smaller. Surely it would be the weak link in a...
Thanks for the welcome.I too have a 6/1 that will power our house and compress air to pump water.Am thinking of a way to waste the heat into a radiant floor...
David, Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I don't understand it, but that is just my slowness. I have thought a little more now though and realized that...
Glen, the resistance values from my control box are as follows DR total resistance 474 ohms, a tapping of 221ohms used, BR total resistance 78.3 ohms, a...
... I'm certainly no expert on this, but fwiw, I have a 5kw gen (going to be) attached to a 6/1 clone, and do not forsee any problems with it. That said, I...
Contaucreek, Tim, & List, A 6/1 will struggle to meet a 4kW load. There will be black smoke. The 6/1 Startomatic was rated at 2.5kW if I recall. Fitting an...
Is anyone selling back to the grid yet and if so could you enlighten me how it's done and how well it's worked out. This seems to me to be the ultimate project...
This is why 2-stroke motorcycles have that lovely screeeeching sound. After the 'can' the exhaust pipe is smaller in dia. than the down pipe from the engine....
Fascinating idea Paul. I am not familiar with the details of the SOM's circuits, but some of the early 20th century US-made auto-start "light plants" achieved...
Paul, Trevor, In the early days of electrical devices, putting 24V dc down the house wiring to detect when a device was turned on, was acceptable and this is...
how does increasing back pressure increase power? It's the opposite, you want big pipes and scavenging tricks to let the engine breathe better to create more...
That's a good rule of thumb for any engine. Steve Spence Director, Green-Trust http://www.green-trust.org http://www.green-trust.org/bookshop/ ... From: "WS...
The cost of grid tie equipment makes it less worthwhile, IMHO. I don't need fancy gadgets if I'm generating for my own use. The power I produce isn't "free"...
... The difference is that the hot gases have to be handled very very quickly as the exhaust valve is only open a short time. The pipe exhausting the expansion...
"The power I produce isn't 'free' either, it's usually more expensive to produce your own than to buy grid." Steve makes an an important point (IMO). If one's...
Hi I have found a old lister engine ( some distance away ) but the owner nothing about what it is, the tag is hard to read but the SERIAL #4003308LT1A932 may...
The non-lister auto start generators that I've seen use a latching relay. This is a relay that has the coil energized from the mains/line through one of the...
... In support of this position, back in my "hot rod" days, the rule was that back pressure for a straight pipe went up as the square of the exhaust velocity....
... Well, I have an engineering background, sometimes what i see as simple is not for others. ... If the generator is an alternator (AC generator), it is...
