That's really cool, but how have you connected it to your house to supply electricity?

Via a generator perhaps?

Oh right? I mean literally how has he connected it up, 2 wires just running into the fuse box or something?

There's a load of batteries in there too but basically, yes.

The outlay for 300 rechargeable PP9s was a killer

Pics.

I would've used PP3s for comic effect!

I have no idea what you're talking about, but it sounds explosive and therefore fun

Would it power a P4 Prescott machine, with an SLI configuration? :eek:

Cool, Red sounds like Ivor the Engine. (Does that make you Jones the steam?)

Out of interest, what were you doing with all those levers, etc?

Can we have some sort of "I'm pressed the 'more noise' button then...." guide?

I'm not usually into this sort of thing, but this is one project I have been keeping a little eye on.

am i wrong in saying that instead of using abtteries for overnight storage you could have just fed your surplus back into the grid, for which you are payed, and then drawn from the grid overnight, possibly even making a net profit?

If it were me, I'd charge the batteries. Once they were charged, then pump any surpluss into the grid. Everybody's a winner.

BTW, Minto. What's up with the lower two-thirds of your signature? :confused:

I'm not usually into this sort of thing, but this is one project I have been keeping a little eye on.

The rod i'm pushing by the flywheel is the "rack", it controls the amount of fuel being pumped to the injector, as the load increases that rack pumps more fuel to keep the speed constant.

The big srewy thing on the back of the head of the compression change valve, you start on high compression, then once it's up to temperature you screw the valve out, lowering the compression, to keep the engine under less load.

The piece that i used to shut the engine down in the decompression lever, it holds the exhaust valve open letting you crank the engine without having a hernia.
