I've been thinking about watermakers also. the Wolf watermakers seem to me like overkill for a small cruising boat -- costly, fairly large, have to run the...
Most likely nothing at all. The field in your (probable) case is not fed from the stator output, and it will continue to induce flux in the stator. The voltage...
It appears that placing a long URLs between brackets, like this, <http://www.likethis.com/yadayadayadayadayadayadayadayadayadayadayada>, keeps it from getting...

Brent, I am no whiz kid with electronics, but what would be wrong with inducing propeller drag through a friction device so that your wind generator could...

Hi Andy , the PL as seen in files says nothing to me , seeing it on a plan could ring a bell :-) What W Atkin plan are you talking about ? Can you redirect to...
... half the problem is that the batteries can get overcharged, the other half is that high winds can cause damage to most kinds of windmill, if not from being...
re all queries re voltage alarms , we have used for decades a great high quality US product for engine alarms , these have a simple gold metal contact...
What about just having the turbine hooked up to a gear with a ratio that would only allow max RPMS to not exceed 12 volts of power. Carl ... your ... way ... ...
We refer to low pressure RO as 'loose RO' The pores in all membranes are not of consistent size. So all RO membranes allow some salt molecules through. The...
That is counter-productive. Practical wind power is about getting as much energy as you can from as little wind as you can because that is what you have to...
Hi Jim, I have a trouble getting my brain around the problem. You said there is a possibility of the batteries over charging. Wouldn't the built in voltage...
Why not just use a 1 wire voltage regulator like they use of dirt bikes. The excess voltage is turned to heat, but a heat sink should cure that. They are...
The kids used to wreck the tail light doing wheelies and then the head light would blow. The old DT series Yamaha had that problem. Michael ... From: John...

There are quite a few small 'survival' RO watermakers on the market, some towed, some even hand-cranked. What makes me suspicious of these is that there is...
Hi Ben, It's the Liza Jane, located here: http://www.boat-links.com/Atkinco/Sail/LizaJane.html I think, as another poster noted, the symbol means "plate." By...
