Hello to all:
With all of this talk recently about buying electric vehicles, I thought I would see if I could improve upon a 27 year old design. I have a 1995 S10 2.2L I4. I wanted to play around with the idea of making the computer stop injecting fuel when I completely let off of the throttle...
This popular boost converter design. Is this an acceptable design to boost 48V up to 170V with 100 amp output? Or, is there a more accepted design for this type to DC step up?

Yes there would be more losses on the system due to the viscosity of the oil over the air. Plug the cooling fan at the front of the generator head would be pumping heavy oil through the system instead of air. That fan component would need to be made smaller in diameter as to not...

Thank you for your response. I've always known it as a generator head. The part that actually doing the power generator. So its the engine and generator minus the engine.
Could you explain a little more on pole slip?
Why would the generator head not be able to produce the extra power. If the breaker on the generator head were replaced with a higher amperage breaker, then there would not be anything preventing the head from making that extra power. Except for the fact that the head was not designed for this...

Yes this would be a good recommendation if your just a consumer trying to power your house. However, I am an engineer looking at the possibility of designing and building generators from the start this way. It could prove to be a huge cost advantage over the massive cost of larger...
If you buy a generator (gas powered etc) there is only a certain amount of watts that the generator can put out. This is because the engine only has a certain power rating. However, if one were to put a higher power engine on the generator head and remove the safety breaker for amperage, you...
Hello all:
I saw on Youtube where people are building make shift steam engines by putting a sprinkler solenoid on a two stroke engine or a compressor pump. However, they usually demonstrate the unit on compressed air. High temperature, high pressure steam would be rough on this low quality...
