It turned out cheap and effective: how to make a generator yourself

I am currently working as a news website author at Daily News Hack. I mostly cover trending news and have been doing so for quite some time now. I have always had a keen interest in current affairs and the world around me, which is what led me to my current job. I firmly believe that the best way to learn about something is by doing it yourself and that is why I love my job so much. It allows me to be constantly learning about new things and then sharing that knowledge with others. I am also a big believer in the power of networking and building relationships. I think that LinkedIn is a great platform for connecting with like-minded people from all over the world.

The shelling of the energy infrastructure and the constant shutdown of the light prompted pensioner Nikolai Sheretun from the Zhytomyr region to make a generator on his own, because because of the hype, the prices for them also bite. The pensioner spent only 4,000 hryvnias from the family budget and one day for the development.

- Although I have a musical education and for a long time served as a village head, as far as I can remember, I was always busy with something in the garage. There have never been problems with spare parts, I bought a lot at a metal depot, where people handed over, in their opinion, trash. But in skillful hands, every thing can get a new life, - told Nikolai Sheretun. - Our family is one of millions sitting without electricity because of Putin and his army. If there are no problems with heating, because we have a stove, then the pumps do not supply water, and we still need to take care of the household. Buying a generator is not affordable for everyone, especially peasants. After all, even a modest one will cost more than 23 thousand hryvnias. Decided to design it myself. There are many videos on the network where craftsmen tell how to make it with their own hands.

- Tell us how your generator works and what it was made of.

- In fact, everything is very simple and almost everyone can also make a similar product. For the basis of my generator, I took a Soviet-era electric motor, once upon a time I found it in a collective farm workshop. It has a power of 2.2 kilowatts, gives up to 1000 revolutions. It requires less power to spin. Then he installed an engine on it so that it would drive the electric motor. Then I put a capacitor on the future product, for each of the three windings for excitation, 50 microfarads of capacitance in the system are needed. The winding itself is connected to the sprocket in the electric motor, so electricity is generated in this way. The generator itself is not too powerful, it gives up to kilowatts of energy. However, this is enough for the pumps to supply water, the circulation pump for heating, the TV, and there is light in the house. For an hour of generator operation, you need about 2.5-3 liters of gasoline, so we try to turn it on for several hours a day, especially when it comes to a barn.

- I know that you also made a mobile wood splitter, which you called Bayraktar, because chopping with an ax is both difficult and long.

— I had a working circuit, but I improved it and made my invention very powerful. He actually used the hydraulics of agricultural machinery. My Bayraktar works according to this scheme - the engine turns the oil pump, it creates a lot of pressure, after which it supplies it to the distributor. And hydraulically crushes wood. Here force is measured in tons! That is, the wood splitter will transfer any wood. You will not believe how convenient and fast it is, I cut a car of firewood in three hours. When it turned out, the woman was pleasantly shocked. I set up my Bayraktar for about a week, and the manual work itself took about two months. Now my plans are to make a mini power plant.

Earlier, FACTS told how in Vinnitsa, a resident of a high-rise building, Ivan Vereshchak, independently designed a hydroelectric power station. Now, in the event of a blackout, there will be enough for lighting and charging phones for all neighbors.
