We should just run it with my generator first just to see what it actually pulls mark the distro I made has voltage current and hz so u know if it's spazzing out or pulling too much and can just turn the amps back a bit I think it's the best plan so we know the real power consumption then can see what we need so got a bit of headroom.

mr diesel allegedly commited suicide when he found out his invention was going to be used in weapons [submarines i believe was the main idea dont quote me tho was at least a week ago i saw the bbc documentary lol] i may have misremembered or have been misinformed on this tho. i need to look into gennys more as it goes because altho everyone i know is using much more amps on a much smaller unit than i want to use id rather nmot follow them lol

Err, no. AC is AC. DC is DC 10V RMS (Root Mean Squared) AC, has a peak of 14.14V (10x (Square Root Of two)) Thicker wires for DC is a function, generally, of losses in cable. AC, especially HT (over 11KV) is used in grid level distribution, as once every 1/100 sec, the voltage is 0, so no loss! AC on thin cables, is cheaper than DC over fat cables, at grid level. |

Gas oil, (red diesel), the fuel of professionals.
Now who said that? Otto would turn in his watery grave if he knew that we were feeding his engines on fossil fuel, they were designed to run on peanut oil. Will gie me red till am ded |

@ freddymendez, petrol is Not cheaper than diesel.
I run my big compressor (4gallons/hour) on 'gas oil' (red diesel) and the last batch was 71p/litre from Imperial oils 5 weeks ago

Also, I don't want to get involved in this but if my meter says 10 volts(rms) ac, that's 14.14 volts dc.
There's a lot more power available with constant current hence the necessity for thicker wires. Shoot me down, go on. Will
