    noob here.... can i use a generator to power my electric motor (woo woo)

    this isnt so correct for diesels.... the very first diesel engines had no ignition or alternator, just a hand crank they would run as long as the engine was turning.... the the parts were mechanically driven (fuel was drawn by vacuum) the start up and stop was on a valve linked to the fuel...

    noob here.... can i use a generator to power my electric motor (woo woo)

    just a random question thrown in..... would the generator make more power than the motor would use if the motor was powered by the mains? idea came from motor stating 30KW generator stating 48KW (60KVA) if thatll work, would the motor reduce its power usage if the generator was under less load...

    noob here.... can i use a generator to power my electric motor (woo woo)

    What is ground zero? cheating by using mains to start it up.... even if it runs by itself once the generator has the capacity?

    plus this system works its the same principle..... Electrical energy in -> kenetic energy out -> Kenetic Energy in-> electrical energy out ->repeat...

    noob here.... can i use a generator to power my electric motor (woo woo)

    what about using a battery pack between them? the motor will draw from the batteries not the generator.... but the generator will charge the batteries...... what if there was a way to have enough battery power for the motor to charge a second battery pack then switch over and do the same on the...

    this question has been thrown up because you CAN run a car WITHOUT a battery.... just using its alternator...... so.... HOW can it, if it needs to power itself?

    noob here.... can i use a generator to power my electric motor (woo woo)

    is there a motor that can supply enough 'torque' for the generator to turn and do its job at full capacity but use less Volts, Amps and watts than what the generator can supply? which so far the motor uses less (30KW 400VDC for motor - 45KW 400VAC from generator) what am i missing to not allow...

    i am aware that NO electrical system will be 100% perfect 100% of its life here is the electric motor http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40-HP-30Kw-1000-RPM-6-Pole-Foot-Mount-B3-200L-3-Phase-Electric-Motor-/321061904255 here is the generator...

    noob here.... can i use a generator to power my electric motor (woo woo)

    obviously it doesn't have to be an 'Electric' motor that powers the system..... could be air powered, water powered, could even include the flux capacitor.... get it to 88MPH and off it goes... but being serious, it needs to be compact with no fluctuation on power input to the generator...

    noob here.... can i use a generator to power my electric motor (woo woo)

    what im thinking of is a system that uses the smallest electric motor to power a generator of house capacities...... but the motor being powered by the same generator. I know you all will say HELL NO to this idea as your scared to put thought into it, but if there is a way.... even if we get...
