Electronic Power Generator for COMVAL Province

12/27/2012 5:28 PM

Good Day to all!

I will ask also if you have idea how to build a electronic power generator using a 12 volts battery of UPS.That can automatically recharge during cycle.I will plan to put this project in COMVAL province to my relatives.They are victims of typhoon PABLO.Because they have no electricity in more than two years from now.

Thanks in Advance to all who will help my project...

Well most UPS units will work as stand alone power sources for a little while until there battery goes dead. Not much you can do about that other than to re wire them to use a much larger external battery system but then you still have the issue of at some point that larger battery set goes dead and you need an external source of power to recharge it.

If you are looking to use the output UPS unit to recharge its own battery its getting its own power from you will never find a design that works. That's over unity and as of yet no applied laws of physics support it!

If you have plenty of Sunshine, use solar power to charge your UPS batteries.

One of the most useful places for you to look for solutions is 'instructables.com', if they have wind, look up savonius turbine on instructables, the one built from 4 pieces of stove pipe and 3 circles of plywood with purchased neo magnets and wire produces close to 1kw @ 20 mph. Cost about $300 U.S dollars. If cost is a problem, wire can be salvaged from discarded microwave power transformers (primary coil) and magnets can be salvaged from the magnetron and although they are not as strong, will still net a couple hundred watts. This can be used for battery charging. This a 'free' source of information you can view for free and if you want to download PDF files of information, you should pay the membership fee. We should all support this site.

I understand that some areas will have up to 2 years before their power is restored because of Typhoon Bopha/Pablo.

I noticed that my UPS software allows a modifiable amount of time of operation after a power failure. Even though one tells me I have a half hour of capacity it will shut my system down after a maximum programmed 8 minutes. Soooo.. if I was to connect a bank of truck batteries to it the programming would have to be defeated to provide continous operation. Sooo if you just get a standard continous duty battery powered invertor and a bank of batteries that can be charged by a car or generator or solar panels or a gang of boys with hand cranked generators you would be in happy time.
