WHAT IS THE CAUSE IF DIESEL GENERATOR NOT GIVING OUTPUT VOLTAGE

My lawnmower with a B&S 18.5 hp single cylinder Intek engine burns oil intermittently. What confuses me is that it will run without burning oil for 30-60 minutes and then suddenly start spewing THICK smoke. It will take the oil from full to add (8 ounces) in about 10 minutes. I don't think th

How does a tester work? I have done checking phase and myself as ground but Ii never understand why I'm not getting shocked.The circuit is closed now, is it the resistance in series or vacuum in bulb or a positive charge is developed from ground? Please help I'm a graduate EE.

#5 cylinder is not firing, put new plugs, replacef the coil and still exact the same what I do now.

Today we did substation maintenance. We checked insulation level of 15MVA TFR, ACB etc. (200M ohms,5 M ohms). Can you tell me what is 1000V meggar doing while checking. Is there a current flowing through insulation or ground to ground?

Can somebody tell me wht is the expected or approx. on state resistance of isolators, say the system is low voltage high current , in terms of tens of kA. atleast some indication for the order of resistance will also do.

Hi,

Hi all, I am working on an idea to heat water by making it pass through transparent tubes that are partly filled with small black beads. The beads are caught inside the tubes between two sieves, so they won't escape. The idea is that the beads absorb the solar radiation and transfer the heat to t

Is it true that the power factor and reactive factor may differ according to cables sizes?

Dear Sir,

In 1 1/4 Cr-1/2 Mo material J factor is not required, While in case of 2 1/4 Cr-1Mo material J factor is required to calculate. Can you explain me why J factor is required? What is impact on material with consideration of J factor? Why J Factor is not calculated for 1 1/4Cr-1/2 Mo m

Does anyone have creative ways of removing tramp iron from a coal conveyor, other than the traditional overhead magnet and under conveyor metal detector ?

Has there been anything new on the market ?

I know my question won't suite everyone.

I just want to ask, as being a Freshman what are the different projects that I should do because my branch is Mechanical engineering?

Every answer would be important for me.

GPS haters, gather 'round. Bob Holm of Saratoga Springs, New York, recently shared with us some photos of a unique Esso map that would seem like a complete waste of time in light of today's accepted practice of plugging in the address and listening to some disembodied voice tell you where to g
