[NSRCA-discussion] Generator question

Fri May 11 18:18:50 AKDT 2012

You'll realize how creative my idea is when you have to wait 20 minutes for
your batteries to cool off before you can charge them later this summer.

I was hoping for more creative replies....  You know, like:

1) Official starter motor power station for sport flying glow fliers.
2) Power winch station for glider pilots
3) Chevy Volt charging station

Actually, a small fan to force cool batteries after a flight would at least
be a useful way to use the energy.

Why not try using a small soldering iron instead of the drill?

OK, I did not (yet) buy a Honda or Yamaha generator.  I picked up one from
the neighbors friend for $75, so I figured I would give it a whirl.  I did
test run it last year and it was relatively quite and not too heavy.  I
figured if I keep lifting it, I might get as buff and Anthony Abdullah.

Anyway, I hooked up the power supply/chargers to it and nothing.  I tried my
old Triton 2, nothing.  Maybe the output is not stable enough.  I read the
directions again and it says for low load (250W or less), try moving the
lever half way to the choke position.  Nothing.  I figured, what the hell,
hooked up a drill to it.  Power!  OK, so now I hook up the Triton 2 and the
drill and run the drill.  Power to the charger!  Seems without sufficient
load being called for, the generator does not put out.  I am not
electrically inclined, but is there something I can do to at least use the
generator until I find a good deal on a Honda?  Having me stand there with a
drill the whole time I am charging does not sound appealing.
