generator

[Buzz-light-bulb]

Hi all

This might sound crazy but I want to make my own generator in my garage and power my own property, fed up of these electricity bills, any ideas where to start. Magnets ?? Coils windings ???? Sure it won't take much to generate 230v at 50hz

I could knock up a quick drawing for you this evening.

I'm more interested to see the result of someone making one who doesn't know how to make one Daz

It’s not impossible.

If I could butcher a few bits and pieces out of old gear I’ve scrapped in the past I recon I could cobble together a 2 or 4 pole salient generator. The more poles the lower the speed and less chance of it self destructing.

Anyone any good with infernal combustion engines?
