Want to make energy please.

Gentlemen

I want to make an engine/engines to charge a 12/24 volt electrical system that could run 8 hours a day.

 My fuel/energy resources are endless wood, solar and wind.

I have adequate Turning, milling and shaping capabilities and a healthy knowledge on the use of them.

I really want to use existing parts from old discarded equipment re-cycle you could say.

My weaknesses   are in the electrical and computer side of the equipment to where I would turn to the board for help anyway
.
What do you suggest and why.

I would just buy a Lister single cylinder Diesel and save yourself a lot of trouble. Why re-invent the wheel ?

You can run it from gas,  wood gas,  Diesel,  Bio Diesel etc.

I already have alternative energy power generation available in the form of a two cylinder diesel 8KW generator and it’s not my main reason for doing this.

I need a long term project to work on that will challenge me where I can learn new things. I am really interested in making machines that have a practical use. I have 10 acres and the area I live in is prone to power failures, using my own energy that I have produced intrigues me.

I want to get into electronics more and this would be a great opportunity.

John Hill:
How about a horizontal axis wind turbine?

DavidA:
Maybe a Savonious Rotor.

These operate at much lower speeds and start easily in a breeze.

You could make one out of a fifty gallon drum cut in half length-ways.

Dave.
