Post Subject: So you wonder why they invited him to the meeting?Posted by rickmcinnis on: 10/2/2014

Makes no sense to me.
But to the real reason for my post -

Has anyone tried a home based generator?
Not one powered by an internal combustion engine. An electric motor would be far quieter!
If fact, best of all would be to get Romy's little guy on a treadmill attached to the generator's shaft!!! That guy never runs out of energy. (how does he do it?)
Not that I have looked into it, and accepting the fact it would NOT be the most efficient way to solve the problem but it seems a generator of a size sufficient to run your system is the best way to eliminate the problem. I am sure there would be waste in transducing.
Something like this, - http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_8795_8795?utm_source=Natural&utm_medium=Covario&utm_campaign=Generators - though I would never buy anything from these people (again) but you get the idea. Get an electrical motor to spin the shaft and I would think you would get as clean an AC current as you can get. Might require a few mods here and there, wire and connections type things. My first concern would be how quiet the motor would be - who cares what it throws into the powerline now?
It could not cost more than all of those conditioners which strike me as akin to trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Why not start with something reasonably good to begin with?
