I dragged out Wayne's scope and a few meters to debunk a myth about
propane. Someone was trying to tell me the output was less on propane than on gasoline. I will admit it uses about 50% more by volume but for the same output. I used my convection oven for a load and that ended up being 5403 watts or around 98% of the rated output of the generator, a pretty good test. The wave form ended up being pretty "siney" although not perfect and did not change with the fuel http://gfretwell.com/propane%20project/Wave%20form.jpg The rest of the test looked the same too. http://gfretwell.com/propane%20project/On%20propane.jpg I have that scope ready to go any time you want to drive to Estero Wayne. For being 50 years old, it is still working pretty good. |
