Many factors play into whether or not a generator will work for you. Power output is the primary concern, but you must also consider the hardware you plan to use.
The Many Uses of Portable Power
In the Internet of things, our devices will stream everything to us no matter where we are. WE still have to power those devices, but the uses for a generator continue to expand. A 28-volt power supply is all that’s needed to power a small work site, or jump start a heavy duty vehicle. Even when there is no easy method of tapping into the power grid. Whether you’re in construction, or just a hobbyist, portable power units are quite handy to keep around. Here are some suggestions on how to use your portable power supply.
Generator Parties
Josh Homme of Queens of the Stoneage got his start playing generator parties in the middle of the desert when he was in high school. If you have a generator, and a rugged vehicle to carry it, you’re in for a whole new world of recreation. Generators can power everything you need, from band equipment to lighting. You bring the friends.
Working in the Field
Most equipment workmen take with them into the field is meant to run on batteries or minimal power. Still, a ground power unit can help jumpstart heavy equipment that has been sitting idle. Generators also power air compressors, which are useful with pneumatics.
Office Events & Parties
Just like a generator party, you can bring your power supply to a park or outdoor venue and host an office party. Generators typically store energy, or use a fuel source to output their power. That means that wherever you have fuel, you can have a party.
Emergency Jump-Starts
Several power supply units are used in the operation of industrial machinery and aircraft. This requires a heavy duty device, usually on a trolley. The unit is wheeled out to the craft, and the jump start is given similar to the way you might jump a car. The most powerful units can jumpstart just about any heavy machinery, but smaller units are valuable for single-engine craft.
Backup Home Electricity
In the event of an earthquake, a generator comes in handy. These natural disasters tend to take a heavy toll on the power grid in your local area, and can leave residents without power for days. Cold weather can have an equally devastating effect. A backup generator ensures you can run some of your devices, power cell phones and radios.
Small Package, Big Potential
Portable generators have become increasingly efficient over the years, with the output of some units measuring close to ten hours of uptime. Many are small enough to transport, if you have the proper equipment to do so. There are a lot of opportunities for fun and exciting projects when you consider portable power.
