Wow wow and wow. You sir have some mad skills. Manufacturing your own parts and knowing your stuff on the electrical wiring and your diodes and actuators . Great show.
This is so cool! I wish I had the drive to complete projects like this myself. The ingenuity is amazing!! If you could either do without the music or lower the volume that would be the only negative. Thanks for sharing.
That probably contributed to the issue, but I had the same proble drilling in the center of the plate away from the heat affected area. I ruined a 3/8" drill bit with just 2 holes.
I know that Toyotas are considered bulletproof, but you had to make it literal with that armor plate. Great series. Oh, almost forgot to ask, what was the reason the Previa was turned into a yard car? I'm guessing frame rust.
Thanks! It’s actually a Sienna, and it’s just kinda worn out after a quarter million miles. If it was a Previa I’d probably be restoring it, those are neat!
If you add a wood-gas generator to run the engine off of that minivan could be it's own fuel supply, drive over to a tree to cut down, cut it up with an electric chainsaw and use said tree to make wood-gas to run the van's engine off of. I don't know if that's new enough to have drive by wire throttle (I'd guess not based on you grabbing the throttle cable), but if it is you may be able to control RPM through the CAN bus on the vehicle. I used to do made to order firmware mods on remote machine control products for the maker of said products and the receivers for the remotes in their mobile line primarily interfaced with the CAN bus (usually on trucks) and many such vehicles had provision in their CAN system for controlling RPM for PTO applications.
Oh that's interesting! I haven't found any docs on the cruise control yet, the actuator has only 4 wires in is it could be CAN bus controlled. I was planning to lift a wheel, set the cruise for 30 MPH and then put a scope on the actuator to see what inputs it was getting.
It's a cool project but taking out that ac compressor is really sad, you could've turned that into an onboard air compressor wich is allways handy in a "mobile workshop". If u ever do something like that just drill out the intake and output ports, block the internal oil port, fill up the thing up with high temp grease, put it back together and hook up a pressure regulator to the mag-clutch to stop it from blowing up.
We call these "generators" but they it's really an alternator and to get 60Hz out of it it has to spin at 3600, it makes one complete cycle with each revolution.
@@David_Mash Ah! I get you now. Yeah, sounds like generators for diesel applications are 4-pole verses 2-pole so they produce two complete wave-forms per revolution vs. one.
The original generator engine was much smaller, thus it consumed much less gasoline, but you used a car engine that will consumed much more gasoline, so the project is not worth the times and effort. Why don’t you build wind turbine generator with that generator motor? It’s green and free energy.

Thank you!
I'm a car mechanic...Nice addition with the coolant bleeder valve idea!

Great idea
Remind me when I be in the military We have something similar
I believe it's about the 5 kW
You Sir are extremly talented. I wish someday i know 10% of what you know, you earned yourself a subscriber.
Greetings from Germany✌️
Thank you for the kind words!
Ive seen other channels that use a plasma cutter say that the heat from cutting hardens the edge.... such is life! lol great project!
That probably contributed to the issue, but I had the same proble drilling in the center of the plate away from the heat affected area. I ruined a 3/8" drill bit with just 2 holes.
The build is awesome. And so is the music... it got in my head and I can't take it out now... 😅
That's my friend Nathaniel Johnstone! nathanieljohnstone.com/music.html
The music is annoying.🤨
I'm loving the music 😊
that is Nice!!! engine is a little overkill but this Idea is great. Thanks for share. curiosa to see speed governor
Thanks for the kind words!
Sweet project! Keep Watch on your coolant temperature
Thanks!
Air conditioner clutch pulleys are good for at least 20 HP in standard sized vehicles. I think that would make a good future improvement.
Noted! Thanks!

Does isnit capable of producing the full 5kw without bogging down the motor or slipping the belt?
Yes, easily. Original engine was only 10hp.

Yeah, I was sad about that too, but I do have a spare 120 VAC compressor that I'll just run off of the generator.
This is the neighbor you want when the world goes to shit!!!😁
Ha! That's not the first time I've heard that, just bring whiskey and ammunition when you show up! ;-)
@JakevonSlatt Don't drink but have plenty of ammo to start a small war lol 😆
If you're running at 1200rpm and the coil wants 3600, it seems this could be resolved with wiring
We call these "generators" but they it's really an alternator and to get 60Hz out of it it has to spin at 3600, it makes one complete cycle with each revolution.
@@JakevonSlatt 3600rpm is a USA standard due to turbine efficiency. Diesel generators run at 1800. It's all based on wiring.
@@David_Mash Ah! I get you now. Yeah, sounds like generators for diesel applications are 4-pole verses 2-pole so they produce two complete wave-forms per revolution vs. one.
@@JakevonSlatt yeah the history/rabbit hole/deep dive on why we have 50/60hz is quite interesting
Yeah, thats not the plate you were looking for.
It ate my best 3/8" drill bit!
Great!
What's next, a crane?
It's already got a 2-ton engine hoist on the receiver hitch!
Perhaps the plate is cold rolled
Quiet possible! It work hardens too, a drill will cut most of the way through but then dull and seize just before it penetrates.
👍👍😎👍👍

I don’t think the town would let me erect the tower needed for a 5.5 kilowatt wind turbine!
This series is fairly interesting but the music is dreadful.
Funny... I thought it was perfect for the wild conglomeration happening before my eyes! Lol
