About Gas Generators

A gas generator is a device that burns to form large masses of comparatively cool gas, instead of increasing the temperature and specific impulse. The generator is similar to an automobile motor but operates in the reverse. It makes electricity when it's spinning instead of needing electricity to spin.

The gas generator's spinning speed is controlled by the engine. A generator has three connections: the field, the armature and ground connection. The smaller connection is the field terminal and the armature is the largest of the three connections.

The field connection is usually labeled F and the other connections are labeled A. The car manual can be checked for any differences. The three connections all go straight to the regulator, and there is a different output on the regulator for the battery.

Benefits of using gas generators:

• Good for vehicles already using gas for engines




• Gas is accessible




• They are efficient Disadvantages of using gas generators:




• Cost of gas is very expensive * Bad for the environment
