This might sound like a stupid question so apologies in advance.
So I had a random thought in my head.
So I was wondering if I was to use a single phase motor to spin a three phase generator to create three phase power, would you be able to create more power then the single phase motor is...

Been discussing this in another thread and I thought it would be interesting to see what others thought about this type of renewable energy for the UK.
Here is the thread, discussion welcome :)
New Offshore Renewable Energy Wind Farms announced in the UK
The government have today announced new wind farms in the UK at the lowest prices yet.
The farms will power around 7 million homes by 2025 and offers investors in the wind farms the lowest prices so far at £39.65 per megawatt per hour.
For comparison the new nuclear power station set to open...
Hey!
I am designing a solar PV tree able to generate 3400kWh annually / has a capacity of 4kW, as the trees will consist of multiple panels I will need to work out the best way to connect these panels to produce the current and voltage I need (the system will be grid tied). This system will be...
The government published their response to the RHI consultation today, and generally its good news for small systems

Hi guys, so a 180 watt motor is powerful enough to spin a 3000 watt generator, meaning that the generator makes enough power to power the motor, and yea I know if you include all the energy losses such as losses from heat, mechanical movement and even sound, then the generator will end up making...

Hi all, I'm looking into moving into the renewables market and wondered if anyone has any info/knowledge on the best form of renewables to go into. I know solar PV was big a few years ago, is it big now? I am self employed and would look to take someone on to go into the market.
Any advice...
Happy New year all. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this. We've been doing a bit of biomass and have been gearing up for a big year but with the current oil price we're not too sure what to expect.
The RHI still makes the transition worthwhile and plenty of customers want to get off...
Ground source heat pumps, solar panels, inverters, LEDs & more.
Question for you lads in this part of the industry- do you buy off a wholesaler, or do you go direct to the manufacture.
Brief background- I've just finished wiring a large factory and part of the deal was that I got one of the...
Hi Guys,
I'm rather confused over the R.H.I.
I was under the impression that the payments would be for 20 years but spread over 7.
Looking on the MCS calculator as an example it says a Solar Thermal system will generate 1732kW of deemed heat per year.
I was working out the R.H.I payments as...
I have just been contacted by a very unhappy customer of Richard Elliott MD of The Renewable Installers previously of The Solar Installers. It appears he is taking large deposits and either not installing or not paying the MCS sub contractor for the install (and therefore no MCS cert for the...

There is quite a bit to digest, but here are some headlines. If I have made any errors...
I have been looking at adding another renewable to the business. So far in stalling solar PV i am wondering what is the next best renewable as far as public interest goes etc?
What other sources do you install? Solar thermal? heat pumps? Would love to know any pro's and con's of any of these.
The link below takes you to the download for this document published over Christmas. Unfortunately it is too big to attach directly. This is good news for Solar PV.

This has finally been announced today.
Whilst not operating anywhere near this scale, I know there are contributors to the forum whom this will impact on.
