but now with sum fore sight it would be good to copy down sum numbers and then i can always compare at a later date. what would be best to test a load on the gen. i did blow a 21 watt light bulb. but that was mega rpm. evan the ac bench motor was struggling . so is a battery ok or better with a resister . one thing i did notice was a sweet and gentile hum as it made power. that was sweet music to my ears.
i am better off playing with engines at least i can understand how well its running and starting. but that's off topic . it might be best if i put results in a diary entry. cheers again .John. its a ill wind that dos no good[ Parent ]
You blow a light bulb due to over voltage not over current because it is the voltage across the light bulb that determines the current through it (assuming enough is available). So, I would just put two 25 or 40 watt bulbs in series.... I.E. with one wire into one and out, then into the other and out, with the second wire on a switch or something... just not in parallel.. this way you will halve the voltage across each bulb and should be OK...
