WinPython is a ortale ython toolkit that also allows you to add ackages to it while keeing it ortale. It can run either from a USB key or from a directory on the hard drive ut without actual installation, (coying is not quite the same as installation).Then you have a wide range of ython ased log generators, there is a list of some of them here, ut ersonally I would take a look at ABlog.As a test I downloaded the 64 it version of winython 3.4.3.5 and installed it to my hard drive the install took u 1.4 GB without ABlog and installing took seconds and didn't make a noticeale difference to the size as most of the deendencies were already met. N.B. For the most ortaility I would suggest using the 32 it version rather than the 64 it.ABlog is a Shinx extension that converts any documentation or ersonal wesite roject into a full-fledged log with:I did hit a coule of hickus following the tutorial due to non-ascii characters on line 22 of the generated conf.y ut since that was a comment deleting it solved the issue.My First Blog age with ABlog:Of course you will now have a full ortale version of ython & iPython to lay with and a suite of scientific tools, grahing, etc. to lay with in them! Related QuestionsThoughts on furnace generator transfer switch installYou said inverter generator , these are usually much etter than the tye I use, with the old fashion alternator and voltage control. I ower my TVs and microwave refrigerator, furnace and well um with mine and have done this for over 20 years without knowingly killing anything.I have een on generator ower u to 2 weeks and loose ower for at least a day every year usually several. The imortant art is not overloading your generator , I usually am well elow the generators rating and maye close to 12 of its eak rating. The reason this makes a difference is ecause when generators are over loaded they start surging this causes the frequency to ounce and the voltage to sike then droo. With a roer size for the load the generator will only vary slightly.

Instead it will waste some in the process of transforming the voltage, so you get even less power out of it.You need a bigger generator for this task.The problem you are facing is the conservation of energy. And energy is power over time. So if you have a power supply with 200 W, it will give you 200 J per second of energy.If you have a device using 700 W, it will need 700 J every second. No transformer in the world is able to give you 700 J of energy every second when it is supplied only with 200 J per second.You could do an interleaved mode, so you could store energy for 4 seconds, then you have 800 J, then you can power your device for one second. That is the was those ultra high power lasers work - they would need more power than the grid is able to supply, so they are driven pulsed so there is time to charge.In your case that is not possible.As for your comment, please do not mix up the units. What is shown in that video is a step up from 3 V to 500 V. Only the voltage is increased. The product of voltage and current is the same (well minus losses).So if that guy takes 500 W from the 500 V (1 A), he needs to have 3 V and 166 A (500 W) at the input.There is no way around energy conservation.------Why are generators (home generators, portable generators, worksite generators, etc.) typically louder than even something like a tractor trailer, car engine, etc.?Let us take diesel engine of generator as example. Comparing with car engine.Firstly, their working mode is different, their structure is different, so that their noise is different.Different ignition modes.Compression ratio is different.Increasing power is different.Piston stroke difference. Because of the high compression ratio of diesel engine, the larger output power of single cycle, the longer piston stroke and the lower speed, the vibration and noise of the engine are much greater than that of the gasoline engine. The single cycle power of gasoline engine is relatively small and the torque is small, but the high speed increases its total power, so it can achieve greater power in less vibration and noise.With the continuous development of science and technology, diesel engines have begun to develop towards small size and high power. In European and American countries, diesel cars have been very popular, and turbocharging technology has been used in small displacement diesel engines, such as Peugeot 206/307, which we are familiar with, all have diesel versions. But despite the great progress we have seen in diesel engine oil, as a family car, its noise and vibration are acceptable. But compared with gasoline engine, vibration and noise are obviously different.Simply speaking, because the rocker arm of the diesel engine is longer, the flywheel is bigger and the vibration of running is bigger. So its noise is bigger. Why are generators (home generators, portable generators, worksite generators, etc.) typically louder than even something like a tractor trailer, car engine, etc.?------Why aren't Home portable gasoline generator sets as quiet and efficient as vehicle engines?First off you have the engine. The engine in a portable generator *totally* lacks the sophistication and computer control of the prime mover in your car. If generators came equipped with engines of the same level of sophistication of even the most basic car no one could afford to buy them. Most generators are powered with engines of the same level of sophistication as your lawnmower. Secondly, protable generators are first and foremost u2026portable. They have to be easily handled and easily stored which means there are size/weight constraints. You start adding even the most basic sophistication like water cooling the engine (this would help maintain the engine at a generally lower operating temperature whereby you may be able to eek more power out of it and it would also help to quiet it) and all of a sudden your portable generator isnu2019t so much anymore. Portable generators are used as a standby power source of limited capability u2026run the fridge and power some lights is about it. And as such they are generally not used on a day in and day out basis. If they are, then you have to figure the cost of running your portable generator versus actually having power tapped into whatever youu2019ve got going u2026if thatu2019s even possible so complaining about your generator is kinda moot; you want electricity this is what you got. And Honda generators are quiet. I think a bird farts louder than most Honda generators. Some of the less expensive generators are definitely noisier but then you pay your money and take your choice.Why aren't Home portable gasoline generator sets as quiet and efficient as vehicle engines?.------What are some common applications for a synchronous generator?The electric current produced by a Synchronous Generator has a waveform that is "synchronized" with the rotational speed of the generator. Therefore, the frequency of the alternating current (AC) changes with the speed of the prime mover which could be anything that turns the generatoru2014Internal Combustion Engine, Turbine in a hydro plant, steam turbine in a coal or nuclear plant.Two frequencies are most commonly used. In North America it is 60 hertz while Europe uses 50 hertz. Common applications:Electric Utility Generators u2014 Speed is easily controlled and therefore the frequency.Backup or Standby Generatorsu2014Because modern standby generators mimic the power produced by the electric utility, they supply electric power during an outage to homes, businesses, Industry, and institutions.Portable Generatorsu2014The most common type of portable generator produces current similar to that from the utility. The quality of the current varies from poor to excellent depending on the intended use. Portable generators are powered by internal combustion engines designed to run on gaseous fuel such as propane or gasoline, or on diesel.Automotive Alternatoru2014In the past, a simple DC generator was used to charge the battery and operate the vehicle. The silicon diode rectifier made the application of a three-phase synchronous alternator practical.Wind Turbinesu2014Some home applications utilize a multi-phase synchronous generator to produce AC current which is rectified to DC to charge batteries. The DC current is usually inverted to 60 or 50 (North America or Europe) hertz AC for use in the home. What are some common applications for a synchronous generator?------Iu2019m thinking about making an HHO generator. I want to put the oxygen-hydrogen gas into a portable butane cylinder. How would I go about compressing the gas that comes out of the HHO generator and filling the cylinder?Ask yourself if the portable, and likely disposable cylinder is rated to contain Oxyhydrogen.If you don't know how to look this up, you honestly do not know enough about filling and maintaining pressure cylinders to do this safely. (Which is irrelevant in this case. The answer is NO!)Hydrogen is the lightest gas, and it migrates through the walls of most tanks at a fairly rapid pace even if they are well maintained. Hydrogen at high pressures infiltrates the walls of tank materials and causes processes like Hydrogen embrittlement and Hydrogen attack, both of which can cause failures of outwardly normal looking tanks with little warning. Oxyhydrogen is also highly corrosive and rapidly destroys tanks by rapidly pitting and rusting the tank interior. When used professionally it is typically generated as it is consumed, hence the portable generators you can find on the internet. These folks are worth investigating, both to be sure you won't break the law by unsafe filling or storage of compressed gas, and also so you will not explode yourself or others:The Standard for Safety Since 1913I cannot overstate the potential hazard of compressing an explosive mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen into a cylinder. This is not a job for Hank Hill at the propane store.Iu2019m thinking about making an HHO generator. I want to put the oxygen-hydrogen gas into a portable butane cylinder.
