Comment on What inventors like Nikola Tesla have made generators that were repressed? by Kinley Smiley

You have to understand that while Tesla was a genius, he was also a loon. He claimed to be from Venus.

Modern Quantum Electro Dynamics is about as perfectly tested as a theory can get; it has been found accurate to one part in 10 to the 15th, and that was 30 years ago, and that was as close as they can measure.

I simply cannot believe his claims over the proven success of QED. Anyway, there are so many places that could investigate, if there were something to his claims, someone would be exploiting that; you think North Korea wouldn’t love to have free energy and be trying to make a Death Ray ?

Comment on Can name generators steal your identity with no other info but your name? by Simon R

No, not unless you're the only person in the world with that name. How would they know it was you as opposed to someone else with the same name?

Comment on What is the purpose of choke in portable home generators & motorbikes?What happens when choke is open & closed? by DrDontheTermiteGuy

An engine that is stone cold has different fuel needs. It is easier to start one in the fuel/air mix is changed so that there is a lot more fuel int he air (called a ‘rich’ mix) but once the engine gets going, this rich mix causes all sorts of problems such as backfiring, soot buildup and just wasting fuel. You’ll notice that a lot less power is produced when the choke is engaged ("out"). So once operating temperature is reached, the less-rich or ‘leaner’ fuel ration is restored by opening the choke valve.

In most old style carburettors, the choke is a simple butterfly valve (with cutouts) that holds back (‘chokes’) the normal flow of air. (it still lets through enough to pull the fuel up through the jet) There are simpler types (http://static.howstuffworks.com/mpeg/chainsaw0.mpg ) and more complex ways such as altering the main jet level. With direct injection, it is a simple matter of adjusting the fuel flow rather than the air flow.

When the choke is opened it decreases the air supply to the carburettor and thereby increasing the fuel supply to the engine. This helps overcome starting problem in engine. Once the choke is closed Fuel to air ratio is brought back to its original ratio.

the choke restricts the air intake to the engine increasing the fuel intake to ease starting

the choke is closed to start a engine this gives a rich mixture of fuel and air as the engine warms up the choke is opened to give a leaner mixture and the choke is off when running temperature is reached if it was still on the engine would cut out because too much fuel

Comment on Why is the software group not able to make key generators for avast internet security 5 or Norton 360 V4? by pixel-mom

because its not legal

Comment on what are different types of wind generators? by Who Cares?

Induction generators are used for stand alone systems, synchrounous generators could be used as well.

I’m not really sure what you mean by ‘different types’ of wind turbines, but I’ll give it my best shot. The only ones I personally know about (other than the huge ‘wind farm’ types) are the home make kind. To make these you need 4 main things.

Blades and Stand
Batteries
Power control circuit
Treadmill motor

These can be very effective. The motors can usually max out with an output of 2000W (when geared correctly, and with a strong wind), but would put out about 100-200W on an average day. A couple of motors I have are rated at 25A @ 110VDC @ 3500RPM. Hope this helps.
