Is It Safe to Put a Gasoline Generator in a Car?
2 Answers
It is safe to put a gasoline generator in a car, but it must be securely fastened to prevent shifting due to vibration. Below is an introduction to automotive generators: 1. Introduction: The automotive generator is the main power source of a car. Its function is to supply power to all electrical equipment (except the starter) and charge the battery when the engine is running normally. Based on the three-phase stator winding of a regular AC generator, the number of winding turns is increased, and terminals are added, along with an additional three-phase bridge rectifier. At low speeds, the output is from the original winding and the additional winding connected in series, while at higher speeds, only the original three-phase winding provides the output. 2. Classification: Automotive generators can be divided into DC generators and AC generators. Due to the many advantages of AC generators over DC generators, DC generators have been phased out.
I think placing a gasoline generator in a car is quite risky, mainly because the carbon monoxide it produces during operation is particularly frightening. I've read reports before about people who slept in their cars with the generator running and the windows open, only to end up hospitalized due to poisoning. Also, gasoline is highly volatile. In summer, when the temperature inside the car can reach 60-70 degrees Celsius, if there's a fuel leak or an electrical spark, it could easily set the entire car on fire. If you absolutely must bring one, always remember to keep the car doors open for ventilation when the generator is running, and never sleep with the windows closed and the air conditioning on! It's best not to have more than 10 liters of fuel, and using a metal container is safer than a plastic one. Additionally, secure it firmly in the trunk with straps—if you brake suddenly, this heavy metal object could fly forward and smash through the seats.
