I would prefer a generator which is ready to be hooked up to a stationary bike and is able to power small appliences. I do not want a generator that collects electricity in a battery.

How about this:\n\nhttp://www.windstreampower.com/humanpower/ppg.html\n\nGood luck!

Go for a skid mounted portable sound proof unit for flexible operation,so that your vehicles is not tie down with the generator,you also need to transport fuel,maintenance etc.The vehicles serve as a duel purpose vehicle.Weight,high cost depending on the model of diesel engine and alternator and your requirement

Good Idea..but probably expensive to hook up the equipment to some sort of generator....gotta keep the place looking clean.\n\ninresponse to answerman....(below)\nIt could be possible to keep a battery bank charged and use an inverter to run a small a/c.\nSort of like a solar setup or windmill.

well, figure that you have 24,000 Kilowatts at your disposal.  Running at 400 Volts.  Power=Current * Voltage.  This is a rough estimate! So roughly 60 amps MAX coming out.  I would refrain from anything that draws more than 40 amps.  Also I would check with the company that made the generator.  You don't want to get crossed into that kind of power.  Believe me.  I've taken hits from a fully charged 50KV capacitor.

if you want a huge turbine in your back yard, you could try using the wind for your energy

Get some power generators.

All rotating electrical machines can be classed as either "motor" or "generator". The definition is based on the direction of electrical power flow. A motor requires electrical power to provide rotation (and hence useful torque); a generator is driven by an outside torque source to produce electrical power.\n\nFor a machine to work, there has to be a magnetic field created to transfer the mechanical power to/from the stationary portion to the rotating portion.\n\nFor the case of an induction generator, an outside force rotates the shaft of the electrical machine. (You can assume here that the rotor has been magnetized through the use of an external capacitance circuit to provide discrete magnetic poles.) The rotation of the magnetic field, through mechanical means, induces a current to flow in the stator winding. Since the winding is a resistive path, there will also be a potential developed.\n\nThe output (volts and amps) will both be sine waves, operating at a frequency dependent on the rotational speed of the rotor and the number of poles.

try wind mill its an easiest and coolest

I don't know what country you are from so I will answer for the UK ... Maplin Electronics have cheap (no soldering) wind power kits.\n\nIf you are from another country find a hobby electronics store and ask them about kits like this - they are very common items.\n\nGood luck

you'll need an adapter...different types of electricity

The only motionless electromagnetic generator I know of is a solar panel.  While you can generate energy with coils you need a strong changing magnetic field.   The only way I know how to make one  without a preexisting current is spinning some kind of a magnet by wind, water or steam.\n\nNo something does not have to work to get a patent.  It is not the patent offices job to make sure something works.\nA patent is only good if you can successfully sue someone for infringing on it.\nI can patent an teleportation device right now if I want too but unless builds one almost exactly like the one I describe I am just wasting my time and money.

Alternative forms of energy are very much in the news. I think that would go over well. Start with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_electricity  and go from there.

I'd suggest a minimum 5kW generator.  I can't imagine the sewing machines being more than a few hundred watts operating power, and it is unlikely all five will start up at once for surge currents to add.  There should be plenty of headroom left over for the fans and lights.\n\nVisit my home generator page for other ideas.\nhttp://members.rennlist.org/warren/generator.html

Well it is pretty easy to build a simple motor. There are instructions at this website.

Sounds feasible, but you have some homework and research to do.\nHave a look at my web page for my wind generator project for other ideas and links to get the information you need.\nhttp://members.rennlist.org/warren/wind.html

Kilowatt\nCost depends on method of generation and location
