Just what can I do with it. Its the typical military stand engine,
made by Teledyne or continental, but it has a lousy 28VDC generator on
it. Its fairly large approx 30 inches wide n 24 inches high and about
3 feet long. It runs like a champ...........but 28 VDC is not gonna do
me much good. It was obtained for free............so I sure was not
gonna turn it down........

Could you get an inverter that converts 24 volts to 220/110 VAC for
houshold use as a "back up" generator?

For the past few years, I've spent some alot of time repairing high
current 28 VDC generators for aircraft ground power units. If it is big
enough to seat their needs, maybe you could give it to someone at the local
airport, or even sell it if there is enough need there.

Use it to charge 24V batteries to feed a UPS inverter circuit?

Find someone with a 24V nominal golf cart, and give it to them.
Instant Hybrid Car. Or a field charger. Starting boost for
industrial engines in graders and Cat D-9's. Or as an emergency
source for someone living off-grid, and everything's on a 24V solar
cell and battery system.

If there is a way to reset the voltage regulator for 13.8V DC, now
you have a car battery charger or booster start unit. Perfect the
next time you get in the car to go to work, turn the key, and get
rurrr-rurrr-clickclickclick.... as it turns over once and quits.

You can make a voltage divider (Google), to drop the uneeded voltage.
If you use a 50 ohm potentiometer and some resistors in parallel, you
should be able to vary from 0 to 28 volts.

Use a voltmeter to measure the output voltage. You would want to use no
more than 13.5 VDC to charge or run a 12VDC battery or system.

:/

Build an experimental aircraft. Lot's of them being built and powered
with those engines.
OR find a large 24 volt motor and build a hybrid auto.

If that 4 cylinder engine is air colled and looks a lot like an aircraft
engine then
it is worth something as parts. Many of those engines had a special
crank case but
aircraft rated parts. Homebuilt arcraft can use the case, after
modifications and regular
aircraft can use the other parts if they have model numbers that
indicate "aircraft worthy".

Check aircraft engine rebuilders.

That would have to be a UPS that uses 28V batteries, quite
unusual. Most big UPSes have many batteries connected in series,
resulting in relatively high DC voltage.

It still sounds like a airplane engine driven generator. Many of them
had a special
crank case but aircraft rated other parts. If so, you could sell the
aircraft parts and buy a generater.

Bill K7NOM

Gonna scrap the generator and all its associated equipment, and
utilize the engine for a bandsaw wood mill........

Solves that problem........

Many UPS systems run on 24 volts, and 28 volts is the charging
voltage for a 24 volt system, give or take.

Motor is a continental. Unit was used on the command type APC's to
power a heap of radio equipment etc.
