@user159472214520577: This $60 Autozone Alternator Powers A Whole Cabin Without A Generator. Why Aren't We Using Them?! #OffGridLiving #DIYProjects #SustainableEnergy #TechInnovation
so you just built a generator, what’s the point of all this work when I can buy a generator for $220 that has 110v and 220v still needs gas so it’s a generator, make a wind mill using the alternator

why use a engine, why not use a bench top grinder and replace the grind wheel with a pully. Build a closed loop, turn grinder on while plugged into electrical outlet when everything gets up to speed good just unplug grinder from outlet and plug it into the inverter thats connect to the batteries. So now thr grinder is powerd by the inverter while spinning the alternator to charge the batteries providing power to the inverter. My grandfather has grinder that has speed controls on them to that would be good for this.

The Hard Truth :
Average DIY AutoZone trip: “Ok sir we can get you an alternator but we NEED to know: is your cabin 2WD or 4WD? Does it have power windows? What color is it? SIR the computer WILL NOT let me sell you this alternator until I know EXACTLY how many doors your cabin has”

??? Your cost is way off, this requires that you run an engine. Your “off grid” requires a fuel source.

I tried to do this and the guy at the counter got confused when I told him no, to whether it's a two or four wheel drive.

im trying to figure out where he is buying all this stuff. A marine battery alone around here is well over 200 bucks. And any alternator is a bill plus.

Years ago I took a child’s wagon and mounted a car battery, alternator and weed eater engine. It was plenty for camp lighting

Any mechanic knows that remanufactured AutoZone alternator will only last 30 days. Maybe 31 days just so it's outside of warranty and you can't get a refund.
