Using the 400w bed plug as a home generator?

I use it sometimes to charge my phone/iPad (e.g., on the beach). It’s faster than the cigarette lighters plug.

 

Agreed

 

I like to inflate things with my inverter outlet

 

Like what tho ? You dirty birdy

I'd say what I am thinking... but then this thread will get locked up tighter than a rusty bolt

 

Just the necessities

 

It was an extremely rare occurrence that I lost power. Only once in 25 years the way the power is routed to my street. There used to be a small hospital two blocks behind my street and they tried to make sure they wouldn't ever lose power. It also helps that my neighbor across the street from me was a boss in the power company.

 

The truck engine would make a nice generator unit it has to turn the generator at 3600 rpm but it would be capable of several dozen KWs. The problem is not the truck it's the inverter in order to make lot of power you need big batteries and really heavy cables and an inverter capable of making that kind of current.

 

I find it convenient sometimes. I've run this:

Dude where can I buy and how much


I’m gonna inflate that mother effer in my gfs bedroom

 

400 watts when idling. 100 when moving.

 

There's a bit of sticker shock with that float. Just google 10' tall inflatable flamingo. And make sure you have an air compressor with a good duty cycle

 

All you’d need then is a bottle of fireball, her best girlfriend from college and some baby oil

 

Yay I'm not a moron afterall!

 

Dis is what inverters are
For!

 

Is that the dirty birdy I referenced earlier?
Cuz I like

 

@KVTaco if you're in the market for a home generator, don't rule out the welder gensets. Can pick those up for a reasonable price sometimes

 

I get the millers for cost! Neeener neeener!
