Is there any small (about a car engine sized) electric generator that is capable for me to use somet

I want to use an iron, a pc, several handphone chargers, laptop adaptors, a water heater, and some lights. is there any capable power generator?

Is there any small (about a car engine sized) electric generator that is capable for me to use something high?myspace bulletins

Judging from the loads listed, if you are careful with loading on the generator you could get by easily with a 5kW generator.

If you are serious about doing this properly and safely, install a proper transfer panel. You may be able to add a few extra circuits and connection could be as easy as throwing a switch.

Read through my home generator page for ideas.

You have to add up the wattages. Forget the chargers; add a couple hundred watts for the other small stuff, add the wattages of the lights (use CF to save), add 1500 for the iron and (?) maybe 3000 for the hw heater. The last one is the killer. 5 kW might do it, or not. 5 kW is a reasonable home unit, might meet your criterion. 7.5 or 10 kW are also available, but now you're into a fairly large and expensive range.
This is what you need.

Option one.

If you are going to use every thing atonce then you need to read the sticker on the product and add all the wattage.

Then buy some thing that is about 20% more, buy what you need, if you need a refregerator to add to the line then plan on it also.

Generators come in all sizes, so the choice is yours.

Option two.

Buy a generator for biggest applience plus all the lighting and 20%, but plug in the applience as needed one at a time.

You will find that major items are only two, Iron that you use less then a hour a day and water heater depends, may stay on all the time and/or come on, on demand, if it has a hot water storage tank on it.

You need to shop around for the kind and type of generator, if you are going to hook it up to the present lines then you will need compatible automatic switching to isolate it and shut the generator down, or make it come on on demand, as needed, may need other protective equipment to prevent damage to the wiering and the house or apartment.
The water heater requires 4000 to 6000 watts at 240 volts depending on recovery time, the iron 1500, and every thing else about 1500 for a total of 7000 or 9000 watts. The Honda EB11000 would be adequate if some what large (400lbs).

Consider using a propane water heater. Then a 3000watt generator would be OK. - Honda EU3000 at 150bs.
