My old BC Hydro build

I made this back when I was first getting off grid, due to the poor performance of the Canadian tire amorpherus solar panels.

Capacitor regulated induction motor as the generator (Hot tub pump conversion)

It made apx 450 watts, I used a 500w base board heater as a ballast, it ran my battery charger, a transformer based 12v charger, a fluorescent light. Would been much more had I managed the full run in 4 inch pvc

Sadly I lost so many pictures of the over all system when a memory card got broken to much regret
