Use of Car Engine as Power Source during Outage

Posted on by James Behunin

This power converter allows you to generate up to 300 watts of electricity off of your car engine. During power outages I have used this as a power source for lights, television, and most appliances on a short term basis. You don't want to use it for more than an hour or so, because it requires running the car engine. You need to run an extension cord from your garage to the location in the house where power is needed. You should also have the car running outside or at least leave the garage door open to avoid letting the fumes build up in the garage.

The inverter is also useful on long car trips or when camping.



















You can purchase this unit on line at any number of websites. Follow this link as just one example:


or here at Amazon.com:


The cost is ab out $65

    I simply love what you have said here but I think that you could do a bit more to let readers connect with your content better. You have got lots of content in your sites with very few images.
