I understand that it has to be fine tuned. I mean is first you should use a real power meter get an average from that and make any adjustments

It is meant only to give an approximation as to power depending upon the type of workout and length of time it will reflect different power usage A good cheap estimate but not a replacement for the power meter

If available use a powermeter to get a baseline since it is the most vakide and reliable but it's not required

It bases power on heart rate with an algorithm so calibrating it won't make it more accurate Do google searches for more info about how it figured out power what it assumes about the workout they estimate that it is within 15% of a real power meter but it can be +/-

Calibration not required nor possible. Check internet reviews by sites you respect to under its limitations and pluses.

That is a huge alternator! I would suggest going much larger than that. Usually it is suggested to go at least 150% of rated output

We recommend calling your local electric company as rates vary across the country. Note that the amount of electricity used by the unit depends on the setting selected (wattage) and how often it is running.

I believe it can be adjusted to any realistic level. Ours is set at 60% and the air at 80 degrees during the Florida summer when the house isn't occupied. By looking at the monthly power bills it appears to be doing the job.

As JZ said; the voltage shouldn't vary once it's set but I recommend checking it under load just to be sure.

Use a multi meter to measure the voltage at the output terminal while you are adjusting the voltage. The input voltage just need to in the range of the specifications.

Having connect both a diawa power meter through to a dummy load I can indeed verify it's a stable. 60W over a range of frequencies. Quite different from performing a MARS mod on a typical Ham radio and see power fluctuating all over it's ranges.9Z4CY / KZ4CY

There is a tolerance in its output. I do not remember what it is but the instructions that came with the unit and its maker can give you the specifics.

I find the 15 to 30 watt irons are not enough in some cases so I chose big variable wattage to complete the mission.I use 200 to 300 watts and heat sink the sensitive parts.It's all trial and error with materials???

To: Terry PikeWhen I built mine I did all the lighting and the Bussard motors myself. I just got a couple of HO train electric motors (which were about $12.00 each) and wired them to a small voltage regulator. I run the motors on about 4 to 4.5 volts to get the correct speed. The motors themselves are about 2 inches long and about 3/4 of an inch in diameter, so they fit nicely into the front of the nacelles. I left the whole Bussard assembly loose so that I can take it out and make repairs if necessary. The way the ring assembly snaps into place with the three supports on the bottom of the nacelle makes this easy to do.Hope this is helpful to you.

The company recommends a 2.0cubed ft, also recommended to be tuned for 36hz. For the Amp it really depends. I went with the companys Amp the PA BAMF-4000 watt series (which doesn't actually putout that high of a number). But it still puts out a high watt. Literally, this system eats at power so quick, at first time I installed it I killed my alternator and battery less than 10mins and the car was running. This system has serious power if your car can provide it. I'm running at a safe 1600watts for my cars sake.

Try changing up the gearing also run it through a capacitor it won't put so much stress on the generator and you can change milliamps

Yes, it is pretty easy to do, though as David and Hewa say, always check it on a known outlet first to make sure it is adjusted properly.

It is adjustable but you will need a voltmeter to adjust it to the needed voltage.

It just depends how heavy is your usage. You may want to contact the Mfgr. for more specifications.

Radio Shack should be able to fix you up...the manual should give power specs so they can get you the right amperage and so on

If you can get it to work properly. I would go to your local golf shop and ask to hit some clubs and check your speed like that. Most all golf shops will help you out. That is what I do, because you can not trust the medicus power meter.
