If you have ever tried to exert yourself at elevation, you should have noticed that you become out of breath more quickly. It is because the oxygen density of the air you breathe decreases as you go higher in elevation. A similar thing happens to an engine. The higher the elevation, the less air and oxygen there is for fuel combustion, so the engine loses power. The solution is to turbocharge at elevation. A naturally aspirated engine, also known as a normally aspirated engine, is an internal combustion engine in which air intake depends solely on atmospheric pressure and does not have forced ..read more

If you have solar power, why do you still need a generator? Solar panels work best when you have direct sunlight shining on them. You also need enough of them and a battery storage system to save solar energy for when it is needed at other times of the day. Many depend on generators to help when there is not enough power or your needs change. The right generator can be an inexpensive solution to help keep everything working normally. Solar Panel Efficiency It takes direct sunshine on a solar panel surface to produce the maximum-rated power of a solar panel. Conditions such as an overcast sky ..read more
