Multi-Function Motors
I want to buy
a chainsaw, and also a small petrol-powered 240 Volt AC portable
generator.
[I also want
to buy a motorcycle, or 50!]
But, in times
of reducing our abuse of resources, and consumption, thus the
equipment we have, I, me, the 'weird one' of the Australian forests
asks,
- why doesn't
a wise manufacturer produce a multifunction motor unit, that either
has more than one function built-in, or is capable of having
'attachments' to increase it's usefulness, while at-once reducing the
consumer's need to have more than one of, say, in this example, the
basic central power system of a small petrol-fueled engine?
Sure, a
chainsaw needs to be as light weight as possible, so couldn't have an
inbuilt 240 volt inverter and such. And a generator couldn't have a
chainsaw hanging off it's end.
But a bench
saw could be designed over it!
However,
there's no reason why a central engine unit cannot be designed and
built to be switched, physically, from chainsaw to generator.
Farmers could
benefit or at least like the idea, for their back-paddock work, etc.
And, other
mechanical equipment such as liquid pumps, battery rechargers, even,
well..., there are many possibilities possible to design into such an
idea.
Even a
motorbike! Hoho.....
On a motorbike
with other functions, I designed, a few years ago, merely
superficially, a motorbike that also had a 12 volt DC and 240 Volt AC
generator/inverter inbuilt.
In mind only,
I added other assets like an attachment for a fencepost hole digger,
and other bits running off the rear wheel, when the bike's on it's on
it's centre-stand.
GOD DAMN? A
combine HARVESTER!!!
Aaaw? Too
far? OK.
But, back to
the basic idea, and the first concept, why don't manufacturers make
something that needs the same motor, but can be simply attached to or
with extra things, like a chainsaw or a generator, water pump,
lighting system, kettle, stove [?], barfridge, hahahaha, why NOT?
Campers and
Nomads would love to have a multi-functioning gizmo like this/these.
Damn sure I
would!
Of course, I
do know why they don't. It's basically because they just love
making things, and things to sell consumers to fill their garages and
sheds and back rooms , and eventually waste disposal facilities with.
So part of the
cRapitalist agenda is to have people consume as much stuff as
possible, because with each item, more profits. Simple, really, if
not fucking evil?
And, of
course, adding to the Eco-friendliness of such a multi-purpose
beauty, give it the ability to be re-tuned at the flick of a
carburetor switch, to run on metho, bio-fuels, vodka, water, and as
many varieties of high-enough octane fuels as possible.
And, make as
many parts as possible, out of recyclable and renewable materials –
like – HEMP.
And..., add
your own bright ideas HERE!:
Come to think
more about this, it is ludicrous that 4x4 and not even 4x4 vehicles
are not equipped with 240 Volt AC inverters and/or other gizmos as
well?
So many people
have essentially oversized car-motors sitting stationary for the
larger part of their lives in their garages, doing NOTHING, when with
an enlightened vehicle design/maker, they could be idling away
supplying perhaps relatively cheap power to the camp, or house.
Sure
'pollution factors' and fuel costs have to be considered. But even
as an optional extra for people who might have a practical need for
it, these types off extras should be made available in autos,
especially off-roaders and workhorses.
Some European
auto makers have long time had vehicles which automatically, I think,
switch down to using only two out off a motor's six cylinders when
they're cruising etc.
So, as I dream
about while sitting in back of the ute, diesel engine running on all
four cylinders, charging my laptop computer via the ciggy lighter or
the 240 Volt AC inverter I fitted, the ability for a vehicle's motor
to be switched down to run on less cylinders, when only minimal
'idle-power' is called for, should be a 'must-have' for [some]
vehicles today.
Maybe
significant savings to air and pocket are to be had for cruising on
less cylinders too?
Just a case of
keeping the geek, hi-tech psychopaths out of the design's drawing
rooms. These, like all mechanical equipment, have advantages by
staying relatively 'low-tech' in design.
I know a
diesel motor switched to idle on two cylinders would save me about
$40 a week!
But I'm
SHPESSHULL, aren't I mum?
Eliminating
the extra vibrations though, could be a rubbery problem.
