Suitcase Generator

Generaters

Electrical power is used for many of the appliances, products and tools in our lives.  When dealing with a blackout or other emergency situations a portable generater can provide both energy and comfort in your ordeal.  Finding the right generater can assist you not only during a blackout, but can also prevent you from experiencing severe power shortages.  Here is some useful information that you can use on your search for efficient and portable power.

Types of fuel

Generaters can be used as a backup power source during a power outage and can supply energy to your basic equipment and needs.  When researching different products be sure to consider factors such as the size, weight and fuel source of your generater.  There are different types of fuels that can be used for generaters, including but not limited to:

-Propane & Natural Gas
-Gasoline
-Diesel fuel
-Solar

Propane and natural gas are the more modern forms of fuel available for your generater.  This fuel type offers a longer shelf life, clean burning, more emission compliance and can be stored easily in both large or small tanks. Most new generaters use this type of fuel but there are some disadvantages. Due to the complicated fuel system, propane and natural gas generaters have a higher failure rate and are somewhat expensive.  As an alternative to propane and natural gas, one can use the widely accepted medium of gasoline.  Gasoline however is highly flammable and only has a one year shelf life.  Storing large amounts of gasoline can be potentially dangerous and unlike propane, it cannot be obtained during a power outage.  If you are looking for a less flammable and easily obtainable fuel, diesel may be your best option.  Diesel is designed as fuel for the military, shipping and farming equipment, so during emergency situations, it can easily be gathered.  If you are looking for an eco-friendly solution, solar generaters do exist on the market but in nighttime and in seasons where sunlight is less prevalent, solar generaters may cause some difficulties and are expensive.  Solar generaters save fuel costs in the long term and are a great way to use power without damaging the environment.

Portability

How portable is your generator? During an emergency situation, you maybe displaced or required to travel.  Acquiring a suitcase generater is a great way to guarantee that you are able to stay on the move, and unlike typical standby generaters, can be moved with ease.

Quality

Before you purchase your generater be sure to research the efficiency and customer satisfaction ratings for different manufacturers and the products they design.  Staying informed is the first step in using generaters during an emergency or even on a leisurely camping trip. Check that your generater is working correctly before and after each use to make sure that you are getting the best out of portable power.
