solar power generators
Can a generator use solar power and partial energy produced used to run itself?
SUN–>Generator uses some produced to run itself….so it runs on two sources
Any amount of energy fed back to the input of the source that produced it would be less than the amount of energy required to produce the fed back energy in the first place. The reason for this is because the generator`s efficiency (output/input) is always less than one because of losses caused by friction or flaws in design.
Unless you could supply enough energy from the solar source alone to satisfy the input energy requirements of the generator then it would be more energy conservative to store the energy from the solar source and time share it`s use with the energy from the generator than to waste energy in a feed back scheme that causes the generator`s efficiency to be even less than it was originally. Of course if you do that then you will have to have another energy source to drive the generator. The whole objective is to get the most output with the least input and your idea is certainly worth consideration. It has probably been considered in one form or another by every engineer that deals in this sort of thing but it just flat will not work. It is very hard not to talk in circles when discussing this subject so I hope you was able to bear with me.
