DIY Generator Sound Dampener Reduces Noise by 45%
This homemade Generator sound dampener (muffler) reduces noise by 45%. We test this claim with Decibel readings and data analysis. We use thermal imaging to determine the risks of overheating, which prove to be minimal: an 8 degree F increase in directly-measured motor temp when the generator is operating at a 25% wattage load.
Conclusion: this thing works, and use it with discretion. If it's 114 degrees outside, maybe avoid it.
I standby my statement that all CO alarms on portable outdoor generators cause harm and should be deleted. I believe companies are acting unethically by continuing to produce and promote CO alarms on outdoor generators.

    Inside top of can try using either Stainless steel mesh epoxied int the top as a spark limiter or possibly coarse Stainless steel wool/scrubber. Have tou thought about either Kao wool instead of PoP on the walls before epoxy or aireated concrete like you can make for a forge.

    Time to build a baffled tube with the same material. Should quiet down quite a bit more. The panel you built is a great idea but you are diverting the sound sideways, would be interesting to see the db from the side. The one commenter that said to put it into an insulated container is on to something, combine it with a fabric exhaust baffle to really cut down all around noise. Just throwing out ideas.

  • @nooneofconsequence3847
    @nooneofconsequence3847 11 годин тому

    The reason the percentage is higher for the second one is due to it being louder but still dropping the same amount of decibels. If I have two jars of water, one with a gallon, the other one with two gallons, I can remove half a gallon from each, but the percentage I remove will be different. The jar with one gallon will have half the amount removed while the jar with two gallons will only have a quarter of the amount removed. I hope my explanation helps and makes sense

  • @iiinsaiii
    @iiinsaiii 13 годин тому

    I got mine in a large plastic storage bin. It’s bigger enough to have three Ryobi 1800 watt generators. I added fire retardant sound dampening insulation all over the inside. I added an attic fan to the top to suck out the hot air and exhaust. I added a piece of wood over the intake of the exhaust fan, that’s about 2 inches away. To baffle the sound. I’ve also added intake ports all round the bottom. When I have all three generators running, the only thing you hear is a lite humming. Generator not over heating, air being circulating and pulled out. But most importantly it’s quiet.

  • @ikoiko5311
    @ikoiko5311 14 годин тому

    I'm not a physicist but following a simple logic the sound does not grow linearly 30db is like wispering but 130db is a landing jet plane. Four whispering people won't be anywhere as loud as jumbo jet i think even a hundred won't be suficient so cuting off a few decibels from the top of scale might be a suficient decrease overall.

    Gas generators have no place in a situation where you'd want your generator to be quiet. Electrical is vastly superior with regard to thermal and audible signature.

    • @InventionIncarnate
      @InventionIncarnate 11 годин тому

      I say respectfully, that statement is wrong and confusing. Gas generators are ubiquitous and the quieter the better. Furthermore, an "electrical generator" is a battery, in simple terms. Show me an "Electrical generator' that can run a space heater for more than 30 min.

    I thought it was measured in square law, here's something I found. According to the inverse square law, it can be shown that for each doubling of distance from a point source, the sound pressure level decreases by approximately 6 dB. Examples of points sources could include valves, small pumps and motors
