60W DC Generator Model with Digital Voltage Display & Cooling Fan for Engine Upgrades
Hero Section: Turn Your Model Engine into a Power Station
A model engine running on a stand is impressive, but a model engine generating real, usable electricity is a masterpiece. This 60W DC Generator Model is the bridge between mechanical motion and electrical power. Featuring a sleek silver alloy body and a mesmerizing digital voltage display, it transforms your Stirling, steam, or gas engine into a functional power plant. Watch the numbers climb on the screen as you throttle up—it provides immediate, visual proof of your engine's performance. It’s not just an accessory; it’s the purpose your engine has been waiting for.
Why Choose This 60W Generator?
This unit is built for makers who demand both form and function.
- Real-Time Visual Feedback: The integrated digital voltmeter is the star of the show. It gives you instant feedback on your engine's RPM and power output, adding a high-tech, "control room" feel to your setup.
- High-Output Capability: This isn't a toy dynamo. Capable of producing up to 118V and 60W of power (at ~2500 RPM), it has the muscle to light up LED arrays, drive small loads, or demonstrate serious power generation principles.
- Active Thermal Management: Generators get hot under load. We’ve solved this with a built-in centrifugal fan. This active cooling system forces air through the casing, allowing for extended run times without the risk of overheating.
- Universal Upgrade: With a compact footprint and standard mounting points, it is designed to be easily belted to a wide range of model engines, from methanol to gasoline to steam.
Technical Highlights: The Expert’s View
- Linear Voltage Generation: The output is directly proportional to speed. From a gentle idle at 1000 RPM to a high-speed run at 10,000 RPM, the voltage scales linearly, making it an excellent tool for teaching electromagnetic induction.
- Durability First: The casing is crafted from high-quality alloy treated with electrophoretic spray paint. This finish is resistant to oil, fuel, and heat, ensuring it stays looking silver and pristine even in a working garage environment.
- Complete Drive Kit: We don't just send the motor. The kit includes a pulley, drive belt, and coupling, giving you the essential hardware needed to link it to your prime mover immediately.

Usage Scenario: The Garage Experiment
You have your modified 4-stroke model engine mounted on a wooden base. You bolt this generator next to it and connect the drive belt. You pull the starter cord. As the engine roars to life, the generator's fan starts to whine, and the red digital numbers on the display flicker to life: 12V... 24V... 48V. You throttle up, and the voltage spikes. You flip a switch to connect a bank of light bulbs, and they blaze with light. You have successfully converted fuel into light.
Important Tips
- Voltage Warning: This generator can produce up to 118V DC. This is high voltage and can give you a shock. Always handle output wires with care and ensure connections are insulated.
- Load Matching: This produces raw DC power. If you want to charge a phone or battery, you must use a voltage regulator (buck converter) to stabilize the output, as the voltage fluctuates with engine speed.
- Mounting: Ensure the drive belt has the correct tension. Too loose, and it slips; too tight, and it puts strain on the generator bearings.
