WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

I was chatting to some friends. Why the hell are we importing generators into South Africa?
South Africa has factories that can manufactur whole vehicle motors. These Chinese generators are literally a petrol-driven lawnmower engine with a dynamo. Ok, its a bit more sophisticated than that, but surely any self-respecting mechanical and electrical engineer can design a South African built generator that uses local parts and can save us on forex for importing them?
I heard that the local agent for a Chinese importer sold 18,000 small generators in recent months in Johannesburg!!!
Here is a whole new industry for South Africa. The Nigerians and most other black African countries also need generators. So why don’t we build and market generators for South Africa and the rest of Africa?
Even now there must be enough skills left in the country to do this and I’ll be the end result will be better and sturdier than what the Chinese produce.
I experimented with a Chinese built generator on the weekend. It was most interesting. But more on the results of that later. I have some simple ideas for a really cheap way to get generators into your house powering your equipment. I just want to complete my experiments, then I’ll tell you what I learned.
If you have one of those Chinese generators… a friend of mine is now busy learning how to repair them since the Chinese offer no support for repairs.
