For the portable open frame genestS we need a PORTABLE solution. Panels that will either fold or be carried loose.

When I was much younger, I was told an Ostrich would stick his head in the sand when frightened. Apparently the Ostrich thought that if he could not hear or see what was going on around him he would be safe.

Years later, when I would be presenting something to a class, and a student would turn around and make a statement exactly like the one I had just presented, I would walk over to the student, smile, and ask if he had his head in the sand? Of course, not too many of them knew what I was talking about. But, it still got a laugh while emphasizing a point about needing to pay attention. Perhaps I need to ask the same question today?

Over year ago I posted a photo of a simple, portable "dog house" enclosure made of 1/4" fan-fold insulation board. It set-up in seconds, was assembled with common duct tape and secured with available weights like rocks, firewood, etc., was easily folded and slipped under a mattress, remained waterproof, significantly reduced sound levels in 4 different directions and allowed for cooling of the genset. At the time, several forum readers abuilt one, tried it and liked it. One even used a cardboard box as a result with good results.

I reposted this info with a photo just a few days ago. I guess it went totally unnoticed?

It works as a PORTABLE solution. Panels that will either fold or be carried loose. What more can I say?

I would also like to point out that my sound abatement work went far beyond the early experiments with the ELM3000. On 10/8/07 I published/posted a full report on a very successful sound abetment design based on extensive research of sound absorption, reflection, refraction and the movement of air currents needed to cool the generator and engine. I did this so fellow forum members could benefit from my research in designing their own enclosures. Search back to the date andy you will find the complete posting. When Brad built his enclosure after mine, he was considerate enough to reference my work and design as beneficial to his design. Thank-you, Brad, for being a true gentleman and giving credit where credit was due.
