Powering Refridgerator and other electrical devices?
Hi guys!

We recently made our first power generator.
After doing some research, we decided we really wanted to place a refridgerator since it keeps food from spoiling a lot longer than the preserving bin.
Now, I placed down a refridgerator close to the power generator, but the electrical cables don't snap to the fridge.
When I have a cable running under the fridge and power the generator, it says it's not powered.
I had the same problem with the lampposts.

Any of you guys that are more experienced and can help me out here?
Thanks in advance!

You need an outlet at the end of a cable. The outlet then supports all devices in a pretty large area with electricity (automatically spans cables from the outlet to lamps etc. in a direct line)

You have to put an outlet on the end of the wire, its the outlet that then connects automatically to the fridge.

Attach an outlet to one of the cables and all your power problems are cured ;)

Also, it doesn't matter if you attach 1 or more devices to the generator, right? Gasoline will be used up at the same rate?

I havent noticed any difference, or if it is there, its very very small. Thats between one light, and like 10 air cons, 20 lights and 2 fridges.

Yes, it doesn't matter how many devices are connected.

It seems like it burns about 1 gas an hour.
