Hey guys, I am desinging a box, as a project for school, to quiet a generator specifically for bowfishing and I need some input from bowfishermen. Any input would be great, I have already pulled some great ideas from this forum, but have some general questions for the "customers" of the product. Thanks for looking.


1. Would you prefer a metal (more expensive, but more durable) or wood?

2. What type of cooling system would you prefer (air or water cooled)?

3. Would you prefer to remove the factory metal cage and install in a box or a box to cover complete assembly?

4. How much would you be willing to spend to quiet your generator?

great input guys, the red light idea and using aluminum is exactly what Im looking for. This is a college project so simple might not get me a A. The water cooled idea was to use a 120v water pump to pump water through copper coiled around the generator. Im not sure how much heat this will dissipate, can run some tests though (also water and electrical doesnt mix).
