I've exhausted all the electricity i can use in my house that i'm renting. The landlord won't let me upgrade the panel so i'm seeking for an alternate way to mine.
i need to find a way to mine with about 3800W power. (Moving is not an option for a year or 2).
Would i be able to mine with a gas or gasoline generator in my basement with no vent? Do people rent a storage to mine? i'm located in michigan.

How can I control the temperature without a vent? You can try to set up a place similar to a warehouse.

Household gasoline or gas generators of 5 kilowatts are designed for temporary use, this is a few hours a day and they need to be constantly serviced. Do you need a permit to install a gas generator?

From what I know, generators are usually very noisy. From what I know, electricity produced by generators is usually overly expensive, hence most probably not suitable for mining. And since you have an engine with internal combustion there, you'll need enough oxygen. With no vent, I don't think that's possible. Also, if you keep the ETH mention in OP this may get moved into altcoin mining.

Even with a natural gas generator, the power will cost at least 11¢/kWh. You're better off finding a small warehouse to rent. Find one with at least 400A 3 phase power for no more than $1500/month of rent. You will get a lower electric rate as well (between 6¢-11¢) for most small commercial service in the U.S. Just check the electric tariff and call the utility to confirm the rate you calculated.
The other problem is these generators aren't designed to run 24/7. You will need to deal with the exhaust. There could be zoning restrictions in your city that ban permanent generators.

all you need is extra 3800w? Thats not even alot... you could probably get away with changing the fuse in the panel and not telling the landlord and just running it... I know its shady method but you are not hurting anybody... 3800w is probably negligible, and if its not, thats what the fuse is for, it will blow and stop everything.

Why not just simply dial down the power settings of your equipment for better efficiency? You can reduce power usage by 20% while only sacrificing 5-10% in hashrate.

No idea what's spiking that electricity to trip the breaker

yes and you will die from the fumes. also the basement will over heat as 3800 watts = about 19000 btus. What gear is it that you want to mine with? if it is gpus rigs for eth this belongs in alt coins. BTW 3800 watts for eth makes decent coin. maybe as much as 1.7gh which is 85-90 a day pre power cost.

It will produce much more heat than that. Most gasoline generators are 25-30% efficient, so the actual heat output will be 11 kW+. I think the easiest, quickest fix is just for OP to lower power intensity on his machines.

Mining with a generator doesn't make much sense. First of all, you cannot run the generator 24/7. You should run a certain hour each day and then let this generator rest. Because of this situation, you should buy at least 2 generators. In addition, generators will run noisy and this will create problems in your environment. It is best to move your system to a location where you can use higher electricity.

Noise can be reduced, I don't think it's an important issue. Residential generators require constant oil and filter changes, and require routine shutdowns. They need to be constantly monitored, or hire an employee to do this. If you have an extra tank of gasoline, barrels of oil, a filter warehouse and an honest worker who will serve it, then you can mine.

If it were me, instead of paying for these noise sources, I would rent somewhere else and move some of the system there. Since the power used is halved, the problems disappear to some extent. But this time, two different places, two different internets and two different security situations emerge. It will be a problem again. It makes more sense to move the system to another place where it can use electricity at a higher level.

Renting another house can be very expensive if you don't have enough mining equipment to use all the available power.I am looking for garages for this, there is a small power limit, but also inexpensive electricity.

i was watching this generator, is not available to buy yet but seems like an interesting concept and could be used for mining purposes i guess https://infinitysav.com/magneticgenerator/

I don't think a generator is an option. Running it 24/7 would obviously mean you have to service it frequently, on top of catering for the gas costs. Am sure you are aware of the current gas cost. You will most like be mining at a loss, which does not make sense. Not forgetting that you are putting your life at a risk. Just shut down mining for now until you are able to use a better alternative when you move to another place. Use the money to just buy bitcoin as you wait.

Mining is not easy to handle. It lot of processes in the mining process. Before using the mining. Kindly check the mining information. Mining is more power supply. So if use the generator for the mining you will spend for the more fuall. Use the below mentioned link. It helpful for the mining users. https://www.thegeekpub.com/11955/using-dual-power-supplies-mining/
