Rite now I have a lister 6/1 it works fine and I'm using WVO for fuel, so not much to run. But I'm getting older and I'm concerned what it would be like for my family if something happened to me. I know they would be shivering in the dark in short order and be forced to move to town. To get power is going to cost me 16,000 bucks. Yikes! Then ur signing up for a lifetime of bills.
I m fantasizing about a system the wife and boy could use if need be. I think now I have 250 watts solar panels. And I have 4 Surret 540 s and a big thumpin gen set. I'd like to put a gen closer to the house wit remote start or auto start. Gen set would need to be gas for easier starting and need an in closure with a propane heat source. I'd like to upgrade the panels to 1000 watts.
The inventor in me wants to cobble some thing together. I have a Koehler 12 hp electric start, thinking of running at say 2500 rpm, I have a 4 k winco gen and I could put a car alternator for 12 v side. Both of these wouldn't run at the same time I could use linear actuators to tighten the belts to select which to run. Put a good muffler and a sound controls box and we r done just need gas and oil. I think this would be better then spending 2500 on a Honda 3000. Any body got any better ideas?
