Look here boys, and the few girls,

Surplus Center has the 26.4 HP CATERPILLAR C1.1 DIESEL ENGINE 49 instock.

This is a great little engine at just above 50% of wholesale price. http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=28-1833&catname=engines

Not as Cheap as the little baby cats but what a power plant.

add= One of the new Remy International 12 volt 420 amp 80% efficient HVH High Voltage Hairpin Alternators, and a Balmar Controller and you got a real charge source.
JUST REMEMBER..it doesn't matter what came first, as long as you got chickens & eggs.
Semantics is for sitting around the fire drinking stumpblaster, as long as noone is belligerent.
The Devil is in the details, ignore the details, and you create the Devil's playground.

Also add a Gov...America Controller, along with a small or large bat bank, with two 2800w inverters, and you have a variable Speed Inverter-Generator with peak/start loads of about 12kw.

Now with a little experimentation with the diode pack and I think you can go 24, 36, or 48 volt.

I would use to never have anything to do with, a Delco alternator, but their new HVH technology is right out there one the edge.
