Looks a lot like my Fairbanks/Morse 45B.... Turns 1200 Rpm with a 3:1
up-speed Belt & Pulley, Off the PTO Clutch, that drives a 3Kw 3600 Rpm
Genend. Runs all day on a Quart of #2 Diesel. Currently on
semi-permanent Loan to a Close Neighbor (close = 10 Sq Miles) and he
runs his whole Outfit off it, during the summers.

The Other Power boys in the mountains have gensets that will run on about
anything that burns...(c;

The Listeroid model.


Someone with a cruising sailboat they can drag a shaft behind needs to
really take a close look at the Otherpower axial alternators that make
incredible power on a slow turning wind machine....converted to be run off
a screw on a shaft behind their boat...or as a modified wind machine for
boat use. These are just about the simplest electric machines I've ever
encountered....and SO powerful!...KILOWATTS of multiphase AC to rectify
into house battery boilers....

If a man goes way out into the woods all alone and says something,
is it still wrong, even though no woman hears him?
