3600. Runs too smooth for 1800.

These guys have it for $1647:

7500w-Diesel/Detail

6500 watts rated output, 7500 peak. It's only 1 cylinder.



Even the 3-cyl 22.5KW beast runs 3600 RPM:

DP22500EDS-22500w/Detail

10 gallons of diesel fuel (or your homemade) produces 20KW for 8
hours....or 10KW for 12 hours. That's a lot of power!

Hell, 20KW should plane a sailboat!....diesel electric!



I still say this is the ultimate diesel genset...6KW, 700 RPM engine:

24/7 power in Dominican Republic on 50% soybean oil, 50% kerosene....or
other suitable oils. You can put it in your will and give it to power
your grandchildren, if they survive. So rugged, so slow, few moving
parts, zero electrics, no computers. Every 30-40 years, just replace
the worn out alternator...(c;]

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