Got a 10 hp diesel engine, what now?
i bought a 10 hp diesel engine off ebay. It'a yanmar clone. seems to be well made, it starts easy. I have not been able to put a load on it.
My thoughts was to build a generator. but i really have no need.
I can pick up a cushman/ club car mini trucks cheap surplus from local AFB where i work. Would be a neat project. Again, no need.
I could build a hybrid out of a Porsche 914 i have, but i fear this is too complex to expensive,
i just bought a new Vtwin motor for my lawn mower, so no need there, and the 10 hp is a little too small anyway.
I fancied a diesel power motorcycle, but can't find an old frame cheap. Seen plenty of these on the net, rumors of 110-140 mpg. hmmm. my commute takes me a highway, so i would need to go 75 mph easy, not sure this would have enough power. And since i work at the AFB, i would have to take a bunch of safety classes, and all before I could ride to work.
Any ideas??
What do you think?
