Hybrid Fiero- Need genset help

Hi guys, it's been a long time since I have posted here, but some of you will remember me as they guy who broke one of Paul's first contollers by mounting it directly to a transmission that had an out of balance flywheel. Anyway, I now have a little time to re-work the fiero and wanted to make it a hybrid. I came back to this forum and found that Ben is doing the same thing, good job Ben!

What I need help on is what type of genset to use. I have a 4kw generator with an 8 horse briggs, and I thought of just using a full wave bridge rectifier on the 110v ac output to go directly into my 96v battery pack. Any thoughts on this idea? How big of rectifier would I need? Any help would be appreciated as I want to get the fiero back on the road as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance,
Hondo
