OK, I am re thinking this idea because I don't like the loss of efficiency when converting the ac to dc. I did a little looking on ebay and found that used treadmill motors might be a better idea. They are perm. magnet motors rated at around 2.5 hp at 110 volts (1800 watts) and are being sold a lot to use as windmill generators. They are also cheap ($25-$45 each). I also found a 10 hp diesel motor (new) for around $620. My idea is to use the diesel to turn 3 of the treadmill motors to give me around 50 amps of charging. What do you guys think?
