Yeah, 1000 watt generator won't do much, thats why I am looking at puting 60-80 amps at 110v dc into the system. That should make me able to do all the city driving I want, since I coast a lot. I just bought 4 treadmill motors rated at 1900 watts at 110v dc each for $40 each on ebay. I don't know if the small diesel I saw will pull that much. I have a line on a 12.5 hp Kohler gas engine with electric start that I can pick up dirt cheap, so I think I am going to get it and do some experimenting with how much power I can generate with 2 to 4 of the treadmill motors. Should be fun. Once I get things sorted out, I would really like to get a diesel that would have enough power to give me my 60-80 amps, and run it on biodiesel.
