freebeard: Bolting a radial engine into a genset seems easier than doing it with a regular driveline due to clearance issues.

seifrob: Gotta agree with you, there is somewhat of an over-expectation in regard to the overall efficiency of this concept. OTOH a direct-driven electric driveline without differentials or a gearbox is often pointed as advantageous as it eliminates most of the friction losses.

redpoint5: As long as there would be no shock hazard for loading bay operators, makes sense.
