Wow! Glad you like the idea pgfpro.

I'm guessing a direct rubber coupled Neodymium Permanent Magnet generator is most efficient, But then you are very much limited by the rpm's you can turn the engine-genset at.

If you are going to be testing various engines; a belt drive, with different size pulleys, or a plain old gearbox would allow you to easily run the engine~genset at optimal rpm's... mostly..!

I'll do some research.
How many KW and what rpm range/gearing are we talking?
