LMAO, all that work and your avatar is a toilet?????

I don't have one... YET! I have the plans for one here somewhere... always wanted to try it out, and see how well it works. I have often thought it would be good for a worst case scenario running a generator.

The turbine drinks almost the same at no load as it does at full load, but yes, unless you have a huge battery bank, they would probably boil off (best case), or explode (worst case) the batteries. I have mine setup with a pretty big load bank (40 gallon Water heater with 24 volt heating...

I had thought about the turbine too, but man do they suck down some fuel! Think about that before you go the route. I think the one I was looking at drank like 8.5 gallons an hour, if memory serves.

On GL, I got a 28v 4.2 KW gasoline genset. It had 7 hours on it. The only thing I had to do was add oil and fuel to start it. I did take off the valve covers and prelube it, as I had no idea how long it had been sitting before I got the unit. IT started on the second pull. It is now charging a...

Some really great pictures on here, Thank you to ALL who shared, and those that will in the days to come. Glad to see there were not too many casualties there! A special shout out to all of those who made this possible! AWESOME WORK!

Very nice setup, thanks for sharing! I may have a new project now! (because I need another)

Dang I wish I was there.... I hope next year. Looks like a great time.

Oh I almost forgot.... nopics

You really don't want it to go behind the axle, that would cause the trailer to flip up the front of the dolly. Might want to put some sort of stop to keep it from going back behind the axle.

Congrats on the Deuce! Great work!

I wouldn't go very far, you want as much weight as possible on that axle. Maybe 3 inches.

Has anyone tried matching it up at Granger?

I had thought an access plate installed in the bed would be a good idea... maybe I will try that.

John, be careful of using full synthetic on an engine that is already broken in, the seals and such will actually shrink after switching from regular to synthetic. I found out after running full sythetic in my truck. It took a while to figure out why I had all the leaks suddenly, after switching...

LMAO! This sounds like the "Occupy Wall Street" mentality!

Hello and welcome from N.J. Lonestar! This is THE site for your new habit!

At this point it may be the easiest way to do it. Keep in mind the cheap ac inverters are all modified sign wave, but it probably wont make a whole lot of difference with what you are doing. Home depot probably has a cheap one for like $20

Welcome RangerBob! I guess since you have the snowcat already, you know that your savings accounts will stay decimated! LOL! Enjoy!

You really should try to regulate the power to 12 volts before you hook this up. There are plenty of places you can get a regulator for 12 volts, check out any of the car pc type sites. I would ahte to see you fry a good pair of speakers for no reason.
