In order for generator produced power to be clean, the engine also has to be highly regulated. This would not be possible with something attached to the engine. I would suggest an inverter large enough to supply your needs and an appropriate battery set up to feed the inverter. A 2000 watt inverter should be sufficient.

I'd have to end up with clean voltage that would for short bursts be wanting 20 amps to recharge my strobes. Right now I have to rent a big ol Honda generator which is heavy big and expensive. Any of you engineer types out there know how I can do this....? BTW I dont ever use the ac cause I ilive in montana etc. Thanks Rob 87 Syncro |
