60 KW Gen

[ramset]

A 250 CC engine developing 16kw? whats it run on Nitro?   I don't see a turbo no blower    that is amazing   Chet

Just for reference....a Yamaha YZ250F four-stroke dirt bike engine makes about 35hp stock....  so 16KW out of 250cc is not difficult.

Something must get lost in the conversion    I personaly never saw a 250cc motor on a 16kw genset    normally a job for much larger displacment diesel engines  although I did not know they were getting that much from a 4 stroke normally asperated engine

I believe they quote the prius hybrid automobile as being a 153KW electrical machine.
This value is quite high when you first see it, as battery powered auto have 25KW quoted
as the maximum instantaneous power and average home is like 25KW instantaneous
maximum. Regenerative braking probably accounts for the hybrid's required high power.
Several people seem to offer kits that allow your hybrid to power your house in an
emergency.

if you check out the mini link and links from there youll see the mini has a 250cc engine in the boot when the power drops, then it kicks in and charges the batteries AND runs the car at the same time, you never have to stop and wait 5 or so hours to go another 200 miles or what ever like some of the other cars out there., now if you replace the 250cc engine with a pulse engine youll truly be fuel free and can then drive as far as you want with out stopping.
