I have 4 extra Siemens AC drives sittings around, which are each capable of 200kW(270hp) if driven by the right Inverter/Controller. That should make any car or truck a blast to drive. 
Using some sort of power buffer, be it ultra caps, preferably not as the gen. set would run 100% of the time then. Or a powerful durable battery such as an A123 pack, or if you have more cost effective cell please share. |
Yes, the generator is built in. Did you get my last e-mail? I posted a link for a place that sells used 30Kw units. Contact Gaia on the cell, they are similar in format as the ones I sent you data on, but put out less power. I know there are plenty of good place in Canada as well.
