<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>Hi Henri,</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>You tell us more about your project
application:</FONT></STRONG></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG></STRONG>
<DIV><BR>I'm thinking the camshaft from a propane engine might be close. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>I agree, just ensure you have the right valve insert seats also
fitted. The older cast iron inserts tend to burn out on the exhaust
side.</STRONG></DIV><STRONG></STRONG>
<DIV><BR>My generator needs 100 hp @1800 rpm. It is a Hobart pipeliner with two
400 amp sides @ thirty five volts dc. The ac capacity on the hobart is just 1500
watts so I need ac auxiliary generators inc. single and three phase for
shop power. <BR>A three phase, three hp and a single phase five hp motors should
do the trick. <BR>I think I can generate enough 12 volt dc current during the
day with storage batteries to supply household power at night.</DIV>
<DIV> <BR><STRONG>Cannot comment on the electrical power outputs, but if
you are operating with variable load, your consumption should be at around
60-70% of the maximum output. This allows for motor start-up loading so the
engine doesn't just groan to a stall. I have to wonder if the turbo can respond
quickly enough to potential load increase to match the engine governor, so
be aware to monitor this once you get it all running. Probably it won't matter
if you don't need a high spec power supply.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Please post an update once you lash it all together.</STRONG></DIV>
