Small Gen power
« on: December 03, 2008, 03:02:12 AM »
Here's one I've seen used in Alaska. Car generator with a big old Caddy radiator fan blade hooked up to it. Gen wires ran to a big cat batt and twelve volt lights ran off of it. Not a lot of juice but better than a blank.Water wheel in stream will also turn gen.
