Response to Yesterday, at Punkin Chunkin .... |

...generators is that they're pretty small. If memory serves the RV unit is only a couple of KW (it only burns 0.2 gallons of diesel fuel per hour). I'm going to guess that the military unit might be pretty small too, either man-portable, or more likely, small enough to fit in the back of a Humvee, or towed by one in a low-silhouette trailer. They are both tiny compared to (what?) maybe a 500KW, "over-the-road" diesel-powered generator, integrated on a flat-bed "semi" trailer, that big events like "Punkin Chunkin require.
That will be $1.98 for those Professional Engineering estimates.
Cheers,
Dave
PS: Hey, go to the "Quiet Revolution Motor Company's" website (use Google) and especially look at their engine animations. They'll give you a much better handle on how these beasties operate.
