A 1924? Fairbanks Morse 6hp Z engine, in the process of being hooked up to a Westinghouse 120 amp DC generator for battery charging and welding.   Its been tested-it works, just needs a few bugs worked out!
 
 

Here is an old Delco 32 volt DC light plant.  Makes for a great 12 volt charger-runs slow, lasts forever!  Its fairly fuel efficient.  Electric start works-just barely on 12 volts though.  To start it, I put the house batteries in series with a 12 volt battery at the generator, providing 24 volt for starting.  This old unit will do about a 25 amp charge, on a good day.  I dont think its ever been apart-I know it could use a re-buid.  Who knows what it would do then!

This one is an early 20's long witte log saw engine, belted to a chrysler alternator.  This one will run on gasoline, diesel, kerosene, or wood charcoal-made in the wood stove.  It uses a small home built charcoal gasifier built out of an army ammo box.  One hopper full of charcoal will run this for about 6 hours-output of 200 watts(thats at about 150 rpm).  Soon I'll devote at least a whole page to this machine-with plans available.
