No bike powered generator but I am in the market for a generator. Not for “end time” purposes but some members of my extended family suffered through an ice storm and were without power for about 10 days, if it happened to them, it could happen to me and like the good boy scout, I want to be prepared.
The gen set I’d like to have is expensive. Gen sets range in price from about $750 to upwards of $1,000,000. I want one that would replace all my electrical needs for a couple of weeks, probably propane.
Look on ebay for “propane generator” or “natural gas generator”.
There are a bunch that people are selling, usually from defunct businesses, that have only a few hundred hours on them just from weekly testing.
They are running around $3000-$5000 + shipping ($500?) for a liquid cooled, 18KW model. That’ll run 3 houses, but I’m looking to oversize because I plan on using “woodgas” at sometime in the future.
