I ended up getting a propane generator that could be linked to my battery bank and turn on when the charge dropped to a certain point.  I don't know much about generators, clearly.  I'd like to find it a nice home.  If I take a large loss, so be it.

Commissioned Willem Andree to make this for me for the end of the world in 2012 or thereabouts, ran it for maybe 6 hours.  World didn't end so I'm selling it.  My loss, your gain.
Custom AC and DC power generator system that runs on oil’s of all types.
The engine is single cylinder, 650 rpm, water cooled and weights 700Lbs.
Heavy duty 4 pole Marathon AC alternator with a permanent magnetic excitation generator built in that with keep the generator working regardless of how long the generator has been sitting. This alternator provides 120/220 volts AC for direct connection to home or business electrical panel.
A Heavy duty 24 volt DC alternator that is used for charging a 24 volt DC battery bank.
The engines cooling system is custom designed and built to work on convection circulation. Heat from the engine flows up into a small storage tank and then down through a radiator and back into the engine. Heat from the radiator flows through the Marathon alternator and discharged out the front. This keeps the alternator warm and dry plus keeps the alternator cool under heavy loads.
The electrical box with outlets is place directly in front of the radiator on a steel plate that also protects the radiator from damage.
The custom frame system has built in adjusters that allow the engine and alternator to be aligned for proper belt alignment. The lower base frame has a steel plate welded into the bottom that holds any oils or fuels that may leak out. The base frame is also a large skid plate that allows the system to be easily moved.
Put $21k into it.  All reasonable offers welcome.
