Where does this German thing come from ?
The oldest versions of this engine I can find are Kubota.

No not telco, these are commercial vehicle inverters like those installed in ambulances, fire trucks, service trucks. They are made by Dynamote Corporation in Seattle. The ones I have are model # A30-70LD. They require an engine driven alternator for power. I rescued mine from the dumpster. Seems nobody wanted to spend the $20.00 it cost me to repair them. Both units required an SCR replacement. I have seen these on eBay go for $700+. New ones are around $1500.00
John,
What an incredible find! Awesome that they cvan be used without a battery bank, but at 60 volts they would work very nicely with an efficiently wired battery bank. Personally I hate the bad idea of parallelling many 12 volt batteries on massive copper bussbars to power the common breed of 12V to 120 volt inverters, but what are you gonna do if that is all you can obtain?
Interesting, I would have thought that aluminum (or aluminium) foil, being non-ferrous would not do much to dissuade an EMP from hassling the devices therein. How do the physics of that work out? and is that why a foil helmet is such a good precaution against alien mind control?
Who'd have known?
