Hi I am new to this forum so I thought I'd introduce myself. First off I'm 16 and am living off grid in a very small town in northern Alberta, Canada. Currently we have batteries and an inverter along with a few generators to charge the batteries, the batteries take up the slack when the generators are shut down. I do all of the wiring since my dad doesn't know how, and I follow all the regulations. I have recently come to the conclusion that having a gen set running at 3600RPM is not as fun any more since they burn out too quickly, are noisy and are not as cheap to run anymore with the price of fuel, we also have a smaller engine running an alternator which charges batteries, but that doesn't run very cheap to run either and doesn't produce enough power without having to run faster, louder and being less economical. So that is why I am interested in getting a Listeroid engine for power generation since they run slower and are therefor quieter and last longer and also can run on veggie oil relatively easily. I would hook up an alternator and a 1500 or 1800 RPM 120 volt AC gen head, the alternator can charge the batteries without having to have a battery charger running through the gen head, and the gen head can run the house and whatever else is hooked up. But this is my question, WHERE can I get a Listeroid engine without it costing alot for the engine or with shipping? If ANYONE sells Listeroids that is relatively close to me please let me know about them? 8)

Thanks for reading all my jibberish. ;D
