[TPR] Asa & Randy Report

[Owen Lee Green]

Well I have been toying with the idea because my neighbor down the street
has an old signal corps generator that I was thinking about getting from
him to do just what I suggested. Take the old jeep 4 cyl off and replace it
with a 100 HP DC electric motor with a power bleed off that would keep all
the batteries charging. Even while running 24/7.
