Ok, I did a little bit of research. Anyone care to double check this ?
Looks correct (at a casual glance).
I'll say right now that 100 caps at $40 is a non starter :)
Yes. It's possible, but not cheap. :-)
The cheapest solution is probably an ICE and generator. Small engines
and generators can deliver amazing amounts of power if they only have to
do it for a monute.
I wonder if compressed air or a hydraulic accumulator could store the
kind of energy needed? Air and hydraulic motors can deliver enormous
peak power levels.
Also look at it from the opposite direction. What can you do to reduce
the peak power requirements? Can the energy be used more efficiently, or
spread out over a longer period to reduce the peak to normal battery levels?
