You have to buy a fairly expensive synchronized inverter, and don't expect to
get too much $$ for the wear on your generator. You're better off charging
batteries with it and only running it a couple hours a day.

That depends on the state -- Wisconsin allows any renewable source,
so does CA and, I believe, some other states.

Harmon,
I also have a 5kw 120/240 VAC cogen diesel and thought a lot about how I can
net meter with it. How do plan on doing the utility intertie? Inverters?

I don't know why. I've looked at zoning regs for a few places and
can't find anything that addresses this -- and why should they? I have

Depending on the fuel cell (over 600 designs) there is a very wide range in
efficiencies. Richard

Thanks you very much for your very well explained answer. I am not
interested in hydrogen as a fuel. I am just wondering why our
government and a lot of big companies are spending so much money to try
to develop an energy source that appears to be so unworkable when
compared to biodi

Agreed. But having read a fuel cell is up to 80% efficient ÷
80 percent - efficiency of the electric motor/inverter

Gearbox mass and gear loss would be avoided as well as the cost of

I would like to calculate the BTU's needed to to drive a 4,500 pound
pickup 700 miles at 75 mph.

My 4x4, 3/4 ton pickup can do this on 40 gal of dinodiesel.

Multiply the BTUs per gallon times 40 gallons.
