What size engine is needed to use this?
When you convert power from one form to another, there is always some loss in the process. Where does this power go? The loss comes from the heat generated by combustion and friction of the engine.   An alternator or generator is only 80- 90% efficient. When deciding what size motor or engine will drive your alternator or generator, you should consider the loss in your calculations.
