[QUOTE="MakeshiftAudio, post: 6599512, member: 608963"] Um. 1.5HP=1119W. 13.8*130=2070W. Either way, even if everything was 100% efficient, you will not get it. Generally, you need a HP rating of 2x the kW rating. If you want 30kW, you'll need at least a 60HP motor. That's a general rule of thumb for generators. It would be better for you to build a switchmode power supply, or get a large transformer to step the voltage down from whatever to 12.5V, rectify and filter it, and you should get about 14V or so. Though when testing with this sort of supply, don't be surprised if you get a 120Hz hum. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
