proposed a theory

I really think you ought to put one together and see if it works for
you.

Yes. I suppose I absorb the time, build a small one, and see what
happens.

I would have to go larger for welding, though.

As I said, I saw some figures that showed that these things are not
nearly as twitchy as I thought, from what I had read. They also said
that welders (including GMAW etc) are fine. Electronic gear needs more
care. But then I would not run a lot of electronic gear on most
alternators that I could afford!

They actually seem to be far more efrficient than motor-alternators. I
did not realise this as I thought it was all about money up front
(which policy I applaud, but in this case could not entirely live
byG)


Since your limit is power available, let me tell you of one I put
together.
It was for a fishing rod blank company that had a centerless sander.
This was about twenty five years ago so I may remember somethings
incorrectly. But I think the main motor on the sander was a 5 hp

OK. Interesting.

I have decided that I should not be offended by
anybody's behaviour but my own......the theory's
good, anyway.
