Default Lerch's Changfa Generator Update

Greetings All,

Yesterday was exciting, we loaded the generator up to 62% rated power,
and she seemed to handle it vary well. Once I get a little further
along with the project, I plan on doing a 100% load test, but until
then, this will have to do

Only complaint so far is the beast is ungodly noisy! I have several
plans on how to reduce the offending emissions, but at least at this
point I know if the utility power goes out, I have a way of keeping
the house up and running like normal.

I've also updated the web-site with yesterday's work:

(Look for the "Workday 5 & 6" link on the left of the main page)


Take Care,
James Lerch

Press on: nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
