How many amps could I hope to get out of a pole lathe set up? (Thus, what sort of genny do I want from a scrap yard?)

Given that an average human can output a steady power of between 50
and 150W and I=P/V you should be able to work out what you need?

He's gone insane.

His ramblings are getting worse, just take a look at his post about making
chips, and all the new words he's invented - potatage, brexitit, faraggio
and nexit.

Just the subject title of this post is enough to have him sectioned.

2.72343A According to my calculations...

(Thus, what sort of genny do I want from a scrap yard?)

A blue one.

Surely at 3Ax2A, it should be green?

Ok, so once again this 'warm and fuzzy' will have a go at translating
(some of it) for you all.

I think that he was asking about a 'computer PSU chair', so something
like an exercise bike / potters wheel / pole / bodgers lathe that he
could rig to a generator (of some sort but not the sort you were
thinking of) to power a PC.

So, my first answer told him that he would probably need to stay
within 150W (unless he was an athlete) and so would be looking at a
generator (/alternator) of at least 150W and if at 12V, that would
give him about 12A.

I believe you can get 12V input Pico PSU's and so it is all very
doable.

He might be better off with a laptop as at least the battery can cover
beer brakes. ;-)

Only if you have one with the reverse osmosis module.
