thats one of the best i have seen, a couple of comments toward the end are really good. that is coming from people who are doing it.
don't get me wrong gas has it's place that is why i am designeing mine so if i want to go mobile all need to do is swap motors and jack it up and slap the wheels on. and if i can find the right generator, the motor will stay.
