Generators, Again?!

In another thread some folks wondered about using their vehicle to supply power to their homes in times of disaster or power line repairs.I recalled seeing 5-8kw AC generators under the hoods of SUV's like those owned by many families. It was an article in one of the Popular Science or Mechanics magazines some years ago. It showed a large aluminum cased unit that fit under the hood of a pickup or SUV that had enough room in the engine compartment. The generator could be plugged into the home's electrical system to keep vital gear and appliances running in case of a loss of main power. I finally found the one I think was in the article and it is the Aura Systems, Inc. "AuraGen". I came across another one produced on the opposite side of the country from Raven Technology called "The Blackbird". These are proven systems in use all over the world. ^_^

*If* he was there, he was probably part of a steaming pile of polar bear poop.

Hopefully the killer bear got hemorrhoids from the knife.

I was very disappointed when my physician told me I could no longer have children. He said they contain too much sugar and I could choke on the small bones. ^_^

Avoid Italians, too greasy. Give you heart attack. German kids taste like cabbage. Conneseurs like French children from the north side of the river, in the sunny areas.

Is this thread turned sick, or what? I hesitate to click send.

Antarctica. Middle of the ocean. Middle of the dead sea. Center of Sahara desert. Democrat National Convention. Detroit airport. Washington, DC, "murder capitol of the nation".

In reality, I think we'd have to exclude that, among a few other places.
