Alternative campsite power source

What a great use of old technology on a small scale. He's definately put some thought into it.

Just an idea..............................I saw this once.

A 4 stroke whipper snipper motor attached directly to an alternator. This guy had it tucked away in a separate part of his engine bay, hard mounted and wired. When the batteries where a bit low he would simply start his whipper snipper and walk away.

Obviously 4 stroke to keep the noise down. It was geared to only idle, so the alternator turned at the right speed, so it was fairly quiet, especially with the bonnet down.

I thought it was a great idea. A great back up if there is no wind, and no sun.

Cheers,

Ty.

Some interesting ideas we have solar panels and bond batteries as back up

Just camp under power lines, get a very long bit of cable and form it into a loop, lay it on the ground under the power lines and plug your camp in to that !!! Simple !!!!
