Hi all,

Voltage on board, 60 V
5 deep cycle battery’s 130 Ah
inverter, 3000 watts, 240 V 50 Hz
3 solar panels, Pmax 280 watts per unit
Alternator on GX200 Honda, standard 24 Volts 80 amps, modified to charge 60 Volts
Manipulating the field coil with PWM and voltage limiter.

Charcoal gasifier good for up to 12 Hp engine
GX200 can be belted to either the alternator or a centrifugal pump ( 30 cbm/hr )

Electric motor for the trike is a shunt type, 1200 watts

Electric water pumps can be used , even on the solar panels/inverter only.

The GX200@4000 Rpm, on charcoal gas, driving the alternator, produces 2200 watts.

Viewing angle from seat position, 180 degree’s

a fun toy to be prepared for offgrid living :grin:

Nice build, I am not a safety fanatic but I would suggest taping all but the working end of any metal tools being used around battery banks. I have worked on a few and find that my anxiety level is lower if I am working with insulated tools. I just use electrical tape from one end to the other and then run a knife down the tool to remove afterwards.

It looks pretty sweet! Hopefully it works out as an extremely useful tool for you as well. I love how the panels fold up!

Had a new show to attend…
University to sign an MOU for community and university to work together, partial my work to teach.

One minister from the Prime ministers office, head off National Research Council Thailand getting a tour and posing on the pictures…

Also, the Governor could not withstand taking a tour on the trike… had to give him a sip of lemon juice…

BTW… 11 th, showing off for the King’s daughter , in Bangkok, also have to prepare a set as a gift to her…
