Wlcome!

The new cost of gas should get you motivated!

I like water power, well, the idea of water power. There is not any falling water around here that could make any power.

An induction conversion could be a quick and cheap start. Search 'maytag' and 'garbogen' ('garbo-gen'?). Zubbly did a wonderful 3 part post on conversions.

I like them because they don't need a whole lot of fancy tools, and rewinding for better output is kind of "optional".
