12V Emergency Generator Project

This is a little 12V generator I made for camping trips and to run radio equipment and other essentials during an emergency. It's gasoline powered and can give me a constant 10A when running the engine just above stall speed, at that rate it takes several hours to chew through a tank of gas, giving me pretty good economy of power.
