Off the Grid power-alternative to wind or solar power

I have built a "off the Grid" home generator using a 1950's Coventry Victor one cylinder diesel generator, I can run this on diesel or a diesel and used cooking oil mixture and have it attached to a large battery via a 40amp car alternator which supplies my garden lighting and via an inverter for 600 watts of home power and lighting. The waste heat is used to keep my garage warm as well. All parts recycled from EBay or kind donations of "junk"

Thank you so much RON! You have shared awesome video with us. Your videos I have seen o far found always informative. Keep on sharing such a wonderful information in future. I learn a lot of very valuable information from you. There are many things that you can do at home that can improve your energy efficiency. Wind power and solar power is good option for it.

this is brilliant.... I would like to learn more, you could get seriously funded or sell your idea to diesel generator manufacturers.

Hi i just bought a Victor coventry off ebay. I am wondering if it is the same model as that(it kinda looks the same from the photoes). The model of mine is AD1 787.

I cant seem to find any info about it anywhere on the net.
