Hi Jake, "One day in math class" Well then here's some numbers to work with; 1hp = 746w A alternator has pumping losses so figure 85% efficiency. Makes maximum wattage at 2000rpm for automobil types. A typical alternator output is rated at 13.6v@130amps. A voltage regualtor for deep cycle battery's is 95% efficient. V-belts are 93% efficient Invertors are typicaly 90% efficient. Maximum battery drain is 75% of max rated amperage for a lead acid deep cycle battery's. Absolute discharge is 50%. Typical T-105 6v golf cart battery's are 105amp/hr rated at 20a/hr discharge rate. From the above numbers, Now tell me how many watts your invertor will output and for how long ? T_Bone
