Model A home generator ?

[Barry B./ Ma.]

Has anyone made a home generator powered by a Model A engine? I know it would run a lot quieter than the generators on my block that have been running for four days. I have a run-in test stand and it just seems to me that it would be a good approach to solve our energy outage problems. I understand the rpm would have to be 3600 for the right output and that could be accomplished with a step-up gear box and I would think it would be a lot quieter in the neighborhood with a good Model A muffler. Just thinking down the road as I feel these power outages are only going to get worse and I can't stand the present racket with all these small generators running.
