Turbomotor,
I have seen the OPOC (and tried to buy one), but they wouldn't sell it to me. If you can hook me up with one of Dr. Peter Hofbauer OPOC engines I would be more than happy to cut a check.
Thanks
I was actually a big fan of the Robin engine (the DY35 was my top choice until I worked in all my power consumption and realized I needed more power).
as for the lightweight/high power/long life comment ... you forgot one ... fuel efficiency. I'm just fishing to see if someone has some magic...
Thanks for the input so far:
-The Engines/generators from Westerbeke look great but weigh about twice what I need. ( will keep them in mind for other projects)
-Thanks for the link, from what I've looked at the engines from Centurion and Deltahawk, are much larger than I need

I am doing a trade study for small (~10kW) Diesel Engines; here are a list of the companies I have looked at:
Hatz
Lombardini
Izuzu
Kohler
Yanmar
Briggs and Stratton
Wisconsin Motors
Zenith
Caterpillar
Subaru
Cummins
Kubota
Perkins
There are also some non standard UAV engines that I’ve looked...

don't use ice, frozen beer works great(efficient as well)
Take one ice chest for each day
Put frozen beer and food into chest and duct tape all seams
As long as no one takes a peep inside, and the cooler stays in the shade you can enjoy a cold beer and sitting in your lawn chair...
