(ET) Re: rotary inverter

[Dan Conine <dconine dotnet com>]

A rotary inverter (in this case) is a 36VDC motor which is run by the 
tractor. The motor is directly coupled to a 110VAC generator.

You get perfect sinusoidal power, vs. the psuedo-simulated(modified sine 
wave) power from a solid-state inverter.  Simple, relatively easy to 
repair if you are living with a soldering iron and a roll of magnet 
wire, and  civilization is gone.
Disadvantage: brushes, bearings, armatures wear out.
