Re: (ET) inverter

[steves <ssawtelle erols com>]

I'm almost certain the electronic ones have been discussed - check the 
archives. As I recall the one mentioned was really nice, but pretty 
expensive.

... Ok, I got curious and checked- There is some discussion about a 
Trace inverter, but it appears to be 24V. anyway there's a name to 
google. Ah - here's one - Tripp-Lite was mentioned as making a 36V product.

On the motor-generator - actually I believe they are much cleaner than 
electronic inverters since they directly generate a pure sine-wave 
output. I'm not sure how efficient they are - but I think they are 
pretty decent.
