<div dir="ltr">Has anyone investigated the feasibility of using a diesel powered welding machine as the power plant in a sub? With onboard engine, generator, rectification, and voltage regulation putting out high current power at ~30V DC they seem like a rather self-contained way of surface recharging an electric thruster propelled subs 24V battery bank.

HI Bian,Hey if you can build a sub, you can put a couple of alternators on a diesel engine. ?You can buy real nice little Kubota engines on Ebay and bolt on new alternators off the shelf. ?From time to time there are vertical shaft Kubota engines on Ebay that nobody wants because the shaft is vertical. ?They are brand new and cheap! ?An alternator does not care if it runs on its side.Hank<br>
