The Melvin Package
The Melvin Package combines: -The base engine (400W - 1,500Watts output) -The firebox (propane and wood interface included), -The water jacket (water cooling / heating) and -The generator head (up to 1,500 watts - 12 or 24 V). Everything you need to power up. Introducing the Melvin. The heart of becoming energy self-reliant. The Melvin Engine runs off of heat. The Melvin is a "Universal Generator" (tm), you can use any form of heat to generate electricity. Heat created by wood, propane, natural gas, solar, and bio fuel. The engine converts the heat energy to rotary motion that turns a generator to generate electricity. As some of us like to say - "put the wood in one end and electricity comes out the other". The engine is designed to operate with a temperature difference of about 600 degrees F. The output of the engine is targeted at 1.5 KW at maximum pressure and temperature. Outputs exceeding 400 W can be obtained using lower temperatures without any pressurization of the
