Perhaps not, but it'll recharge my lappy, cell, and LaCrosse (2a/3a) charger til the cows come home or it runs outta gas, whichever comes first   ;-)

The goal being to maintain operability of flashlights and a couple low-power boredom fighting 'niceties' for a week or so til the grid (hopefully) comes back up.
Have water-heat-food covered for a couple weeks, with more to be added asap as $s permit.

Actually, this thread prompted me to check out YouTube for some ideas, given that there's a 6hp mower w/ Briggs engine sitting unused in the shed.

Got some good ideas for homebrew gensets that I just might have a go at .. so thanks Virgil for the thread !
