Does the engine in this genset look like a Mazda converted to diesel? Zoom in on the 4th picture.

Mazdas used 2 rotors, that is a single rotor engine.

It’s a single rotor, looks like a copy of 1/2 a 12a or 13b. I’d be interested to see how they manage fuel and compression to run diesel.

It's a SACHS rotary Engine.

Like a KM48.

I damn near bough one a month ago for a pit bike, but the money tree ran low.

Edit: They are foreign. Common in Germany. BUT I think they may have come in SnowCat snow mobiles in the 70's .

Now this packaged under the hood of a ford lightning is something I could get behind.

240g/kwh. Lightning gets 2 miles to the kWh 120grams of diesel per mile

3220/120 = 27 mpg running off diesel in theory

I still believe a plug in diesel hybrid like this would be the optimal design for where we technologically are at this point in time. You could get the range needed the short recharge time take advantage of regerative braking. You can have a really small engine as the batteries will store and produce for the few times you need the max power.
