Yes there will be a clutch to disconnect the drive, the clutch is no big deal we are only dealing with 300Hp here. There are tons of diesel generators out there much bigger than that out there!
Why no transmission or stock off the shelf generator head? To get 1800 RPM that's an 18 to 1 ratio...
What seems like a simple fix turns out not to be so simple.
Question, I have an old mill with a waterwheel.
The shaft turns at 100 RPM. We figure based on what was there a minimum 300HP so 300 x 746 watts per HP, this has the potential to generate 223.8 Kw’s of electricity.
