Grubstake, as I noted on another board about the V
Post# of 3601
Sorry folks... The V16 generator (1 megawatt) being discussed is NOT the 6 cylinder orange natural gas CSRV unit that George Coates built. That size conversion would be a massive undertaking and be 20 hours a day, 6 days a week for nearly a year to get the patterns, machining and electrical sorted out just for a test run!!!
Wall Township, NJ – (Marketwired – August 17, 2016) Coates International, Ltd. (OTC PINK: COTE) (the “Company”) business plan calls for manufacturing operations in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Some of the larger CSRV industrial natural gas generator units to be produced will be rated for 1,000 KW = 1 M.W. and 2,000 KW = 2 M.W. and are expected to weigh 16 to 20 tons each."
The V16 is between 5 to 10 times more powerful than the 6 cylinder CSRV and probably weighs 5 times the 6 cylinder natural gas CSRV unit. Also, I doubt that the V16 has a valve train any more significant than any other poppet valve diesel.
If the CSRV 6 cylinder were for sale with a 150 kw generator attached it would be about $50k to $70k if mounted to a Cummins type bottom end.
Barry Kaye's move is quite thought provoking.... HHhhhmmmm.
There is nothing preventing GC from putting a CSRV head on one of his Cummins bottom ends and selling just the engine off Ebay. I am sure it would get snapped up very quickly. Damn, I might just buy one. Maybe better to buy the stock now though.
