August 26, 20178 yr Well, tractors anyhow, and other stationary and/or portable engines. Chemical (batteries), solar. Mechanical means to magnify other sources? Nuclear, fire/heat. Cal
August 26, 20178 yr If you've ever been to Amish country - pneumatic - line-shaft - diesel generator And Colonial Williamsburg - apprentice Woodmiser - gasoline engine
August 27, 20178 yr I saw a picture once of an RAS powered by an air motor, owned by an Amish craftsman. The compressor was a gas powered one that sat outside the shop. The the guys who built my shop building last year were,using a gas powered miter saw. I had heard of such things but never saw one until now. I had always heard they used chain saw engines for them, but this guy used one off a string trimmer. Edited August 27, 20178 yr by Fred W. Hargis Jr
