Back in Denmark, working on Athena. (Patreon)

Hi guys

I'm back! Back in Denmark. Ava and I decided that it would be best if I went back to Denmark. Not an easy decision. I'm still not sure it was the right decision. If anything happens, there is no way for me to get to Ava and vice versa. I go into a little bit more detail in the video. 

Because I only just got back a few days ago, this video is a little light in content, but while this video was uploading, I started figuring out the alternator mount for the generator. I've ordered some engine mounts. The plan is to get the alternator mounted to the engine next week and put the spurs to the Perkins 402 to figure out precisely what rpm I want to run it at (somewhere in the 2600-3000 rpm range). I'll need to figure that out, so I figure out the gearing and order the belts I need. I'm very excited about this project. I should end up with a 9 kW 230V generator for a whole lot less than an off the shelf version (something like $2500 vs. $10000). Lot's of exciting challenges! Like, for instance, is the governor accurate enough to give me the 3000 RPM I need at the alternator to get 50 Hz? Or will I have to build a DIY controller? We'll find out together ;) 

I hope all of you are well and that you're staying safe and as always thank you so much for your support :)
