He Built A Power Plant On Wheels
Bob Burns from McCook, Neb., wanted a way to get power anywhere on the farm. So he built a prototype of what he calls the "Ampking" - an electric cart fitted with electrical, hydraulic and welding power. His plan is to eventually mount everything on an ATV-like machine.
"This patent-pending invention includes a 500 cc water-cooled engine that drives a high amp generator, a hydraulic pump, and a welder. It's designed to be a go-anywhere power station for performing repairs in the field or provide emergency lighting, or communications anytime, anywhere.
"It will provide all the electricity one could ever need," Burns says. "It can trek deep into rugged terrain for emergency purposes, or simply for a great trail ride. Any tool with a cord could be transported to any remote site. Whether you want to drill a few holes, or build a log cabin on top of a mountain, you can have the power you need."
Burns is looking for a manufacturer to help develop his prototype further.
