    Okay, now...

    ... at 90F or 32C, which is a cold day here in Thailand, the
    (admittedly costly) Sunfrost F4 uses 10 amp hours of 12v a day, or so
    they say.

    My understanding is that on average, the Aero4gen produces 300 amp
    hours of 12v a week, or so they say.

    According to the manufacturers, I could lose the engine and have
    plenty of power from a smallish wind gen to run the small (admittedly
    costly) Sunfrost F4. My solar panel would be a bonus.

    Surely I'm missing something.
