The electric fan you'll need to run to keep the engine cool will eat up a
lot of your profit.

Not a half bad idea, until you do the math. At 180 HP at the prop

you're
talking 134 kilowatts of power. That's probably _only_ 120 kilowatts if

the
generator is 90% efficient. (Actually, I hope it is better than that,

because
the leftover watts go into heating the generator!) It seems to me that

a
generator capable of handling that size power conversion would be

expensive to
rent...


Split the profit with the generator owner. If you cook the books right,
there won't be any money left over for him - you know, like Hollywood
studios do when they make a percentage deal with a star.

Talking about fans reminded me of this bit of humor.


BLONDE PILOT

Now this is right up there as far as blond jokes go.

A blonde pilot decided she wanted to learn how to fly a helicopter.
She went to the airport, but the only one available was a
solo-helicopter. The instructor figured he could let her go up alone
since she was already a pilot for small planes and he could instruct
her via radio.

So up the blonde went. She reached 1,000 feet and everything was going
smoothly. She reached 2,000 feet. The blonde and the instructor kept
talking via radio. Everything was going smoothly.

At 3,000 feet the helicopter suddenly came down! It skimmed the top of
some trees and crash landed in the woods. The instructor jumped into
his jeep and rushed out to see if the blonde was okay. As he reached
the edge of the woods, the blonde was walking out. "What happened?"
the instructor asked. "All was going so well until you reached 3,000
feet. What happened then?"

"Well," began the blonde, "I got cold. So I turned off the ceiling
fan."
