At the moment, the Geshwender drive (which is back in production despite Mr G's
death) looks like the most reliable scheme for much more than 100 horsepower,
any may still be the best value in the long run.


I agree, but add that this psru was originally designed for high
output engines, engines that start with around 400 horsepower.

For those interested, the reason Fred designed the psru in the first
place was to provide a less expensive engine alternative for crop
dusters. The engine he used was a Ford big block V8. I think that
smaller psru's may be available now but I haven't checked for a while.

When I called him to talk about his psru a year before he died, he
talked me out of using it because it was overkill to use that psru on
an engine putting out only 190 or so hp.
