Revision as of 20:11, 30 July 2022
Selection
OSE's 2020 choice for an engine is the Poulan 19 hp x4 for 74 hp - [1]
Gas
The threshold for relatively inexpensive engines is 19 hp.
- 27 hp - $980 - $36/hp - [2]. And needs muffler.
 - 24 hp - $870 - $36/hp [3]
 - 22 hp - Briggs - $29/hp - [4]
 - 20 hp - Kohler $700 - $35/hp + muffler - [5]
 - 19 hp Poulan - - $20.5/hp - $390 - [6]
 - 16 hp - $350 - Poulan - [7]. No gas pump, gravity feed gas. But, doesn't come with muffler.
 - 16hp - $330 - Duromax, $20.6/hp - [8]
 - 7 hp - $99 - $14/hp - but no electric start - [9]
 - 18hp Duromax $18/hp - has muffler, but not charging - such as for a fan - [10]
 
Diesel
- 30 hp Kubota $5000 - $166/hp [11]
 - 33 hp Kubota - $6500 [12]
 - 65 HP - $6300 - $100/hp [13]
 - 200 hp - $55/HP - $11k - Cummins - [14]
 - 360 HP Mack used - $10/HP - $3600
 
Considerations
- Until an open source engine becomes a reality, engine repair is expensive. $50/hr, easily comes to the new engine price for the $300 gas engine. This indicates that small engines are essentially disposable goods.
 - For the large diesel engine, parts are expensive.
 - Until the advent of the open source diesel engine, engine costs remain 10x as high as they should be.
 - Until the OS engine, disposable engines are a suboptimal but acceptable strategy to keep costs of engine systems low.
 - It is an immediate priority of OSE to develop open source small engines, $11B market (see Market Size) and larger ones are more like 200 billion
 
Engine Links
- 500 &U 1000 hour lifetime for small engines - [15]
 - 2000-4000 year life of car engines [16] - 150k miles
 - Tractor engines - 5-10k hours [17]
 - Pellet-fired stirling engine buggy - see PDF file
 - Several links to various engine types including Sterling, Wankel, Steam, etc. [18].
