useful. Low RPM hp
also equates to more torque. Torque gets things done, HP makes noise and
burns gas.

I am not so sure that I agree with you all.
I can drive my old 300D and it does reasonably well, but there are times
when it could use a bit more. For example, pulling onto the highway from
a dead stop with a 90 degree turn and uphill for the next half mile or
so. I have to be careful not to

I'm pretty amused by the reviews of the new Toyota/Subaru joint-venture RWD

I don't know. Perhaps the 10% is due to better atomization at that
hotter temperature, resulting in a better burn. Gelling doesn't
happen anywhere near the mentioned 25-40 degC

That's what I have heard as a good rule of thumb, too.

There you go. It's called cogeneration, and exactly the setup you
describe is how you do it. Folks off the grid, mostly in other
countries, have been doing this for a long time.

So why is Jim only using the 1/3 mechanical energy to heat his house?
He could put the radiator in the basement and capture another 3rd,
maybe combine it with a water cooled exhaust.
A variety of reasons that add up to 'don't do this', in my case.
1) I want the big noisy generator away from
the
radiator into a plenum and blowing air over it to heat the house.
