that's an awesome picture of your garage, too! it really captures the, uh, creative energy going on. :) it's particularly nice when you contrast it with the picture of the installed prototype.
Yeah, I love the 5 gal bucket hanging over the generator. That's awesome.
I would love to see Vegawatt generators out here. LA hipsters like to buy benz diesels and convert them with cheapass lovecraft SVO/WVO kits. Then they run around smoking like a chimney 'cause they don't know how to adjust valves or clean filters. So for sake of air quality and my beloved benz diesels, I'd love to see WVO get used for on site co-gen.

The HVAC geek in me has the following questions:
The air inlet on the unit appears to draw from room air. Is there an option for power exhaust and/or inlet air to be drawn from an outside source? I don't want to have to spend money on reheat/conditioning of replacement air.

I suspect necessary approvals (UL, for example) for indoor use would be rather a pain in the ass.
