[Vwdiesel] Injector Pump Speed Stability & Genset Use

[maded]

I thought it was possible to select a belt or cogged belt for most any
application that would run for thousands of hours.  I am sure the sales
people at Gates would claim such anyway.  Probably not a cheap solution
though.  So you can use an induction motor as a generator?  Like an
alternator?  How do you "excite" it or is it "self exciting" :-)
