ETQ TG1200: Final Fuel Consumption Measurements/Analysis

Preliminary fuel consumption measurements for the ETQ TG1200 gasoline generator operating in the 0 to 600W range were published on 2009-12-23, along with a background of gasoline generator theory as applied to the TG1200. The interim has brought additional measurements and improved statistical analysis.  The fuel consumption [c] as a function of instantaneous power output [w] has been verified as reasonably linear [c(w)=pw+i] with idle consumption i=0.0830 gallons/hour, proportional consumpti...
