Hey David.

I see a DC motor in the pic, not AC.
Was there another pic that you meant to copy?

I was just working on a 1hp ac motor the other day, and also a 1.5hp motor. They draw 12 amps and 15 amps respectively.
Pretty heavy current draw for only 1 horse of power. Not sure how hp compares to pounds of thrust, or if it woud be practical for a small genny. Then there is the issue of speed control. hmmm
