For example, I'd love to have a backup home generator based on
mechanically simple and reliable technology like this.

And yes, a 47hp engine on its own would be inadequate for most
automobiles. But combined with hybrid technology, it would be.
Since it runs most of the time at it's optimal output speed, it would
spend most of its time charging a battery that would be called upon
when more than 47hp is required, which it little of the time.
