Volkswagen stationary engines
What stationary engines were built?
I know there were compressors made from type 1 engines where two pistons drove and two pistons pumped.
What else?
Generators? Fire pumps?

I have a 40hp motor hooked to a Ziegler water pump- you often see them in the back of Split Kombi Fire Trucks. They have handles each side so 2 people
can move them around so they can be hooked up to a hydrant.They have a control panel and fuel tank mounted to the fan housing.

I've seen a 1500 SP used as an industrial blower fan. Motor was fan belt coupled to a huge 4ft 3-bladed prop, that blew into a big plenum airshaft to
supply air inside a factory, it must have had about 50 individual 4" air outlets over the heads of workers on the line, all from this big central air
plenum.
Made a hell of a noise!

Has anyone got a picture of a stand alone unit with the water pump. Does it have a cover or lid over the engine?

Army had generators with VW engines. From memory they were 1600 SP with a magneto. Were in service well into the 90's. They were in a self contained
cradle with the generator and fuel tank. Painted "Olive Drab"' of course.

The south Australian railways used them for running the cool rooms on trains too.

I have a 1600sp that was used by a council as a welder and cold saw. It was set up on a purpose built trailer.
