I have seen many threads about hybrids, and have yet to see any real discussion about the generator part. Are there any lightweight generator heads available today off the shelf? All the gen sets I am aware of are pretty heavy with the exception of very small portable high rpm "inverter" series generators. I have no info at hand, but figured someone should pose the question, since total power plant weight is always a critical issue.

*I'm not really for or against hybrids, I think the idea is neat for certain aplications but fail to see how it could be made light enough to be truly useful. Anyone care to enlighten me/us? (No pun intended, but I'll take it...)
