re: you want a slow turning generator under 1800 rpm
most 60 cycle diesel gensets turn at 1800 rpm to make 60 cycle alternating current
50 cycle units turn slower
some diesels ( like mace the italian manufacturer) will turn at 2x 3600 rpm to make 60 cycles
it has to do with the windings - and physics
