An energy generating system for generating thermal energy and electrical energy for a premises. The system includes an engine that drives an AC power generator to supply supplemental or standby power to the premises. The thermal energy given off by the engine is also coupled to the premises to provide heat thereto. A processor controls the various parameters of both the energy generating system and the premises to coordinate the proper heating and cooling thereof.

An adaptor is disclosed for connecting a generator to a prime mover. The adaptor (30) comprises a first flange member (32) for connection to the prime mover, a second flange member (34) for connection to the generator, and a plurality of angled cross members (36, 38) between the first and second flange members. By providing a plurality of angled cross members between the first and second members, the adaptor may use less material for a given stiffness.

A generator structure includes a lower compartment, an upper compartment, and an intake duct. The lower compartment is configured to support and house at least an alternator and an engine. The upper compartment configured to support and house and at least one cooling device configured to cool the lower compartment. The upper compartment and the lower compartment are vertically arranged. The intake duct is integrated with the lower compartment and includes an upper pathway duct and a lower pathway duct. The upper pathway duct provides a path of air to at least an intake of the engine and the lower pathway ducts provides a path of air to at least cool the alternator.

Low form factor mobile electrostatic spray units and methods of using same are disclosed.

This present invention relates to the field of carburetor, in particular, relates to a fuel enrichment simple starting device and method of carburetor, using pre-injection technology to achieve engine fuel enrichment start, That is, in the first step squeeze the purge bulb, pre-inject the quantitative fuel, and then use the choke of the large volume air to achieve simple start, steps: the first step, squeeze the purge bulb; the second step, close the choke; the third step, pull the engine starter to the engine running; the fourth step, increase and decrease the throttle to normal running. If using the fuel enrichment simple starting device and method of carburetor in the present invention, the engine can be started completely by above four steps, the starting device has the advantages of simple operation, less starting times and easy to start at low temperature (such as 0 C.).

A compound cycle engine having at least one rotary unit defining an internal combustion engine, a first stage turbine in proximity of each unit, and a turbocharger is discussed. The exhaust port of each rotary unit is in fluid communication with the flowpath of the first stage turbine upstream of its rotor. The rotors of the first stage turbine and of each rotary unit drive a common load. The outlet of the compressor of the turbocharger is in fluid communication with the inlet port of each rotary unit, and the inlet of the second stage turbine of the turbocharger is in fluid communication with the flowpath of the first stage turbine downstream of its rotor. The first stage turbine has a lower reaction ratio than that of the second stage turbine. A method of compounding at least one rotary engine is also discussed.
