A platform for mounting of an autonomous powering engine onto a firewood splitting apparatus includes a rigid bearing frame on which a powering engine is mounted. The engine is connected to a transmission, which is mechanically connected with a cardan coupling of a firewood splitting apparatus. The frame is arranged a distance apart from the ground and in a plane parallel to a plane defined by resting surfaces on supporting legs of a firewood splitting machine. The frame is furnished with two parallel and pivotal linear bearing beams that are pivotal around the axis that extends perpendicularly with respect to the plane of the frame and is pivotally connected with each corresponding connecting seat to establish a detachable interconnection with each disposable bottom connecting seat on a firewood splitting apparatus.

In general, techniques of this disclosure are directed to a modular generator set system. A generator set system may comprise a primary module, which may include an engine, a generator coupled to the engine, a primary frame configured to support the engine and the generator, and a first guiding element. The generator set system may also include a secondary module, a secondary frame, and a second guiding element that is reciprocal to the first guiding element such that, during installation of the secondary module, the second guiding element is configured to interface with the first guiding element to align the secondary module for purposes of automatically electrically or fluidically coupling the primary module to the secondary module upon assembling the primary frame and the secondary frame.

A turbomachinery power generation station can be too large and heavy for transportation. Thus, embodiments are disclosed for separating a full power generation station into road-ready turbine and generator trailers, as well as realigning and recoupling the trailers for operation of the power generation station at a desired destination.

The air filtration system is coupled to the enclosure at the air inlet such that air entering the enclosure through the air inlet passes through the air filtration system. The air filtration system includes a frame assembly. The frame assembly includes an outer frame and a support mesh. The outer frame is coupled to the enclosure. The air filtration system includes a door assembly. The door assembly includes a door frame and a door support mesh. The door assembly is received by and mechanically coupled to the frame assembly. The air filtration system includes filter media positioned in an interior of the air filtration system defined by the frame assembly and the door assembly.

A work machine that can discharge water collected inside a casing to the outside, reduce leakage of noise, and reduce entry of foreign matter from outside. The work machine includes a bottom portion cover forming a portion of a casing, and the bottom portion cover includes: at least two ribs and a bead (strengthening structure portions) that are formed substantially perpendicular to a bottom surface of the bottom portion cover; and a drain hole located in a connecting portion connecting the bottom surface of the bottom portion cover and a water-discharging rib among the at least two ribs. An upper portion of the water-discharging rib is located over the drain hole.

An example hybrid power system includes a mobile platform comprising: a generator set comprising: a reciprocating engine configured to convert natural gas into rotational mechanical energy; and a generator configured to convert rotational mechanical energy sourced from the reciprocating engine into electrical energy; an electrical energy storage system (ESS) configured to store electrical energy; an electrical motor configured to convert electrical energy sourced from a combination of the generator set and the ESS into rotational mechanical energy; and a pump configured to operate using rotational mechanical energy sourced from the electrical motor.

A sound-attenuated power generation system includes an enclosure. The enclosure includes a floor, side walls, end walls, and a roof. The system includes sound damping foam panels mechanically coupled to the interior of at least one of the floor, side walls, end walls, and roof. The enclosure has an intake vent formed in the side wall; an exhaust vent formed in the side wall; and a generator positioned within the enclosure, the generator including an engine.

A frameless cooling module includes a first and a second shroud panel arranged at opposing sides of the module and extending from the front of the module to the back of the module. At least one L-shaped stiffener bracket extends between the panels at an intermediate location along both the height direction and the depth direction of the module. One or more heat exchangers is arranged within the cooling module between the L-shaped stiffener bracket and the front of the module, and is at least partially secured within the cooling module by being mounted to the L-shaped stiffener bracket.

An assist apparatus for an electric vehicle which is powered by rechargeable batteries. To assist in the range of the electric vehicle, a platform is secured or towed by the vehicle. On the platform is a hydrocarbon internal combustion engine/motor that generates electricity. The hydrocarbon engine/motor is activated, either manually, via a handheld switch, or automatically by sensors in the electric vehicle, to charge the rechargeable batteries within the electric vehicle.
