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.

An engine assembly is provided that includes an engine having a crankshaft that is caused to rotate response to a firing of the engine, a backplate affixed to the engine and comprising one or more air flow passages formed therethrough, and an engine cooling fan operatively coupled to the crankshaft so as to be rotated by the crankshaft, the engine cooling fan coupled to the crankshaft on a side of the backplate opposite the engine. The engine assembly also includes a fan cover mounted over the engine cooling fan and secured to the backplate, the fan cover including an opening through which an air flow is provided to the engine cooling. The backplate and the fan cover collectively form an air guide that directs a flow of cooling air generated by the engine cooling fan through the one or more air flow passages of the backplate and to the engine.

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.

A control system for a standby generator includes a control box mountable in a standby generator enclosure, a control panel, one or more linkage mechanisms coupling the control panel to the control box such that the control panel is selectively openable to provide access into the control box, and one or more generator control components mounted in the control box and operated by the control panel.

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 standby generator having an engine with oil drain tube that facilitates removal of engine oil from the standby generator is disclosed. The standby generator includes an enclosure comprising a plurality of sidewalls, with an opening formed in one of the sidewalls, and an engine positioned within the enclosure. The engine further includes an oil drain and an oil drain tube having a first end coupled to the oil drain and a second end that opens and closes to selectively drain oil from the engine, the oil drain tube being positionable so as to extend out through the opening. The opening in the one of the sidewalls is lower than the oil drain, such that the oil drain tube is positioned with a downward angle when extending from the oil drain and out of the enclosure through the opening.

A control system for a standby generator includes a control box mounted in a standby generator enclosure with a control panel coupled to the control box that is selectively openable to provide access into the control box. One or more fasteners may be mounted to the control panel to selectively hold the control panel closed, and one or more generator control components may be mounted in the control box and operated by the control panel.

A genset enclosure includes a skid platform, a plurality of gusset members, a plurality of roof supports, and a first and second plurality of sidewall panels. The gusset members are spaced along an outer perimeter of the skid platform and are coupled to the skid platform using fasteners. The gusset members are arranged in opposed pairs positioned on opposite lateral ends of the skid platform. Each gusset member defines a first portion extending upwardly from the skid platform normal to an upper surface of the skid platform and a second portion disposed at an upper end of the first portion and extending normal to the first portion and toward a centerline of the skid platform. The gusset members support the plurality of roof supports and the first and second plurality of sidewall panels to form an enclosed volume.

An energy generator includes: an internal combustion engine; a power generator that is driven by the internal combustion engine to generate operating power; a communication interface that receives information given from working equipment; a supply interface that supplies the operating power to the working equipment; and circuitry configured to control at least one of the internal combustion engine and the power generator based on information given from the working equipment through the communication interface.

A pressure washer system comprises a cleaning fluid tank defining a cleaning fluid supply outlet, and a pump, engine and generator (PEG) unit including a pump defining a cleaning fluid pump inlet disposed vertically below the cleaning fluid supply outlet of the cleaning fluid supply tank.
