A human power conversion system incorporates two or more electric machines to aid in the powering of a vehicle through energy conversion. A first electric machine is coupled with the human powered input and acts as a generator when a human power input is not sufficient to produce electrical power that is provided to a second electric machine that propels the vehicle. The vehicle may be a bicycle and the first electric machine may be coupled to the crank. A bi-coupled electric machine including the first and second electric machines with a common rotor or stator may be employed and coupled to the crank and/or the driven wheel. Power produced by the first electric machine may be provided directly to the second machine or may be stored in a battery and used to propel the vehicle or power other electronic components.

A hybrid module housing includes a bulkhead. The bulkhead has a first radial channel for providing a clutch apply pressure, a second radial channel for providing a clutch cooling flow, and a third radial channel for providing a motor cooling flow. In an example embodiment, the third radial channel is arranged to be on a bottom half of the hybrid module housing when the hybrid module housing is installed in a vehicle. In an example embodiment, the first radial channel and the second radial channel are open at a radially outer surface of the bulkhead, and the third radial channel is sealed at the radially outer surface of the bulkhead. In an example embodiment, the third radial channel includes an axial passage open at a radial wall of the bulkhead.

Systems are disclosed for power systems and enclosures having an improved compressor drive. In examples, a power system includes a generator to be driven by an engine. The generator is coupled to the engine on a first side of the generator and has a clutch extending from a second side of the generator opposite the engine. The clutch is coupled to the engine. A compressor is positioned at the second side of the generator opposite from the engine. The compressor comprising a shaft extending toward the generator and configured to be driven by the clutch.

The electric motor with a reverse input cutoff clutch has an output shaft. The output shaft is configured by connecting a first shaft and a second shaft that are coaxially arranged with each other via the reverse input cutoff clutch. The second shaft is rotatably supported to a housing by one radial bearing. The reverse input cutoff clutch has a function that, when rotational torque is inputted to the first shaft, transmits the rotational torque inputted to the first shaft to the second shaft, and when rotational torque is reversely inputted to the second shaft, completely cuts off the rotational torque reversely inputted to the second shaft, and does not transmit the rotational torque to the first shaft, or transmits a part of the rotational torque to the first shaft, and cuts off the remaining part.
