2. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   Electric generator. U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). In electricity generation, a generator[1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas ...

3. Engine-generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine-generator

   Engine-generator. Cart-mounted engine–generator being used at a construction site. An engine–generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of equipment. This combination is also called an engine–generator set or a gen-set. In many contexts, the engine is taken ...

4. Hybrid vehicle drivetrain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_vehicle_drivetrain

   NRG Dynamix of the U.S.A. claimed its approach reduced cost by one-third compared with electric hybrids and added only 300 lbs (136 kg) to vehicle weight vs. 1,000 lbs (454 kg) for electric hybrids. The company claimed a standard pickup vehicle powered by a 2.3-litre, 4-cylinder engine achieved 14 mpg (16.8 L/100 km) in city driving.

5. Power-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio

   Power-to-weight ratio is a measurement of actual performance of any engine or power source. It is also used as a measurement of performance of a vehicle as a whole, with the engine's power output being divided by the weight (or mass) of the vehicle, to give a metric that is independent of the vehicle's size. Power-to-weight is often quoted by ...

6. Micro combined heat and power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_combined_heat_and_power

   Micro combined heat and power, micro-CHP, μCHP or mCHP is an extension of the idea of cogeneration to the single/multi family home or small office building in the range of up to 50 kW. [1] Usual technologies for the production of heat and power in one common process are e.g. internal combustion engines, micro gas turbines, stirling engines or ...

7. Stirling engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine

   A modern Stirling engine and generator set with 55 kW electrical output, for combined heat and power applications. At high temperatures and pressures, the oxygen in air-pressurized crankcases, or in the working gas of hot air engines, can combine with the engine's lubricating oil and explode. At least one person has died in such an explosion. [73]
