For environmental and health reasons, worldwide efforts are underway to expand electrical production from hydro, nuclear, and renewable sources and reduce fossil fuel consumption. Scientists agree that emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases from fossil fuel-based electricity generation account for a significant portion of world greenhouse gas emissions. In the US alone, electricity generation accounts for nearly 40% of emissions, the largest of any source.
Looking to reduce the impact on the environment – electrical generators were invented as a power source with low emissions.
An electrical generator is a device that generates electricity from mechanical energy, usually via electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction works by forcibly moving a loop of wire (a rotor) around a stationary bar (a stator) that provides an electric field, either through a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. This induces a current in the rotor, which can be used to power machinery or charge batteries.
The first electrical generator was invented by a Hungarian inventor and engineer sometime prior to 1830. Though the electrical generator was invented around 1830, it wouldn’t be until Nikola Tesla’s pioneering work on rotating magnetic fields around 1882 that generators would become suitable for commercial and industrial use.
Prototype Design
Simplicity and careful planning has been used in the basic design of the Electrical Generator, which is a durable system with high efficiencies that can be refined for engineering production manufacturing procedures, to suit special energy applications. This design has been given consideration to manufacturing techniques, and with minimal R&D will be a product that offers unique possibilities.
The design is a user and environmentally friendly product with exceptionally high efficiencies and excellent duration. The Electrical Generator can be manufactured to fit any required application – the design easily uses existing technology in a way that enables it to be produced at a very affordable price.
The Electrical Generator presented as a Hybrid Engine utilizing a combination of electrical, mechanical, and fluid power systems to achieve high efficiencies for many applications. the concept is basically a three-jack system.
System One
Module one is used to initialize the system with battery power (comprising two electric starter motors, two alternators, and mechanical drive assembly). The primary battery power source included the electrical circuit.
To begin rotational motion the two electric starter motors work in tandem.
One electric motor draws on the input battery power for initial start and is used to excite the two alternators. Energy from the alternators is used to supply full electric motor power.
System Two
The second electric motor is used to drive a hydraulic pump. This pump supplies power to the hydraulic motor to facilitate rotational motion.
Module Two uses the hydraulic principals in the first module to continue to supply power to Module One at full recharge, and is the mechanical final driver.
Module Two comprises of a hydraulic motor, hydraulic pump, valve, and a mechanical arrangement with two alternators. Initially the fluid motion is produced by the hydraulic pump, which rotates the hydraulic motor and is regulated with a valve. This hydraulic motor is used to excite Module Two alternators, which then allows the Module One electric motors to operate at full charge without the use of battery power.
As an innovative feature – excess charge is directed back to the stage one assembly to charge the primary input battery and other additional accessories.
System Three – Engine in Motion
System 1 and 2 work together, to power the hydraulic motion as the output drive power source which may then be coupled to each application. The combination of these modules uses a unique axial mechanical gear load dispersion system to achieve high efficiencies and performance through the electrical drive motors. This creates a semi-closed system, which may be modified to differing battery inputs (12v, 24v, 48v, etc.) allowing mobile use. Once in operation, the engine requires minimal external power input and can achieve significantly greater periods of operation without the need for recharging
Uses of the Electrical Generator – A Hybrid Engine
There are two main uses of the Electrical Generator, which can then be coupled with a range of hardware that can make the Electrical Generator useable in many industry sectors and for many industry applications – either as:
- A Hybrid Engine placed within the fixed or mobile equipment, plant or machinery and vehicles.
- A power source external to the mobile equipment, plant, or machinery.
Firstly, the Electrical Generator can be used as a Hybrid Engine to power fixed plant equipment and machinery. When the Electrical Generator is coupled to a specific application (fixed plant equipment such as pumps, generators, conveyor systems and other various types of machinery there is an approximate 50% increase in efficiency – to the extent of power stations, which may supply up to 3 megawatts of free power with a single unit design, and further continuous power when engineered to suit the application, until the machines service life.
When in series you may achieve the required power supply with zero emissions and without advanced engineering.The Electrical Generator can also be applied to mobile applications (as cars, boats, etc.) without elaborate engineering techniques. In this instance the efficiency rating exceeds most conventional engines available on the market. For example, the Hybrid Engine will allow a moving vehicle to operate at great efficiencies
Secondly, the Electrical Generator can be used as a transportable power source. Connecting the system with batteries, allows the Electrical Generator to be used as a mobile pump or mobile power generators, vehicles etc. This can be used for any application that requires a mobile power generator.This can also be used for light isolated applications or residential applications with additional power returned to the grid. When using a 12-volt battery power source. This may be improved by increasing power supply to 24, 36, 48, 60 volts etc. associated with the system reliability.
Benefits of the Electrical Generator
The benefits of the Electrical Generator (hybrid engine) when applied to fixed or mobile applications are many. But in general, the assembly allows the application to operate for extended periods of time – more so than current conventional systems without the need for regular refuelling and maintenance. The Electrical Generator allows greater profitability for the user with added benefits as follows:
- Environmentally friendly power source – zero emissions.
- Convenience (self-charging with battery replacement approximately every 18 months pending on battery type)
- Safe, effective, and proven efficiencies in operation.
- Extended performance sustainability.
- Operationally cost effective –substantial savings in ongoing cost of use.

Hybrid Engines application Sample
The hybrid engine with a 2 Kw initial drive motor will produce the hydraulic power of the approximate 26.5 Kw at an idle inclusive with motor slip and at the full acceleration speed, the approximate hydraulic power output is 75 Kw at the approximate 80% efficiency with these particular alternators used and operating at optimum performance, compare with the typical energy chart. This system may be improved in accordance with the drive motor used e.g. 4Kw, 6Kw, 12v, 24v, 48volt etc. with the system reliability.
When used for a mobile application such as a vehicle take into account the reduction of the inertia load when coupled to a gear box, ratio e.g. 1st gear being at the approximate 4:1 ratio etc. and the reduction of inertia load once in motion. An overall exceptional performance.
Power Station application Sample
When using a 1,000kilowatt generator the typical efficiency is said to be at 94% which equals 940 kilowatts. The required driver for this system is at the approximate 26.58 Kilowatts but increased to the approximate 180 kilowatts for greater reliability. The use of a hybrid engine as the initial drive uses a 9kw driver motor, which has a hydraulic power output of the approximate 200kw, the hybrid engine requires to be engineered to suit the application and for reliability, with calculations etc.to be revised and certified by – NASA – CSIRO scientists etc. only.
The fully recharging battery or battery pack starter, using the 9kw initial drive starter motor may be increased to 18kw for greater efficiency. the approximate 940 kw – 18 kw = 922 kilowatts of power supply is achieved with an exceptionally high efficiency. The power in is the energy source required, which may use batteries (battery pack) for this system to power out.
The power out for a conventional 180 kw electric motor drive is the approximate 5 times greater per unit as a standalone system or thereafter in series
The single unit design or when used in series with a conventional 180 kilowatt electric motor drive the system may produce the power of 760 kilowatts. With further engineering the power out may be increased to the approximate 2,226 kilowatts per unit. When in series for a power station to achieve the required power output for 100 units in series, the approximate 76,000 kilowatts of power supplied. Across 10 locations the extent is 760,000 kilowatts
Another great profit and beneficial business for the company or government and consumers – The cost is virtually free over a time in fuel savings alone and with zero emissions for a continuous power supply, in comparison to other power supply systems.

Industry Overview
The Electrical Generator – A Hybrid Engine has the potential to completely replace the need to use coal, oil, and gas as an energy source. Global reporting from IBIS World Pty Ltd indicates the market size and the opportunity that the Electrical Generator can benefit from.
Global Coal Mining
The major user of coal worldwide is the electricity generating industry – and therefore an important industry for the Electrical Generator to replace.
Industry Segmentation
The Global Coal Mining industry produces two types of coal: black coal and brown coal (also known as lignite). Black coal can be further broken down into thermal coal and coking coal. Coal is categorized based on its contents of carbon (i.e. energy) and moisture, which in turn determine its value.
Thermal coal (also known as steaming coal) is used to convert to electricity as a source of energy. Thermal coal generally contains less carbon than coking coal, making it unsuitable for steel making; instead, it has relatively high energy content, thus suiting it for electricity generation. Currently, over 73.8% of global coal production (by volume) consists of thermal coal. This large share has expanded over the past five years on the back of growing global consumption. According to the World Coal Association, coal was the fastest growing form of energy outside renewables in 2011 (latest data available).
Global Oil & Gas Exploration & Production
Power generation absorbs about 9.2% of all global oil and gas output – not as large as coal, but vital to the electricity generating industry.
Industry Segmentation
Companies in this industry explore for, develop, and operate oil and gas fields. This industry includes the production of crude petroleum, the mining and extraction of oil from oil shale and oil sands, the production of natural gas, sulphur recovery from natural gas and the recovery of hydrocarbon liquids. Industry segmentation is as follows:
Crude oil
Crude oil is estimated to account for 76.2% of global output by value in 2013, which is higher than in 2008 (74.3%), reflecting relatively strong growth in oil prices compared with gas prices. Different grades or streams of crude oil require different refinery configurations, produce different proportions of the most sought-after refined petroleum products (e.g. gasoline and automotive distillate) and attract different prices.
Natural gas
Natural gas is estimated to account for the remaining 23.8%. In terms of volume, the share of natural gas in industry production has been increasing for many years. This shift in volume toward gas reflects the greater availability of gas, increased gas use in stationary applications such as power generation, and greater investment in gas infrastructure such as pipelines and LNG facilities.
Electricity Generators
Electricity generators are also major users of natural gas, absorbing about 31.0% of global gas production and a small proportion of crude oil production. Overall, power generation absorbs about 9.2% of industry output. Gas has become an increasingly important fuel in global power generation as concern over pollution has grown and trading opportunities have expanded. The construction of gas supply infrastructure, such as pipelines and LNG plants, has played an important role in this process.
Global Trade
Global trade in oil and gas is high due to the uneven distribution of resources. About 57.0% of the volume of oil produced worldwide is traded internationally, while the share of gas output traded internationally is considerably lower at nearly 32.0%.
The United States is the most significant oil importer, with China, Japan and Korea rounding out the top four, according to data from the International Trade Centre. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia leads the world in oil exports and Russia small margin.
Gas
Most international trade in natural gas occurs via pipeline, although seaborne liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade is rapidly growing in importance. Reliance on pipelines limits the distances over which gas can be transported and traded economically. As a result, gas is less extensively traded than oil. Unlike traditional natural gas, LNG has the potential to be traded at the global level through storage facilities and ships that are specially designed to tolerate low temperatures.
The main gas-exporting region is Europe (41.0%), followed by Africa and the Middle East (25.0%) and North America (12.5%). Europe includes two of the world’s major gas exporters: Russia and Norway. Canada is the major gas exporter in North America, while Algeria dominates gas exports from Africa and the Middle East.
The major gas-importing region is Europe (53.5% of the total volume of imports) followed by North Asia (18.0%) and North America (13.5%). In Europe, Germany, Italy, Ukraine, France, and Russia all import substantial volumes of gas. The United States accounts for the great bulk of imports in North America (mainly from Canada and Mexico). In North Asia, the major importer of gas is Japan, followed by the Republic of Korea. China’s imports of natural gas are growing rapidly, but from a small base.
