The upper compartment and the lower compartment are vertically arranged. The intake duct is integrated with the lower compartment and includes an upper pathway duct and a lower pathway duct. The upper pathway duct provides a path of air to at least an intake of the engine and the lower pathway ducts provides a path of air to at least cool the alternator.
Abstract:
An electronic ignition system for a portable gasoline tool includes a voltage boosting device, a spark plug connected with an output of the voltage boosting device, a DC power source, and a controller electrically connected with the DC power source and connected with the voltage boosting device. The controller controls an ignition voltage and an ignition advance angle. A related portable gasoline tool includes a body, a cylinder located in the body, a piston movable to and fro within the cylinder, a crankshaft co-moved with the piston, and a flywheel located on the body and driven by the crankshaft to rotate.
Abstract:
A reformer-liquid fuel manufacturing system that utilizes an engine to generate hydrogen-rich gas is disclosed. The engine operates at very rich conditions, such as 2.5
Abstract:
A ventilation structure of an engine compartment that houses an engine and is adjacent to a cooling fan that supplies cooling air to a heat exchanger in a form of a radiator is provided. A ventilation structure of the engine compartment includes: an exterior cover with which the engine and the cooling fan are covered; and a ventilation duct that includes an inner surface of the exterior cover, in which a first end of the ventilation duct is open in the engine compartment while a second end of the ventilation duct intercommunicates with a surrounding area of the cooling fan.
Abstract:
A method of operating a drive-train of a hybrid vehicle which comprises at least a hybrid drive with an internal combustion engine and an electric machine, an automatic or automated change-speed transmission connected between the hybrid drive and a drive output, and a clutch connected between the internal combustion engine and the electric machine. When starting the internal combustion engine from a purely electric driving mode, the clutch is initially disengaged. To start the internal combustion engine, the clutch is at least partially engaged and the internal combustion engine is drag-started by the electric machine, and, in parallel with starting the internal combustion engine, a downshift in the transmission is initiated once a rotational speed of the internal combustion engine reaches or exceeds an applicable threshold value.
Abstract:
A position regulating apparatus has a generator body made of an engine and a generator driven by the engine, and a frame surrounding the periphery of the generator body. The frame is provided with a bump stopper as a rod member. The bump stopper is attached to a housing of the engine and disposed horizontally. The bump stopper regulates the position in the horizontal direction of the generator body within a preset range. Receiving plates disposed so as to face both end faces of the stopper body are provided. The round bar as the body of the bump stopper has a crank shape which reduces an impact by generating bending moment.
Abstract:
Some embodiments relate to a generator that includes an alternator and an engine. The engine includes an output shaft that is coupled to a rotor of the alternator. The generator further includes a first fan that initially directs air in a first direction which is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the output shaft. A second fan that directs air in a second direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the output shaft. The generator further includes an enclosure such that the alternator, the engine, the first fan and the second fan are within the enclosure. In some embodiments, the generator may further include a third fan that directs air in the direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the output shaft and a fourth fan that directs air in a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the output shaft.
