Claim 14:
15. An agricultural planter system comprising:
(a) a plurality of row units;
(b) a remote hydraulic system;
(c) one or more air pressure and electrical generators comprising:
(i) a motor, in fluidic communication with the remote hydraulic system;
(ii) a fan in operative communication with the motor, wherein the fan is constructed and arranged to generate positive or negative air pressure and wherein a speed of the fan is adjustable to generate varying air pressures;
(iii) a generator in operative communication with the motor and the fan, the generator constructed and arranged to generate variable input voltage,
wherein the motor, fan, and generator rotate about a common axis, and
(iv) a voltage regulator in operative communication with the electrical generator;

(d) one or more seed meters in operative communication with the air pressure and electrical generators,
wherein the voltage regulator is constructed and arranged to generate consistent output voltage from variable input voltage from the generator, and
wherein airflow into the fan is drawn across the generator and the voltage regulator to dissipate heat.
