Abstract:
1. A multi-functional power source for producing an external mechanical power, comprising: a generator, which is adapted for outputting induced electric power, comprising: a generator housing defining a receiving chamber; a rotor comprising a magnetic element coaxially and rotatably disposed within said receiving chamber and defining a magnetic cavity within said magnetic element, and a stator comprising a coil assembly coaxially disposed within said magnetic cavity; and an engine arrangement, comprising: an engine casing; an internal combustion engine disposed in said engine casing: an elongated crankshaft having an driven portion extended from said internal combustion engine and a driving portion extended out of said engine casing to couple with said rotor in such a manner that, when said internal combustion engine produces a mechanical power to drive said rotor to rotate through said crankshaft, said magnetic element is coaxially rotated to induce with said coil assembly for producing said induced electric power; and an output axle, having an output end, integrally extended from said crankshaft to a position out of said generator housing such that when said crankshaft drives said output axle to rotate, said output end of said output axle is adapted for producing said external mechanical power even when said generator is producing said induced electric power, wherein said rotor further comprises a tubular sleeve rotatable disposed in said receiving chamber, a flywheel coaxially and rotatable mounted to an inner circumferential sidewall of said tubular sleeve, and a flywheel starting gear securely engaged with said flywheel to coaxially couple with said driving portion of the crankshaft wherein said magnetic element is coaxially attached to said inner circumferential sidewall of said tubular sleeve in such a manner that when said flywheel starting gear is driven to rotate via said crankshaft, said flywheel is driven to rotate to drive said magnetic element to rotate via said tubular sleeve so as to induce said magnetic element with said coil assembly for producing said induced electric power.
