Abstract:
1. A power equipment apparatus comprising: an internal combustion engine; a generator having a rotor and a coil assembly, the rotor being rotationally movable with respect to the coil assembly, the rotor and the coil assembly being integrated with the internal combustion engine such that the rotational movement of the rotor provides inertia for facilitating ongoing operation of the internal combustion engine, wherein the generator is configured to generate electrical power; interface circuitry comprising an inverter, the inverter being coupled with the generator and being configured to receive at least some of the electrical power from the generator, the inverter being further configured to dispense conditioned electrical power; an electronic speed regulation system coupled with the interface circuitry and with the internal combustion engine, the electronic speed regulation system being configured to automatically adjust the speed of the internal combustion engine; and a receptacle electrically coupled with the interface circuitry and configured to receive and to provide an operator with access to the conditioned electrical power.
