Patent ID: 7388299

Claim:
A power distribution and storage system for households and other buildings, said system comprising: a). a first means for supplying energy to said power distribution system for an indeterminate period of time said first means including an AC line power source configured to transmit electric power to said power distribution system and said households and other buildings, said first means further including a gas feed line configured to transmit a combustible gas to said power distribution system and said households and other buildings; b). a second means for converting said energy supplied to said power distribution system into motion; c). a generator operatively connected to said second means, said generator configured to convert said motion produced by said second means into a first electric current transmitted to a high-load circuit, wherein said first electric current is a high wattage alternating current; d). an alternator operatively connected to said second means, said alternator configured to convert said motion produced by said second means into a second electric current transmitted to at least one battery, wherein said second electric current is a direct current; and e). an inverter electrically connected to said at least one battery, said inverter configured to transform direct current from said second electric current or said at least one battery into a low-wattage alternating current which is then fed to a low-load circuit.
