    Abstract: Disclosed power systems include an engine configured to output mechanical power via a shaft and a generator coupled to the shaft. The generator includes a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. The rotor assembly includes a rotor winding, a rotor core coupled to the shaft and mechanically supporting the rotor windings with respect to the shaft, an insulating shell between the rotor core and the rotor winding, and a plurality of fan blades extending from an axial end face of the rotor core. The fan blades are configured to generate an airflow proximate the rotor assembly while the rotor assembly is being rotated by the shaft.

    Abstract: Described is a generator for an engine-driven power system. The generator having a generator shaft, a sleeve coupler, a first pulley, and a second pulley. The generator shaft, which is shaped at an end to define a first tapered surface, rotates a rotor relative to a stator. The sleeve coupler is shaped to define a bore with a second tapered surface. The bore receives the end of the generator shaft. The first pulley has a center hole to receive the sleeve coupler. The second pulley shares an axis of rotation with the first pulley and transfers a rotational force to the generator shaft and to the sleeve coupler.

    Abstract: Power systems and enclosures having a configurable cooling air flow are disclosed. The power system includes an enclosure; an air inlet location, a first air outlet location, a second air outlet location, a fan assembly, and one or more relocatable covers to obstruct the first and second air outlet locations. The air inlet location may be at a first location on an exterior of the enclosure to permit intake of air from the exterior of the enclosure to an interior of the enclosure. The first air outlet location may be at a second location on the exterior of the enclosure to expel air taken in through the air inlet location, while the second air outlet location at a third location on the exterior of the enclosure to expel air taken in through the air inlet location.

    Abstract: Described is a power system having an engine, a generator, a belt-driven component, a first pulley, a second pulley, a third pulley, and a fourth pulley. The engine outputs a rotational force at a first rotational speed to rotate the first pulley. The generator converts mechanical power driving the generator shaft to electric power. The second pulley is drivingly coupled to the first pulley via a first belt and configured to rotate the generator shaft at a second rotational speed based on the first rotational speed. The fourth pulley coupled to the generator shaft having a first diameter that is greater than a second diameter of the second pulley. The fourth pulley configured to drive the third pulley at a third rotational speed to drive the belt-driven component

    Abstract: Disclosed power systems include an enclosure, an engine within the enclosure, a generator within the enclosure and configured to convert mechanical power from the engine to electrical power, an exhaust system, and one or more of, within the enclosure, welding-type conversion circuitry, an air compressor, a hydraulic pump, or auxiliary power conversion circuitry configured to convert the electrical power from the generator to at least one of AC output power or DC output power. The enclosure defines a rear surface when installed in a predetermined orientation. The exhaust system includes a muffler and a tail pipe, where an exhaust end of the tail pipe is at or near the rear surface of the enclosure.
