Abstract: A portable generator housing is operable to house a generator. An enclosure of the portable generator housing includes a bottom, a top, and a movable side. The movable side may be removably connected with the top. The movable side is configured to move between a first position where a top edge of the movable side is adjacent to the top and a second position where the top edge of the movable side is in communication with a ground adjacent to the bottom.

Abstract: A generator system may include a compressor and an electric motor. The compressor includes an impeller, and the compressor provides a quantity of air flowing toward an intake of an engine through rotation of the impeller. The electric motor is mechanically linked to the compressor and rotates the impeller to force the quantity of air flowing toward the intake of the engine. The generator system may include a charge air cooler to receive the quantity of air flowing toward the intake of the engine and increase an air charge density of the quantity of air. The generator system may include an exhaust portion to expel exhaust from the engine such that the quantity of air provided by the compressor does not include exhaust expelled by the exhaust portion. The generator system may include an air valve configured to regulate the quantity of air flowing toward the intake of the engine.
