Abstract
Abstract A complete system for installation within a house, and which heats the house in winter, cools it in summer, provides a hot and cold water supply throughout the year and all its electrical appliances; the system in one design includes a gasoline engine connected to an electrical generator, the cooling system of the engine and the exhaust gases from the engine delivering heat to heaters in an air duct and in a water boiler; and the generator developing electrical energy to a heating coil in the air duct, supplies energy to a cooling system connected to a cooling unit inside the air duct and a cooler located along the cold water supply of the house, and also is connected to the house electrical wiring so to provide electric power thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A system for providing heat and electricity for a building, comprising an internal combustion engine driving the input shaft of an electric generator, wherein said exhaust manifold of said engine is in communication with the intake of a heat exchanger, including heat exchanging tubes mounted in said heat exchanger, in further combination with water supply means in fluis communication with said exchanger, further including an exhaust gas outlet from said heat exchanger in communication with a second heat exchanger separate from said first heat exchanger, said second heat exchanger being in communication with heating means for the building whereby heat from the exhaust gases is transferred to the heating means for the building via the second said heat exchanger in further combination with ducts from the engine cooling system in communication with said second heat exchanger whereby additional heat generated by the engine is transferred to the second said heat exchanger thereby augmenting the heat transferred to the said means for heating the buildings further including electric coils heating the exhaust gas between the said first and second said heat exchangers whereby the said coils are provided with current from said generator.
