Abstract
Abstract An electrical power plant has a rotator means (1) that rotates one or more alternators (6, 8) to generate electrical current that is transmitted to one or more electrical storage bakeries (12, 13) from which electrical current is transmitted to an electrical motor (2) that is a rotational-power component of the rotator means. Electrical current can be transmitted from the one-or-more storage batteries to electrical items such as a vehicle motor (32, 34), electrical appliances, electric lights and electrical communication devices. The rotator means can include a prime mover (10) that can be used for particular applications such as a vehicle (30) engine in addition to rotation of one or more of the alternators.
