<p>A portable power generation apparatus comprises a power unit (2, fig.4) for generating electrical power and a monocoque shell 3 for structurally supporting the power unit. Also provided is a monocoque 3 for a portable power generation apparatus which comprises at least one mount (14, fig.4) for attachment of a power unit, such as an engine, at least one fuel connector for attachment to an external supply of fuel and at least one electrical output terminal 20, 21 for electrically connecting the power unit to a device to be powered by the power generation apparatus. A preferred embodiment relates to a lightweight, portable, modular power generation system which may be stowed on and transported by a vehicle, wherein the dimensions of the power generation system are substantially the same as a fuel container, such as a jerry can, such that the generator is stowable in the space intended for stowing the fuel container.</p> |
