Abstract
The hybrid power generator is an emergency electric power generator. The hybrid power generator is configured to generate AC electrical power that is suitable for use in circumstances where the national electric grid has failed. The hybrid power generator comprises a housing and a power reserve circuit. The housing contains the power reserve circuit. The power reserve circuit: a) generates electrical energy using a fuel source; b) generates electrical energy using a photoelectric cell; c) stores the generated electrical energy as chemical potential energy; and, d) distributes the generated and stored electrical energy for use as AC electrical energy.
