An energy source apparatus which will supply current and compressed air. The energy source apparatus has an engine, a drive shaft engaged to the engine, and a face plate that is bound to the drive shaft in order to rotate therewith. A clutch is pivotally mounted to the face plate such as to respond to centrifugal force. A second drive shaft has an end rotatably positioned within the clutch such that the outside circumferential surface of the end of the second drive shaft is engaged by inner clutch pads of the clutch. A third drive shaft has a hollow end which is positioned around the clutch apparatus such that when the engine rotates the face plate at high speeds, centrifugal force causes outer clutch pads of the clutch to engage with the hollow end of the third drive shaft. A generator is engaged to the third drive shaft to be driven thereby. An air compressor is engaged to the second drive shaft in order to be driven thereby too.
A clutch means comprising a first generally semi-circular clutch body terminating at one end into a first lug means having a first lug aperture and a first lug recess and terminating at another end into a first tongue, said first generally semi-circular clutch body having a structure defining a first web support means integrally bound to an arcuate first flange means having a first upper arcuate flange surface and a first lower arcuate flange surface;
An energy source means which will supply electric current and compressed air comprising a drive means;
