A method of powering an electrical device comprising the steps of:
- a. presenting a mobile electricity generator on a ground surface located at a military base, the mobile electricity generator comprising:
- a telescopic boom comprising a first end and a second end;
- a wind turbine attached to the second end of the telescopic boom, wherein the wind turbine is capable of transforming wind into electricity;
- a first solar panel capable of transforming light into electricity,
- a fuel-based generator capable of transforming fuel into electricity;
- a first retractable support leg, a second retractable support leg, and a third retractable support leg;
- a base comprising an external surface;
- a battery in electric communication with the wind turbine, the first solar panel, and the fuel-based generator wherein the battery is capable of at least temporarily storing the electricity;
- and
- an inverter in electronic communication with the battery, and
- wherein the telescopic boom is capable of a resting position and an active position;
- wherein the first solar panel is attached to the base such that the external surface of the base does not impede the first solar panel's access to sun light;
- wherein the first end of the telescopic boom is attached to the base and the first retractable support leg is attached to the base;
- wherein the first retractable support leg is capable of both a retracted position and an extended position;
- wherein the second retractable support leg is capable of both a retracted position and an extended position;
- wherein the third retractable support leg is capable of both a retracted position and an extended position;
- wherein the base comprises a first housing that at least partially houses the first retractable support leg when the first retractable support leg is in the retracted position;
- wherein the base comprises a second housing that at least partially houses the second retractable support leg when the second retractable support leg is in the retracted position;
- wherein the base comprises a third housing that at least partially houses the third retractable support leg when the third retractable support leg is in the retracted position;
- wherein the inverter is capable of converting electricity into alternating current;
- wherein the telescopic boom does not cover the first solar panel when the telescopic boom is in the resting position;
- b. moving the telescopic boom to the active position and allowing the turbine to transform wind into electricity;
- c. positioning the first solar panel to at least partially face sunlight and allowing the first solar panel is to transform light into electricity;
- d. placing fuel into the fuel-based generator and allowing the fuel-based generator to transform fuel into electricity
- e. presenting a device that requires electricity to operate;
- and
- f. electrically connecting the device that requires electricity to operate to the mobile electricity generator.
