System Description

The AuraGen Induction Power Source uses the rotating energy from an engine to produce commercial grade AC electrical power whenever the engine is running.

AuraGen produces a substantial amount of power at normal/near engine idle. 5000 watts of power output requires 1200 engine RPM in a typical V-8 gasoline engine and between 650 and 900 RPM for most diesel  applications.

The source of electric power is the Induction Power Source (generator). It is mounted to the engine and mechanically rotated (driven) by a serpentine belt coupled to the crankshaft.

Unlike a conventional alternator, AuraGen does not contain built in diodes to convert the generated AC to DC. Instead, 400 volts of unregulated AC output is supplied through a four-wire power cable to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) then converted to the programed application.

An engine specific mounting kit allows proper installation of the AuraGen to the engine. When installed properly, the serpentine belt aligns with all idlers and tensioners. Due to engine design variations, some installations will require a custom designed bracket to complete the installation.

Another drive option is a Power Take Off (PTO) located on the transmission or drive shaft.

AuraGen's Unique Operating Modes

With the engine running AuraGen provides power for all equipment and keeps charge on batteries required for engine off operation. With the engine off the Inverter Charger System (ICS) supplies a seamless flow of energy to provide power from the on-board battery bank. The systems automated monitors prevent draining the batteries. If the equipment in use suddenly needs more power, the patented bi-directional power supply will add power to the system without effecting performance.
