  • Patent number: 11374509
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a generator pulley system and methods thereof. Atop the generator pulley system may be a generator and battery for actuating at least one motor. A pull line may be retractably coupled to the front of the system. Alternatively, the pull line is not retractable. At least one sensor may be used to monitor the line. In an illustrative embodiment, the system may actuate the at least motor to steer in the direction of the pulled line. The battery may be recharged by the generator depending on its state of charge and period of time after requesting a movement of the generator.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10203373
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an apparatus, system, and method for monitoring multiple portable generators. A monitoring device may include at least one electrical plug to connect to a respective electrical socket of multiple generators. The monitoring device may include a plurality of sensors, a wireless modem, and a processor communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors, the wireless modem, and to a memory storing executable instructions. The monitoring device may generate a unique identifier for a connected generator of the multiple generators when plugged into the electrical socket of the connected generator. The monitoring device may monitor operational parameters of the connected generator based on the plurality of sensors. The monitoring device may store a respective profile for each of the multiple generators, each profile associated with a respective unique identifier and including the operational parameters. The monitoring device may transmit the profile to a mobile device via the wireless modem.
