1. A zero emission generation system for providing electrical power to a load over extended time periods, said system comprising:

  • a first deep cycle direct current battery;

    a second deep cycle direct current battery;

    a motor drive circuit;

    a battery recharge circuit;

    switching means for switching said first battery and said second battery between said motor drive circuit and said battery recharge circuit;

    such that at any given time, one of said first battery and said second battery is in said motor drive circuit, and the other is in said battery recharge circuit;

    a comptroller for controlling said switching means and for regulating battery charging rate in said battery recharging circuit;

    a single direct current electric motor provided in said motor drive circuit;

    a main power switch provided in said motor drive circuit;

    an alternator mechanically powered by said direct current electric motor, said alternator provided in said battery recharging circuit for recharging the battery in said battery recharge circuit; and

    a generator mechanically powered by said direct current electric motor, said generator providing alternating current to said load; and

    a pulse-width modulator in said motor drive circuit for controlling and maintaining a desired speed of rotation in a generator shaft of said generator.
