Power system
First Claim
1. A power system for providing power to a load, the system comprising:
- a first power source;
a second power source, independent of said first power source;
a rotary device having a primary power input circuit and a secondary power input circuit, said primary power input circuit and said secondary power input circuit providing power to a motor generator in said rotary device;
said second power source coupled to said rotary device at said secondary power input circuit; and
, a transfer switch for selectively coupling said first power source to said primary power input circuit and said secondary power input circuit.

Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a power system for providing power to a critical load. The system includes a first power source producing sufficient power to supply the critical load and a second power source, independent of said first power source. The second power source produces sufficient power to supply the critical load. The system also includes a rotary device having a first power input circuit and a second power input circuit. The second power source is coupled to the rotary device at the second power input circuit. A transfer switch selectively couples the first power source to the first power input circuit and the second power input circuit.
