What are Gen-Sets anyway?
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-gensets.htm#

Gensets are fossil-fuel powered generators used to run electrical
devices or to charge batteries. Gensets are often portable and may
be used to power an electric vehicle, serve as a camping aid,
charge battery arrays, or run virtually any device that needs
electrical power on demand. Gensets are also often referred to as
engine-generators, because they are essentially generators with an
engine tacked on to them. While some generators operate by
harnessing wind power, solar power, water power, or a differential
in pressure or heat, gensets are distinguished by their use of
gasoline or diesel to drive a turbine and generate electrical
current. Gensets usually include a fuel tank, an engine, some sort
of speed regulator, the generator itself, and a voltage regulator
for the generator.

Many gensets also include a type of automatic starting and stopping
circuit. These gensets are usually intended to act as a backup
power source, either to an off-grid device running on battery power
or as a backup in case grid power is lost. These gensets detect
whether power has been lost, and if it has, their engines kick in
and they take over the load until power has been restored. In the
past, this sort of genset was found primarily in critical-need
applications, such as hospitals or airports, but now, gensets are
often found in private residences in areas where power outages are
not infrequent.

Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine-generator

An engine-generator is the combination of an electrical generator
and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece
of equipment. This combination is also called an engine-generator
set or a gen-set. In many contexts, the engine is taken for granted
and the combined unit is simply called a generator.

So, what is the size of the Gen-Set business/industry?
Who are the MAIN USERS? What is the market for THIS HLNT
DIVISION for which the HY-Gen was engineered for?
