| Summary: | This work presents a method for designing and analyzing planetary gear trains and discusses potential applications in engine couplings. Furthermore, it will show to use of Epicyclic gear trains as a power coupling for two-engine generators to discuss the fuel consumption for (Amp/hr) 1n 2 & 4 KVA generators comparing the use of 337 cc engine and two 163 cc engines.
Results show that using two 163 cc engines launched to the generator head in the range of (1 to 12) Amp/hr may give up to a 50% reduction in fuel consumption compared to that of a single 337cc engine (at 6 Amp/hr).
