An integrated welder, generator and compressor unit that includes a housing that at least partially contains components of a welder, generator and an electric compressor. An engine, an electric current generator, and an electric air compressor are at least partially mounted in the housing. The electric current generator is at least partially connected to the engine to be at least partially driven thereby. The electric air compressor can be at least partially powered by the electric current generator during the operation of the engine. Alternatively, the air compressor can be powered by an external source of power without the use of the engine/generator.

We claim: 1. An integrated welder, generator and compressor unit comprising: a. a housing; b. an engine at least partially positioned in said housing; c. an electric current generator at least partially positioned in said housing and at least partially connected or interconnected to said engine to be at least partially driven thereby; d. an electric powered air compressor at least partially mounted in said housing, said electric powered air compressor adapted to be at least partially powered by said electric current generator, at least partially powered by a power source external to said integrated welder, or combinations thereof; and, e. an electric circuit that controls distribution of power to said electric powered air compressor from said power source external to said integrated welder. 2. The unit as defined in claim 1, wherein said electric circuit includes a sensor to sense to one or more of available power sources that can provide electric current to said electric powered air compressor. 3. The unit as defined in claim 2, wherein said electric circuit automatically selects a source of electric current from said electric current generator, said power source external to said integrated welder power source, or combinations thereof to be provided to said electric powered air compressor. 4. The unit as defined in claim 1, including an electric plug that is detachably connectable to said power source external to said integrated welder power source. 5. The unit as defined in claim 4, wherein said housing includes a plug compartment that is accessible from an exterior surface of said housing, said plug compartment adapted to at least partially contain said electric plug. 6. The unit as defined in claim 4, wherein said electric plug is positioned on an exterior surface of said housing, positioned in a compartment that is accessible from the exterior surface of said housing, positioned on an electric cord that is positioned in a compartment that is accessible from the exterior surface of said housing, or positioned on an electric cord that is extending from the exterior surface of said housing. 7. The unit as defined in claim 1, including a receiver tank at least partially mounted in said housing, said receiver tank fluidly connected to said air compressor. 8. The unit as defined in claim 1, including a pressure monitor to monitor a pressure at least partially generated by said electric powered air compressor. 9. The unit as defined in claim 8, wherein said pressure monitor monitors a pressure in said receiver tank. 10. The unit as defined in claim 8, wherein said pressure monitor generates a control signal to at least partially control the activation, deactivation, or combinations thereof of said air compressor. 11. The unit as defined in claim 1, including a pressure valve, said pressure valve generating a control signal to at least partially control the activation, deactivation, or combinations thereof of said air compressor. 12. A method of providing compressed air from an integrated welder comprising: a. providing a housing that at least partially contains an engine at least partially mounted in said housing; b. providing an electric current generator that is at least partially mounted in said housing and is at least partially connected or interconnected to said engine to be at least partially driven thereby; c. providing an electric powered air compressor at least partially mounted in said housing, said electric powered air compressor adapted to be at least partially powered by said electric current generator, at least partially powered by a power source external to said integrated welder, or combinations thereof; and, d. providing an electric circuit that controls distribution of power to said electric powered air compressor from said power source external to said integrated welder. 13. The method as defined in claim 12, including the step of said electric circuit sensing to one or more of available power sources that can provide electric current to said electric powered air compressor. 14. The method as defined in claim 13, including the step of automatically selecting a source of electric current from said electric current generator, said power source external to said integrated welder power source, or combinations thereof to be provided to said electric powered air compressor. 15. The method as defined in claim 12, including the step of detachably connecting a plug to said power source external to said integrated welder power source so as to provide electric current to said electric powered air compressor. 16. The method as defined in claim 12, including the step of monitoring a pressure generated by said electric powered air compressor. 17. The method as defined in claim 16, including the step of generating a control signal based upon a detected pressure generated by said electric powered air compressor, said control signal at least partially controlling the activation, deactivation, or combinations thereof of said air compressor. 18. The method as defined in claim 12, including the step of providing a receiver tank at least partially mounted in said housing, said receiver tank fluidly connected to said air compressor. 19. The method as defined in claim 18, including the step of monitoring a pressure in said receiver tank. 20. The method as defined in claim 19, including the step of generating a control signal based upon a detected pressure in said receiver tank to at least partially control the activation, deactivation, or combinations thereof of said air compressor. 21. The method as defined in claim 12, including the step of providing a pressure valve adapted to release pressured fluid, said pressure valve generating a control signal to at least partially control the activation, deactivation, or combinations thereof of said air compressor.
