conductors extending from the magneto connecting the magneto to a power outlet to provide electricity generated by the magneto to the power outlet; and

a hydraulic pump housing enclosing both the hydraulic pump and the magneto.

2 . The hydraulic pump of claim 1 , wherein the power outlet is located on the hydraulic pump housing.

3 . The hydraulic pump of claim 1 , wherein the magneto includes a rotor connected to a flange located on the pump shaft adapter and the pump shaft adapter is operatively connected to a prime mover shaft extending from a prime mover wherein the rotor and pump shaft adapter are rotated by the prime mover shaft.

4 . The hydraulic pump of claim 3 , further comprising a stator located within the rotor.

5 . The hydraulic pump of claim 4 , wherein the stator includes coils.

6 . The hydraulic pump of claim 3 , wherein the prime mover is anyone of the following: a gasoline motor, a diesel motor, a natural gas powered motor, a propane powered motor; a pneumatic motor, and a hydraulic motor.

7 . The hydraulic pump of claim 1 , wherein the conductors are operatively connected to a rectifier located between the magneto and the power outlet.

8 . The hydraulic pump of claim 7 , wherein the conductors are operatively connected to a resistor connected between the rectifier and the power outlet.

9 . The hydraulic pump of claim 1 , wherein the pump shaft adapter includes a shaft portion, a large diameter portion being larger than the shaft portion, a flange having a greater diameter than the large diameter portion, and an extended lip portion projecting from the flange.

10 . The hydraulic pump of claim 9 , further including a keyway located in a chamber contained within the shaft adapter.

11 . A method of generating electricity comprising:

adapting a pump shaft to include an attaching structure;

attaching a magneto to the attaching structure; and
