An assembly includes a combustion engine and a housing to protect an engine, wherein the housing has a first wall and the first wall has a container.
1. A method of setting up an assembly, the method comprising:
placing a plurality of ISO containers to create an inner space surrounded by the ISO containers, the inner space defined by a plurality of walls, wherein each of the plurality of walls is formed at least in part by a different one of the plurality of ISO containers;
placing an engine in the inner space such that the engine is housed within the inner space defined between outside walls of the plurality of ISO containers and wherein the engine is not housed within any of the plurality of ISO containers or within a building located within the inner space; and
placing a roof covering the inner space defined between the plurality of ISO containers to shield the engine contained within the inner space.
2. An assembly comprising an engine and a housing to protect the engine, wherein the housing includes an inner space defined by a plurality of walls, wherein each of the plurality of walls is formed at least in part by a different one of a plurality of ISO containers, and wherein the engine is housed within the inner space defined between outside walls of the plurality of ISO containers, wherein the housing comprises a roof, which covers the inner space defined between the plurality of ISO containers and wherein the engine is not housed within any of the plurality of ISO containers or within a building located within the inner space.
3. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the plurality of standardized shipping containers has a length of at least 20 ft.
4. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the plurality of standardized shipping containers has a length of longer than or equal to 40 ft.
