Abstract
A tile, preferably a roof tile (1), for collecting energy from kinetic, thermal and light sources. The tile comprises a housing (2) with at least one photovoltaic cell (3) for collecting energy from a light source and at least one thermal collector (4). The tile comprises at least one wind channel (5) with a wind turbine (6).
Claims20
A tile for collecting energy from at least one of kinetic, thermal and light sources, the tile comprising:
- a housing with
- at least one photovoltaic cell for collecting energy from a light source, and
- at least one thermal collector;
- wherein the tile comprises at least one wind channel with a wind turbine;
- and
- a cover sheet that extends beyond a side of the wind channel having at least one inlet.
A batten for fixation of tiles,
- the batten comprising a pipe for transporting water and a track for electric wiring, the electric wiring comprising least one first interface allowing an electrical connection to a tile which collects energy from at least one of kinetic, thermal and light sources,
- wherein the pipe comprises at least one second interface for the tile allowing a fluidic connection and the tile comprises a third mechanical interface allowing fixation of the tile, and
- the tile having:
- a housing with at least one photovoltaic cell for collecting energy from a light source, and at least one thermal collector,
- at least one wind channel with a wind turbine, and
- a cover sheet that extends beyond a side of the wind channel having at least one inlet.
A pipe for transporting a fluid having a cross-section orthogonal to an intended flow direction of the fluid with a wall comprising a deformable circumferential first wall section and a rigid circumferential second wall section,
- wherein the first wall section is at least partially made of a thermally conductive material,
- the pipe being connected to a tile for collecting eneray from at least one of kinetic, thermal and light sources, the tile comprising:
- a housing with
- at least one photovoltaic cell for collecting energy from a light source, and
- at least one thermal collector:
- wherein the tile comprises at least one wind channel with a wind turbine;
- and
- a cover sheet that extends beyond a side of the wind channel having at least one inlet.
A method of producing a pipe, including the steps of:
- providing a deformable first section and a rigid second section,
- joining the first and the second sections at a first edge, and
- joining the first and the second sections at a second edge,
- connecting the pipe to a tile for collecting energy from at least one of kinetic, thermal and light sources, the tile comprising:
- a housing with
- at least one photovoltaic cell for collecting energy from a light source, and
- at least one thermal collector:
- wherein the tile comprises at least one wind channel with a wind turbine;
- and
- a cover sheet that extends beyond a side of the wind channel having at least one inlet.
