Abstract
A mobile power station for the purpose of recharging electric vehicles is provided. The charging station includes separate, but different, types of electrical generation capabilities. For example, the charging station may include two or more of: wind power, solar power and power generated from suspension mounted oscillators, which charge its battery pack over land. If desired, the mobile power station can be amphibious, as well, with the ability to navigate small and large bodies of water.
Claims7
A mobile electric vehicle charging station with amphibious capability configured for recharging electrically powered devices, comprising:
- a chassis element composed of a high strength, lightweight structural element cast within a form of closed cell foam, said chassis element completely enclosed within a hardened carbon fabric, thereby rendering it rigid and waterproof, thereby impervious to weather, said chassis element exhibiting buoyancy;
- an operators compartment, in communication with said chassis element;
- a high strength tubular structure totally surrounding and affixed to said chassis element, said tubular structure configured for the attachment of suspension components including control arms, coil spring shock absorbers, axle bearing spindles, and mounted reciprocating electrical generators, to configure said chassis as a steerable wheeled or tracked vehicle;
- at least one storage battery in combination with at least one supercapacitor;
- and
- an electric drive motor with controls for driving the mobile electric vehicle charging station.
