Abstract
The dynamic vehicle charging system for electric vehicles includes one or more wind turbines mounted to a vehicle and positioned for exposure to the wind generated during the vehicle's natural driving motion. The wind turbine drives a generator such that when the vehicle moves through the wind, the wind strikes the wind turbine which generates electricity. This electricity is in turn passed through a power converter that converts the electrical energy from the generator to electrical energy that is used to recharge the vehicle batteries, used to offset the electricity consumption rate of the electric vehicle, or both.
Claims18
A dynamic vehicle charging system for use with an electric vehicle, comprising:
- a wind turbine mounted within the interior of the vehicle and positioned for exposure to the wind generated during the vehicle's natural driving motion wherein said wind turbine rotates responsive to said wind;
- a vent mounted some distance behind said wind turbine on the exterior of the vehicle to allow the wind to exit the interior of the vehicle;
- a generator in mechanical communication with said wind turbine such that when said generator rotates, said generator generates electrical energy;
- a power converter in electrical communication with said generator and configured to convert said electrical energy from said generator to a useable power source;
- and
- a battery bank having a plurality of vehicle batteries, said battery bank in electrical communication with said power converter and configured to receive said useable power source.
A dynamic vehicle charging system for use with an electric vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of wind turbines mounted within the interior of the vehicle and positioned for exposure to the wind generated during the vehicle's natural driving motion wherein said plurality of wind turbines rotate responsive to said wind;
- a plurality of vents mounted on the exterior of the vehicle positioned some distance behind said plurality of wind turbines to allow the wind to exit the interior of the vehicle;
- a plurality of generators each in mechanical communication with said plurality of wind turbines such that when each said generator rotates, said generator generates electrical energy;
- a power converter in electrical communication with said plurality of generators and configured to convert said electrical energy from said plurality of generators to a useable power source;
- and
- a battery bank having a plurality of vehicle batteries, said battery bank in electrical communication with said power converter and configured to receive said useable power source.
A dynamic vehicle charging system for use with an electric vehicle, comprising:
- said electric vehicle comprising a storage compartment having at least one grill configured to pass wind therethrough;
- a wind turbine within said storage compartment and configured to receive said wind from said grill;
- a vent configured to pass said wind from said storage compartment wherein said wind enters said grill, passes through said wind turbine, and exits said vent;
- a generator in mechanical communication with said wind turbine such that when said generator rotates, said generator generates electricity;
- a power converter in electrical communication with said generator and configured to convert the electrical energy from said generator to a useable power source;
- and
- a battery bank having a plurality of batteries, said battery bank in electrical communication with said power converter and configured to receive said useable power source.
