US 12,447,849 B1 · System of power generation on-the-go for electric vehicles (EVs) using an airbine

Abstract

This invention relates to an airbine system designed to enhance the power generation and battery efficiency of electric vehicles (EVs). The airbine integrates into the vehicle, utilizing the kinetic energy of moving air to drive its powerhouse/generator group. The internal components of the powerhouse are designed with significant mass to act as a flywheel, enabling continuous electricity generation even during short periods of vehicle inactivity, such as at traffic lights or passenger pickups. This system ensures that the EV's batteries remain charged, extending the driving range and reducing reliance on external charging infrastructure. The airbine also features optimized airflow management through adjustable blades, maximizing energy capture. Additionally, the system integrates with regenerative braking technology to further enhance energy efficiency. By maintaining a consistent battery charge, the airbine system improves overall performance, sustainability, and convenience for EV users.

Dependent claims

A power generation system for an electric vehicle comprising:

an airbine housed within said electric vehicle;
a powerhouse/generator group within said airbine;
wherein a plurality of internal components, including at least a first fan blade and a second fan blade, of said powerhouse/generator group have a mass sufficient to act as a momentum flywheel;
a battery pack having at least two charging ports connected to said powerhouse/generator group for storing generated electricity;
a control unit for managing and reporting on an operation of said power generation system;
a sensor for detecting a movement of said electric vehicle, and
wherein said control unit is configured to regulate said operation of said airbine based on a status of said movement of said electric vehicle;
wherein said control unit deactivates said powerhouse/generator group when said electric vehicle remains stationary for an extended period configured to prevent wear by limiting a speed of rotation of said plurality of internal components in order to prevent a harm or a destruction of said airbine and/or said plurality of internal components due to an excess in said speed of rotation from a pressure of air.
