Abstract
An inverter/charger (14), battery (16), energy saving storage system, for storing, then inverting back to Alternating Current surplus electrical energy upon command from a controlled switch (18).
Claims6
A method for increasing the efficiency of electrical generation comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a means for converting an alternating current energy to a direct current energy in a storage medium, (b) providing a means for controlling the point in time to convert said alternating current energy to said direct current energy in said storage medium, (c) providing a means for inverting said direct current energy in said storage medium to a reconstituted alternating current energy, (d) providing a means for controlling the point in time to invert said stored direct current energy to said reconstituted alternating current energy, whereby surplus electrical energy generated at one point in time can be used for electrical work at another point in time, increasing the overall efficiency of electrical energy generation to use, whereby an increase in efficiency could result in substantially less wasteful energy generation, and substantially less environmental damage from pollution generated to support the same load.
A machine for increasing the efficiency of electrical energy generation, comprising:

I claim a means to convert surplus utility energy into free energy or to a least be considered a form of green energy, because mankind and all the wonders of nature living in the environment God made for us have already paid the price to create it once.
