Abstract
An electrical generating device combines solar cells and piezoelectric generators into a single generating system, configured in such a manner that the solar cells or the solar cell supporting structures act on the piezoelectric generators, resulting in an electrical generating system that can produce electricity from both solar energy and from the force of the wind.
Claims11
An electrical energy generating device comprising a solar cell generator and a piezoelectric generator, each of said generators connected to a mounting means and configured so that movement of said solar cell generator in response to an outside force causes said piezoelectric generator to deform to an extent sufficient to induce said piezoelectric generator to generate electricity.
An electrical energy generating device kit comprising a solar cell generator and a piezoelectric generator to which said solar cell generator and said piezoelectric generator can be mounted so that movement of said solar cell generator in response to an outside force causes said piezoelectric generator to generate electricity;
- hardware to permit said mounting means to be affixed to a structure;
- an electricity storage device to store the electricity generated by said solar cell generator and said piezoelectric generator;
- electrical conductors to transmit the electricity generated by said solar cell generator and said piezoelectric generator to said electricity storage device.
