Abstract
The invention provides an alternative electrical charging system for a vehicle which is at least partially powered by electricity. The system employs a wind driven generator which produces electricity in response to air motion. When the generator is operating, electricity is communicated the battery of the vehicle. Operation of the generator involves a controller that monitors the electrical status of the battery and selectively activates a fan or opens a ducting system communicating with the generator. The controller also, in some embodiments, monitors the motion and the attitude of the vehicle.
Claims20
A charging system for a vehicle at least partially powered by electricity comprising:
- a) A fan selectively generating an air motion;
- b) a generator producing electricity in response to the air motion, said generator, when operating, communicating electricity to a battery of the vehicle;
- c) a ducting system adapted to selectively communicate the air motion to the generator.
- d) a battery status mechanism generating electrical status data indicative of an electrical charge in the battery;
- e) a remotely controlled primary damper selectively allowing the air flow to enter the ducting system;
- and,
- f) a controller receiving the electrical status data from the battery status mechanism and operating the remotely controlled primary damper and the fan in response thereto.
A vehicle at least partially powered by electricity comprising:
- a) a fan selectively generating air motion;
- b) a generator producing electricity in response to the air motion;
- c) a ducting system having a remotely controlled primary damper adapted to selectively communicate the air flow through the ducting system to the generator and,
- d) a controller selectively communicating an air flow from the ducting system to the generator in response to a status of a battery within said vehicle.
A charging system for a vehicle comprising:
- a) a battery storing electrical energy;
- b) a generator producing electricity in response to air motion, said generator, when operating, communicating electricity to a battery of the vehicle;
- c) a ducting system adapted to selectively communicate an air flow to the generator;
- and,
- d) a controller selectively communicating an air flow to the generator via said ducting system in response to a status of said battery.
