Abstract
A method to use hydraulic pressure to power a vehicle includes providing a hydraulic fluid power system having a motor in communication with a hydraulic pump; a hose in communication with the hydraulic pump, the hose having a one way valve; a gear motor in fluid communication with the hose to receive hydraulic fluid therefrom; and an alternator to receive power from the gear motor and to transfer power to a battery for storage; operating the hydraulic pump via the motor such that hydraulic fluid is pumped through the hose to the gear motor; charging the battery with power generated by the gear motor and alternator; and using the battery for one or more components of the vehicle.
Claims3
A method to use hydraulic pressure to power a vehicle, comprising:
- providing a hydraulic fluid power system having:
- a motor in communication with a hydraulic pump;
- a hose in communication with the hydraulic pump, the hose having a one way valve;
- a gear motor in fluid communication with the hose to receive hydraulic fluid therefrom;
- and
- an alternator configured to receive power from the gear motor and configured to transfer power to a battery for storage;
- operating the hydraulic pump via the motor such that hydraulic fluid is pumped through the hose to the gear motor;
- charging the battery with power generated by the gear motor and alternator;
- and
- using the battery for one or more components of the vehicle.
A method to use hydraulic pressure to power a vehicle, comprising:
- providing a hydraulic fluid power system having:
- one or more gear motors connected to one or more generators;
- a battery in wired communication with the one or more generators and configured to receive power therefrom;
- a hose in fluid communication with the one or more gear motors engaged with the one or more generators, the hose configured to transfer pressurized fluid to the one or more gear motors;
- operating the one or more gear motors to charge the battery;
- and
- using the battery for one or more components of the vehicle.
