Abstract
An air breathing battery apparatus is connected to the hollow tubing of a backpack frame to provide an uninterrupted, water-resistant, light-weight power supply during extended remote operations in the field. Air breathing power sources are connected to the hollow tubes of the backpack assembly to provide a constant uninterrupted air supply in a relatively small package that fits easily into the backpack frame with only negligible added weight. The positioning of the air breathing power source in a backpack composed of hollow tubing also protects the battery from inclement weather or when the user is in water, for example, while fording a river or stream, to permit the uninterrupted use of the electronics powered by the battery.
Claims20
An air breathing battery backpack frame device for use with an air breathing battery, comprising:
- an air breathing battery case;
- said air breathing battery case being connected to a frame assembly;
- said frame assembly being composed of a plurality of hollow tubes;
- at least one air intake vent disposed at a top portion of said frame assembly provides a continuous airflow;
- and
- said continuous airflow is conducted through said hollow tubes to at least one air nozzle, said at least one air nozzle configured for communicating with the air breathing battery to provide a light-weight water-resistant power source to a user.
