Abstract
The present invention is directed to a mobile light tower that utilizes multiple sources of energy to provide a highly energy efficient source of illumination. The lights of the light tower draw power from the energy stored in the batteries. During the day, solar energy can captured and stored in batteries. In times of cloud cover, or at night, wind energy can be captured and stored in the batteries. Additional alternative energy sources can also be incorporated. In the event that neither of these sources are sufficient, a fuel powered generator can be utilized to generate energy to be stored in the batteries.
Claims22
An apparatus for providing mobile illumination from a renewable energy source, comprising:
- a. a trailer frame component;
- b. a mast component, wherein the bottom of said mast component is fixedly attached to said trailer frame component;
- c. a utility bar attached to the top of said mast component;
- d. one or more lights attached to said utility bar;
- e. a battery system mounted on said trailer frame component;
- f. a power management component mounted on said trailer frame component and electrically connected to said battery system and said one or more lights;
- g. a renewable energy generator electrically connected to said power management component;
- h. a backup energy generator powered by a fuel component and electrically connected to said power management component;
- wherein said power management component receives power generated by said renewable energy generator if available, otherwise from said backup generator, and stores said power in said battery system for use in illuminating said one or more lights.
