Description
VEHICLE WITH MULTIPLE MOTIVE POWER SYSTEMS
The present invention relates to vehicles, and more particularly to a vehicle with multiple motive power systems which supply motive power to the vehicle by converting solar radiation energy, wind force and rotational energy into electrical power.
Many conventional vehicles, whether used on land, on water or in the air, need petroleum fuel or other valuable energy resources for motive power.
Without petroleum fuel they are useless. Nowadays, petroleum is an indispensable energy source in human life. However, as the shortage of petroleum becomes serious and concern for environmental protection grows, it is possible that human beings will resort to other energy sources.
However, to alleviate the problems caused by the use of petroleum fuels is difficult. People all over the world have tried to develop a new generation of power systems which cause no environmental pollution to replace present systems.
Consequently, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle with multiple motive power systems which overcomes the problems discussed above. After a long period of study, the inventor has developed a novel and practical power system which can be used for supplying motive power to drive a vehicle no matter whether it is a sunny, rainy or windless day. The motive power of the present invention is taken from unlimited sources of natural energy such as solar energy, wind energy, and rotational energy. The various motive power sources are arranged to supply electrical power to drive the vehicle under the control of a power control system, so that the vehicle may be powered by an uninterrupted and sufficient electrical power.
In accordance with the invention there is provided a vehicle with multiple motive power sources, comprising a frame; energy storage means for storing electrical power derived from the power sources; solar energy collection means; wind-powered energy collection means; driving means coupled to the storage means to provide a forward motion for the vehicle; a rotor-based driving assembly coupled to the storage means to provide a lifting force for the vehicle; and wheeldriving means coupled to the storage means and arranged to drive ground-engaging wheels of the vehicle.
Also in accordance with the invention there is provided a vehicle with multiple motive power sources comprising:
a vehicle frame;
an energy storage means for accumulating and storing electrical power derived from the power sources and providing electrical power for the vehicle;
a solar energy collection means for absorbing solar radiation energy and converting the solar energy into electrical energy for charging the energy storage means;
a windmill-type assembly coupled to a power generator and arranged to be rotated by wind force to provide electrical power to the energy storage means;
a cup-bearing assembly revolvable by wind force to provide electrical power to the energy storage means;
a propeller driving means positioned at the rear of the vehicle frame to provide a forward motion force to the vehicle;
a rotor driving assembly positioned on the top of the vehicle frame to provide a lifting -force to the vehicle; and
a wheel driving assembly for driving wheels mounted under the vehicle frame to enable the vehicle to travel on land.
A preferred object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle with a powerful energy storage system. The energy storage system comprises a first battery set and a second battery set coupled with the first battery set via a double-pole switch. The two battery sets are equipped with a charge indicator for indicating the amount of charge remaining in the batteries and the battery sets are arranged to be charged by a motor-generator set. On detection of the charged batteries having reached a predetermined current level, the charging current supplied by the motor-generator set will be terminated automatically.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle is constructed as a traffic conveyance for goods and passengers on land, water and in the air. The vehicle is equipped with a power storage system and a power management system which can manage the various power sources for supplying energy to drive the vehicle.
These and other objects and features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Fig. 15 is a schematic circuit diagram of the energy storage system of the vehicle of the present invention.
Referring first to Fig. 1, this shows that the vehicle has a solar energy collection surface 1, a first wind-driven assembly 2 in the form of a windmill and a second wind-driven assembly 3 in the form of a cup-bearing rotor, together forming an energy generating system in accordance with the present invention. All the energy generating devices mentioned above get energy from the natural environment. The drive system of the present invention may comprise a propeller driving assembly 11, a rotor driving assembly 12 and a wheel driving assembly 13. The solar energy collection surface 1 absorbs solar radiation energy and then converts the collected solar energy into electrical energy to charge an energy storage system 6.
The windmill assembly 2 may be rotated by the action of the wind, on a windy day, even when the vehicle is stationary. It is also rotatable by the wind force caused by the motion of the vehicle itself on a windless day. The rotational action of the windmill assembly 2 may generate electrical power by turning a power generator 4 in order to charge the energy storage system 6. The cup-bearing rotor assembly 3 is also arranged to provide electrical power by turning a power generator 5 in order to charge the energy storage system 6. With such an arrangement, the energy storage system 6 can be charged by the three power sources under any weather conditions. The energy storage system 6 is equipped with sets of rechargeable batteries for receiving electrical energy, and provides the energy to drive the propeller driving assembly 11, the rotor driving assembly 12, and the wheel driving assembly 13 via driving motors 8, 9 and 10 respectively under the control of a control system 7.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It will be noted that the vehicle has a frame somewhat like the conventional mobile car. The front portion of the vehicle is equipped with a solar energy collection surface 1 for absorbing solar radiation energy on a sunny day. In addition the frame of the vehicle is equipped with windmill-type assemblies on both sides of the vehicle. Under the chassis of the vehicle, there are four wheels rotatable by the wheel driving assembly 13 shown in Fig. 1, so that the vehicle may move on the land for carrying goods and passengers.
Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 show the bottom plan, top plan, side elevational, rear elevational and front elevational view of the frame of the vehicle shown in Fig. 2 respectively. These drawings show the structure arrangement and relationship between the energy generating system and the drive system of the present invention in greater detail. In these drawings, sets of cup-bearing rotor assemblies 3 are shown mounted on the respective sides of the vehicle. Each of the cup-bearing rotor assemblies 3 consists of a plurality of cup-like members rotatable by the action of the wind created when the vehicle moves or by the wind itself on a windy day. A propeller driving system 11 is mounted on the rear portion of the vehicle for providing a forward motive force to move the vehicle. A rotor driving system 12 is positioned on the top of the vehicle for providing a lifting force to the vehicle frame.
Fig. 8A and Fig. 8B show the structure of the windmill-type assembly 2 in greater detail. The assembly 2 is designed to be rotatable when the vehicle is moving, and it is also rotatable as long as there is sufficient wind force if the vehicle is stationary on a windy day. For this purpose, assembly 2 is composed of several revolvable vanes 21 and two cup-like members 22. Each of the revolvable vanes 21 has a smooth external appearance, so that the vanes will respond to the action of the wind. The vanes are designed to rotate about a central shaft 23 of the assembly 2. The central shaft 23 is mechanically coupled to a power generator (not shown) which acts as a power pick-up device for converting the mechanical rotation into electrical power and then charging the storage batteries of the energy storage system as shown in Fig.
1. The top end of the central shaft 23 of the assembly 2 may be equipped with horizontal rotary blades which can rotate with the central shaft 23 of the assembly 2 to achieve a smoother rotation. The structure of the horizontal rotary blades is shown in Fig. 9A and Fig.
9B.
Figs. 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D, 10E and 10F show the detailed structure of the cup-bearing rotor assembly 3 consisting of a main shaft 31 and a supporting frame 33. The supporting frame 33 is used for supporting various cup-like members 32 thereon circumferentially around the main shaft 31. In such a structural arrangement, the main shaft 31 may be rotated by the rotation of the supporting frame 33 when the cup-like members 32 are urged to rotate by the action of the wind. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, several cup-bearing rotor assemblies are arranged on the sides of the vehicle frame for generating a smoother and stronger rotation.
Fig. 11 shows a solar energy collection surface 1 rigidly mounted on the front portion of the vehicle for absorbing and collecting solar radiation energy on a sunny day. The solar energy collection surface 1 is placed at a particular angle for absorbing solar radiation energy efficiently at any time. The absorbed solar energy will be converted into electrical energy for charging the storage batteries or may provide direct electrical power to the drive system of the vehicle.
Fig. 12A and Fig. 12B show the structure of the blades 14 which are rigidly mounted on the top surface of the front and rear portions of the vehicle as shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 12A is a cross-sectional view of the blade, and Fig. 12B is a side elevational view of the blade.
Fig. 13 shows the chassis 15 of the vehicle frame of the present invention. The chassis 15 is equipped with two support plates 151, 152 and a top frame 153, thereby forming a strong chassis for the vehicle.
Fig. 14 shows in greater detail the structure of the rotor driving assembly 12. From this drawing, it will be noted that the rotor driving assembly 12 consists of a plurality of blades rigidly coupled to a rotatable shaft. Each blade of the rotor driving assembly 12 has a supporting frame 123 to form a hollow inner space in the blade. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner space of the blade is stuffed with an air pouch or pouches 122 filled with helium gas. Furthermore, the outer surface of the supporting frame may be covered with a protective cover layer 121. The air pouch 122 helps to reduce the total weight of the vehicle and enhance the lifting force of the vehicle during the rotation of the rotor driving assembly 12.
Referring to Fig. 15, this is a schematic circuit diagram showing the circuit arrangement of the energy storage system 6 shown in Fig. 1. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the circuit is equipped with batteries B1, B2, B3, B4, B5,
B6, B7, B8, B9 and B10 which form a first battery set of the energy storage system. All the battery units in the first battery set are connected in parallel and each of the battery units is capable of outputting a 24V d.c. output voltage. In addition, two battery units B11 and B12 are also connected in parallel forming a second battery set of the energy storage system. In the circuit arrangement, there is provided a double-pole switch K1 between the first and second battery sets, so that the first and second battery sets can be electrically coupled together via the switch.
Both the first battery set and the second battery set are equipped with charge indicators D1 and D2 respectively across their positive and negative terminals. The main purpose of the charge indicators is to indicate the total amount of charge in the battery sets and to determine whether the battery units need to be charged or not.
There is provided also a motor-generator set consisting of four permanent-magnetic type motors M1,
M2, M3 and M4 and an electric generator G. The generator G may be rotated by the motors M2 and M3 via driving belts MB2, MB3 and a clutch CL. The motors M1 and M4 are coupled to the motors M2 and M3 respectively. Motors M1 and M2 are powered by the second battery set via an inverter I1. Motors M2 and
M4 are powered by the second battery set via an inverter I2. In practice, the motors M1, M2, M3 and M4 may be equipped with double-pole breaker switches K2,
K3, K4 and K5 for selection of the number of coupling motors. Further inverters I3, I4 and I5 may be used as spare units for this system.
The output terminals O/P of the generator G are connected across the first battery set, so that the battery units in the first battery set may be charged by the output voltage generated by the generator G. An output indicator D3 is connected in series between the generator G and the first battery set for indicating the current flow provided by the generator G. The input terminals I/P of the generator G are electrically connected to the first battery set via a line switch
K6, an input indicator D4 and a protection circuit unit
P3. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the battery set of the energy storage system supplies a maximum 24V 50A power capacity to drive the drive system of the vehicle.
In a charging cycle to the first and second storage battery sets, the charging current is supplied by the generator and the charging current flow is inversely proportional to the amount of charge remaining in the battery units. With the arrangement of the present invention, ten battery units in parallel connection in the first battery set are arranged to be charged with a charging current of 50A supplied by the generator G. When the charged battery units reach a predetermined current level less than 10A, the charging effect of the system is considered to be uneconomical.
Therefore, in consideration of economical factors, the generator will stop supplying power to the battery units when the charging current is less than 10A. In order to detect precisely the charging status, the present system is consequently equipped with charge indicators D1 and D2 across the first battery set and second battery set respectively. Under manual control or by an automatic control circuit, such as a microcomputer system, the generator will be stopped on detection of a charging current less than 10A.
The circuit arrangement described above may be connected to other power sources, such as solar radiation energy G1 and wind force rotation energy G2 as illustrated in Fig. 1. In such case, a diode element P1 is connected between the solar radiation energy source G1 and the first battery set, and a diode element P2 is connected between the wind rotation energy source G2 and the first battery set in order to protect the circuit.
