  • a power generation unit with an inductance can be arranged on the vehicle.
  • the at least one inductance may be arranged on the impeller and correspondingly at least one magnet (eg permanent magnet) may be arranged on the running gear, on the frame or on the running rail (stationary).
  • the magnet is arranged in particular stationary on the chassis, so that current is induced in the inductance by the rotational movement of the impeller.
  • the electrical energy can thus be provided internally in the wheels, which simplifies the supply of power.
  • a tapping of electrical energy for example by an abrasive body or transport of electricity in the impeller is not necessary.
  • a connection to the chassis eg by a sliding contact
  • any generator principle can be used, which converts kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical energy.
  • the kinetic energy can be used, which has the rotation of the impeller relative to the frame or the person receiving device.

  • a rotor (provided with electric or permanent magnets) is present, which is rotated relative to a fixed stator housing.
  • electrical voltage is induced in the inductance (eg conductor coils) provided on the stator.
  • the impeller can be viewed schematically as a rotor.
  • the principle of a generator is used in the first place, in which the current in the rotor (impeller) is induced.

  • An intermediate storage of electrical energy and a release of the energy from the buffer, with suitable power and voltage, would also be conceivable.
  • At least part of the electrical energy supplied can be used by the control circuit for controlling the lighting elements, so that, for example, the light color changes with a change in the movement speed or the rotational speed of the wheels.
  • a mobile lighting is possible, being used as a lighting support the wheels of the moving vehicle.
  • the power source can supply different circuits that drive the light sources differently (eg, a circuit generates at lower speeds already sufficient power, the colored LEDs to light up brings, while a second circuit activated at higher speeds differently colored LEDs).
  • the controller eg microcontroller or circuit for controlling the LEDs and possibly additional sensors (for measuring the rotational speed of an impeller or the position of the vehicle) can be used to generate special lighting effects, in particular standing patterns etc.
  • the controller eg microcontroller or circuit for controlling the LEDs can be arranged on the impeller.

Due to the high loads of the vehicles in this application, a robust construction of the lighting device is necessary. The lighting device must also operate at high speeds, heavy impact (which are transmitted directly by the use of low-damping wheel coverings), moisture, dirt, etc., trouble-free. In addition, by the Invention ensures that the personal safety is granted, ie it can in particular no components of the board or the board to come off the wheel.
