Abstract

The device has coils fixed to a frame of a bicycle, and super powerful magnets (10) passed in front of the coils when a wheel (7) of the bicycle turns, for producing electrical energy. A copper electrical wire connects the coils to LEDs that are placed on a plastic support already installed in the frame of the bicycle. Each super powerful magnet is fixed between two spokes (9) of the wheel of the bicycle on a transparent plastic support (11) or a reflector. Poles are respectively turned towards the coils and the magnets in a single direction.

Description

-1- La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour produire de l'énergie électrique pour alimenter des léds qui vont servir à faire la signalisation surtout nocturne des vélos. La production d'énergie électrique est fait traditionnellement par des dynamos se qui fait une certaine force sur la roue et freine celle-ci. The present invention relates to a device for producing electrical energy to feed the leds that will be used to make the signaling especially nocturnal bicycles. The production of electrical energy is done traditionally by dynamos which makes a certain force on the wheel and brakes it.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il est composé en effet selon une première caractéristique, par une ou plusieurs bobines et des aimants super puissants pour produire de l'énergie électrique, des léds pour signaler la présence du vélo et du fil électrique pour relier la bobine (Source) aux léds (récepteur). La bobine se placera sur le cadre du vélo et parallèlement à la roue. Les aimants se fixeront chacun entre deux rayons de la roue au tour de celle-ci de façon à passer au même niveau de la bobine lorsque la roue tourne, passent près de celle-ci, permettent de cette façon la production d'énergie électrique gratuitement et sans effort supplémentaire pour le cycliste. La connection entre la ou les bobines et les Iéds sera faite par fil électrique.The device according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage. It is composed in fact according to a first characteristic, by one or more coils and magnets super powerful to produce electrical energy, leds to signal the presence of the bicycle and the electric wire to connect the coil (Source) to the leds ( receiver). The spool will be placed on the frame of the bike and parallel to the wheel. The magnets will each be fixed between two spokes of the wheel around it so as to pass to the same level of the coil when the wheel rotates, pass close to it, thus allow the production of free electric energy and without extra effort for the cyclist. The connection between the coil (s) and the Ied will be made by electric wire.

Les léds doivent être facilement visibles vu de derrière, sur les cotés et de devant. Des interrupteurs électriques peuvent être rajouter pour commander un clignotant â droite et à gauche utilisant des léds diffusantes de couleur orange, activation général du circuit devant, circuit derrière. -2- - Des diodes, condensateurs ou autre matériel électronique peut être utilisé pour avoir un courant continue et permanent. Une petite batterie peut être utilisée pour stoker l'énergie électrique. Les dessins annexes illustrent l'invention pour la roue derrière, identique pour 5 devant : La figure 1 représente en coupe, une bobine avec un nucléon en fer.
