Abstract

A wind powered mobile charging device comprises a wind driven turbine A which supplies electricity for charging a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone, music player or games console. The wind driven turbine A drives an alternator which in turn charges a storage battery in a control box C. The portable electronic device can be connected via a cable D to the control box C whose internal storage battery then charges the device. The wind powered mobile charging device may also include a small solar array or panel E to assist the charging of the storage batteries in low wind speeds.

Description

I
A Wind Powered Mobile Charging Device.
This invention relates to the charging of mobile electronic devices using wind power.
When a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone, music player or games console's battety runs low it is not always possible to find a recharging point particularly outdoors.
To overcome this, the present invention proposes a wind driven propeller that then drives an alternator to charge up a rechargeable battery within a control box. Preferably, an output from the control box then connects into the electronic device which is to be charged.
The advantage of charging batteries in the control box rather than charging the mobile device directly is that once the batteries in the control box are charged a mobile electronic device can be connected at any time for a full recharge regardless of the wind speed.
The charging of the batteries Within the control box from the wind driven propeller could be supplemented by the addition of a small solar array on the wind charger device. This would back up the power supplied by the wind driven propeller to charge the batteries in the event of low wind speeds.
The invention will now be described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings on pageS and 6 in which: Figure 1.0 details A Wind Powered Mobile Charger.
Figure 2.0 details A Wind Powered Mobile Charger with a Backup Solar Army.
In figure 1.0 the propeller (A) is rotated by the wind, this is directly connected to a small 3 phase alternator Within the body of the mobile charging device. The tail fin (B) automatically aligns the propeller to face into the wind. A fixed stop is incorporated into the yaw bearing (the horizontal bearing between the shaft and turbine body) to prevent over twisting of the internal cable.
The generated electricity is rectified to a DC voltage by a high efficiency bridge rectifier, again within the body of the mobile charging device. The power is then transferred via a cable running down the centre of the mounting tube to a control box (C).
Within the control box there is a rechargeable battery that stores the charging power from the mobile charging device. An electronic circuit then boosts the voltage and regulates the current to enable the charging of a variety of electronic devices such as mobile phones, music players or games consoles.
A range of universal plugs can be connected to the output socket (D) to allow specific manthcturers connector requirements to be met. Alternatively this connection may be made directly into the control box.
Alternatively the storage batteries and electronics described above contained in the control box (C) could be placed within the body of the mobile charging device instead.
The steel plated base (E) of the mobile charging device can be used to mount the turbine with the use of very strong neodymium magnets to metal surfaces, Alternatively a bracket could be engineered to clamp onto other surfaces e.g. on top of a tent or other form of temporaiy accommodation or structure.
In Figure 2.0 the small solar array (E) which could be mounted on the mobile charging devices body, pole, mounting or other structure will in addition provide charge to the batteries and assist the turbine by still providing charge to the storage batteries in times of low wind speed.
