Description

The utility model relates to the field of wind energy and can be used in vehicle designs to accumulate additional power supply for engines, actuators and devices.

Known wind electric ship containing an internal combustion engine, kinematically connected with a propeller and electrically with an electric generator and wind generators taken outside the usable area. In this case, the wind-driven electric ship is equipped with a second electric motor connected to the second propeller connected to the wind generators (patent N 2053925, class B63H 13/00, 1991).

The disadvantage of this technical solution is that it uses the energy of only the air currents that fall on the wind turbine, which, acting on its blades, simultaneously form an air barrier to the incoming wind, are reflected from them, which provide additional resistance to movement, stability and stability on the ship's course, which leads to additional fuel and other resources of the marine power plant.

Known wind turbine containing an exhaust tower with a lower air intake and an upper tip, as well as an air turbine mounted in the tower tract (patent N 2063543, CL F03D 3/04, 1993).

The disadvantage of this invention is that the wind turbine uses only the energy of the air flow attributable to the receiving holes of the lower annular air intake.

Closest to the proposed solution is a ship wind power installation containing an exhaust tower with a horizontally-releasing head, an air intake at the bottom of the tower and a wind turbine inside it (patent RU 2139225 C1, IPC B63H 9/00, publ. 10.10.1999).

The disadvantage of the invention is the limited scope and complexity of the design.

The objective of the proposed utility model is to eliminate the shortcomings of the closest analogue and to create a simple and effective device for generating electricity on moving vehicles.

The technical result of the proposed device is to simplify the design.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the device for receiving electric energy comprises a pipe with at least one wind generator installed inside it. It is characterized by the fact that the pipe is made in the section of a cylindrical or conical shape and is mounted horizontally on the vehicle along its longitudinal axis, and wind generators are installed inside the pipe at the front and / or rear end and are electrically connected to the energy storage device.

In a specific embodiment, the pipe comprises an air intake at the front end.

In a specific embodiment, a protective grill is installed at the front end of the pipe or air intake.

The essence of the proposed utility model is that this device is a wind generator installed in a pipe of cylindrical or conical shape.

Since the operation of any wind generator requires a constant flow of wind (at least 3 meters per second), the absence of wind makes the wind generator absolutely useless. The problem of the lack of wind is solved by installing the proposed device on a vehicle. This vehicle may be a car, a diesel locomotive and wagons attached to it, a watercraft or any other vehicle moving at a sufficient speed to operate a wind generator.

The use of electricity generated as a result of vehicle movement is very extensive, and most importantly, it is in demand.

This design of the wind generator is a pipe (figure 1, position 1) of various shapes in which the wind generator is installed (figure 1, position 2), or several wind generators located both one after another and in parallel. This compact device can be installed anywhere in the car, without interfering with the view of the driver and without violating the design of the car. And when you turn on this device as standard on the vehicle, designers will be able to make it completely invisible. A pipe in which a wind generator can be installed creates turbulence. Thus, a car moving at a speed of 60 km per hour creates a stream of air directed into the wind generator, comparable to a wind speed of 12 meters per second. When the flow of oncoming air enters the pipe, its speed, and, consequently, the efficiency of the wind generator increases significantly. The generated current through the wires approaches the battery (Fig. 1, position 3) and charges it. If the battery is fully charged, the automatic system either turns on the braking of the turbine or propeller mounted on the generator shaft or turns on the ballast to recover excess electricity. You can also automatically or manually close the bells of the air intakes and, stopping the flow of oncoming air, stop the operation of the wind generator. At the front end of the pipe, a protective grill (Fig. 1 position 5) and / or an air intake (Fig. 1 position 4) can be installed.

Several of these devices, located on a car or a refrigerator booth, can generate 5 or more kilowatts, without creating any windage, and, therefore, without slowing down the car and not increasing fuel consumption.

As an experimental model, a fan was taken from a 12-volt computer power supply. It was installed in a polymer pipe with a diameter of 100 mm, and its supply wires were connected to a voltmeter. A voltmeter was placed inside the cab, and the pipe was mounted on the roof. As a result of the tests, the following was recorded. The fan is far from

the optimal shape when driving stably generates voltage, and at a speed of 90 km per hour it reaches 12 volts. Of course, when installing a more advanced wind generator and a special pipe with a conical air intake, you can get this result at a speed of 30 km per hour. But even this primitive model showed the significant effectiveness of this method of generating electricity using a stream of oncoming air. At the same time, the car's handling has not deteriorated, and gasoline consumption has remained at the same level.

Miniature wind generators can even be built into the side mirrors and, bypassing the batteries, heat the thermal element attached to the inside of the mirror and prevent it from fogging or icing. Thus, the use of the proposed devices on vehicles using the oncoming air flow generated during movement significantly saves non-renewable energy sources: gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, coal, etc., without affecting the speed of this vehicle (of course, if to exclude gigantomania and not install huge wind generators that give the vehicle unnecessary windage). Moreover, the installation location of this wind generator does not matter (it can be located both on the roof and on the bottom of the vehicle) on the hood, radiator or sides. Everywhere where a flow of oncoming air will form during movement.
