Description

VEHICLE POWERED BY RENEWABLE ENERGY
The present invention relates to a vehicle powered by renewable energy. The present invention is applicable to any transport system, whether land, sea or air.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many vehicles are known which totally or partially use a type of renewable energy to power them, such as vehicles powered by electrical energy accumulated in batteries, natural gas, hydrogen, solar power, biofuels, etc. Among all these vehicles it can be highlighted the vehicle manufactured by Venturi Eclectic, which is fully powered by renewable energies, mainly solar power. This vehicle has the peculiarity that it can use wind power through a wind generator, but it has the drawback that said wind generator should be mounted when the vehicle is parked. When the vehicle is in movement, the energy collection is performed via solar panels which transmit the energy for its storage in batteries.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The object of the vehicle powered by renewable energy of the present invention is to resolve the drawbacks presented by vehicles powered by renewable energy known in the state of the art, providing a vehicle capable of using the intrinsic and extrinsic energies thereof to the maximum, one of these energies being that of the wind generated by the movement of the vehicle when it is displaced. The vehicle powered by renewable energy, object of the present invention, is of the type which comprises at least one electric engine, at least one electric battery to power said engine, and a wind generator unit which includes wind power collection means and means to transform said wind power into electrical energy, and it is characterized in that the collection means are capable of collecting the air generated by the wind and the air generated by the displacement of the vehicle, so that the wind generator unit can also work with the vehicle in movement. In this way, unlike the vehicles which use renewable energies in the state of the art, the vehicle of the invention, aside from using wind power when it is parked, also uses wind power when it is in movement, thus making it possible to move the whole wind generator unit. This new concept of vehicle gives an alternative to the traditional powering methods such as hydrocarbons, which, aside from having an expiry date, emit a large quantity of polluting gases into the environment, thus favouring climate change. Advantageously, the wind power collection means comprises at least one air collector and at least one turbine .
Preferably, the wind power collection means are positioned in the front part of the vehicle. However, it should be highlighted that said collection means can also be located in any other suitable part of the vehicle.
Advantageously, the means to transform the wind power into electrical energy comprises a mechanical transmission device capable of transmitting the wind power in mechanical power, and a generator which transforms said mechanical power into electrical energy.
In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the mechanical transmission device includes a distribution belt capable of transmitting the rotational movement of the rotor of the at least one turbine to the rotor of the electric generator. It should be highlighted that instead of a distribution belt, any other suitable transmission type can be used.
Advantageously, the at least one battery is capable of storing the electrical energy from the electric generator. It can also store the wind power collected in fuel batteries, super-capacitors or any other storage system.
Additionally, the vehicle further includes solar power collection means and means to transform said solar power into electrical energy, so that the electrical energy generated can be stored in the at least one battery.
Optionally, the vehicle further provides the possibility of connecting the at least one battery to the power supply for the charging thereof.
Preferably, the vehicle further provides the possibility of using the braking power of the electric engine for the charging of the at least one battery.
Advantageously, the vehicle comprises a control system to manage, using software and hardware, the energy collection means with the at least one battery and with the electric engine.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In order to facilitate the description of the foregoing, drawings are attached wherein, schematically and only by way of non-limitative example, a case of practical embodiment of the vehicle powered by renewable energy of the invention is represented, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the vehicle equipped with the wind generator unit of the invention; and Figure 2 is a block diagram of the renewable energies control system of the vehicle. DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Making reference to figures 1 and 2, the vehicle 1 powered by renewable energy of the invention is of the type which comprises an electric engine 2, electric batteries 3 to power said engine 2, and a wind generator unit 4 which includes wind power 9 collection means 5,6 and means 7,8 to transform said wind power 9 into electrical energy.
The wind power collection means comprises an air collector 5 and three turbines 6 disposed adjacently. Said collection means are positioned in the front part of the vehicle 1.
The means to transform the wind power into electrical energy comprises a mechanical transmission device 7 capable of transmitting the wind power in mechanical power, and a generator 8 which transforms said mechanical power into electrical energy.
Said mechanical transmission device includes a distribution belt 7 capable of transmitting the rotational movement of the rotor of the turbines 6 to the rotor of the electric generator 8.
The batteries 3 of the vehicle 1 are capable of storing the electrical energy from the electric generator 8. The wind generator unit 4 can collect the air generated by the wind and the air generated by the displacement of the vehicle 1, so that it can also work with the vehicle in movement .
This new concept of vehicle gives an alternative to the traditional powering methods such as hydrocarbons, which, aside from having an expiry date, emit a large quantity of polluting gases into the environment, thus favouring climate change.
The maximum wind power is governed by the following formula: r P(wιnd ) - ~ — ry - r Ulaιr • Α A • Λ v3
Where P is the wind power, δ is the air density, A is the collection area of the wind flow from the wind generator, and s is the wind speed in the collection area.
Therefore, the average wind speed does not provide the average power which can be obtained, as it is not a linear ratio. The average power which can be obtained should be the power obtained from the sum of the instantaneous powers divided by the time. In any case, it should be borne in mind that the air should exit the energy collection means and, in consequence, must have a certain speed, which means that the efficiency of the collection system cannot ever be 100%.
Until reaching the determined speed, the vehicle 1 consumes more electrical energy from the batteries 3 than that which it is capable of using from the wind power 9; but once a certain speed is reached the wind generator unit is capable of supplying the power of the vehicle 1 and storing the surplus power in the batteries 3.
As can be observed in figure 2, to achieve a more autonomous transport system, aside from using wind power 9, the possibility is provided of connecting the vehicle 1 to the power supply 10 for the charging of the batteries 3. Likewise, to achieve a more efficient system the possibility of using the braking power 11 of the electric engine 2 and/or the installation of a solar power collection system 12 is provided.
The vehicle 1 further comprises a control system 13 to manage, using software and hardware, the energy collection means 9 to 12 with the batteries 3 and with the electric engine 2. Although in this embodiment the energy collection means 4 are positioned in the front part of the vehicle 1, it should be highlighted that they can be located at different levels and heights throughout the vehicle 1, it also being possible to combine several energy collection means 9 to 12.
Although a wind generator unit applied to land vehicles has been described, it can also apply to sea or air vehicles.
