The
invention
- The
problem to be solved:
The main aim was to design a useful and
handy power source that is always
available indoor or on the way to supply
portable equipment without requiring to
hold it in the hand or to occupy an extra
place.
|
- Definition:
The object of the invention is a
waistcoat with solar cells installed on
the outer surface of it and rechargeable
light batteries are put into both
pockets. The solar cells continuously
charge the batteries through a control
circuit when they are exposed to a proper
intensity light.
|
- Presentation:
The electric waistcoat can the
same way be used as a normal one. Putting
it on and wearing it outdoor the daylight
is converted by the solar cells into
electric energy that is used to charge
the batteries put into the pockets. The
obtained electric energy can immediately
be used to supply any electric appliances
if their consumption falls into the range
of the available battery capacity or it
can be stored for later use. In some
occasions this electric energy can be
used to increase the available capacity
of an other power source which can not
cover the full consumption.
|
- Application:
It can be used anywhere and any time when
electric supply required, within its
capacity limits and with fully charged
batteries, indoor and outdoor, on the
way, to obtain additional energy and/or
to supply electric appliances.
|
- Advantages:
After the firs investment costs no other
input required, the electric energy is
free of charge. It is environment
friendly because it does not exhaust
harmful products nor requires any input
energy, but light. Due to its sealed
batteries no corrosive electrolyte can
escapes.
The electric energy produced by the
electric waistcoat is always available,
even in case of mains failure or when
electric energy is required in the field,
far from mains supply facilities, since
the batteries are charged continuously.
It is lightweight and easy to use, it
does not require special storage and
large storage room, simply, hang it up.
|
- Stage
of development:
The prototype is already available, it is
properly designed for mass production.
|
- Documentation
available: Yes.
