Title:
APPARATUS FOR CHARGING A POWER BANK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/111581
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for charging a power bank such as a supercapacitor or battery, wherein a wheel comprising circumferentially spaced magnets of alternating polarity is caused to rotate and each circumferentially spaced magnet passes close to a wire coil located within a housing and electrically connected to the power bank, such that rotation of the wheel enables wireless (optionally physically connected) power transfer to feed harvested electric charge to the power bank. The apparatus can include a control means which is a magnetisable pin inserted into a solenoid, and/or a DC motor to drive the rotor at an optimised speed, and/or comprises a housing with a geocrystalline material comprising a soda lime glass and a geopolymer. The system can be driven by air or water and is particularly useful for small scale energy generation from wind or water sources, and to charge a battery and/or supercapacitor within an electric vehicle.
