Title:
ELECTRICITY GENERATION FOR HUMAN POWERED VEHICLES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005075284
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An electric current generator for vehicles, particularly for bicycles, comprising a dynamo-alternator (12) to be fixed to the frame of the vehicle (11) close to one of its wheels (13). The dynamo-alternator (12) comprises a rotor body (16), a stator body (15a) with electrical windings (15), which are connected to a user (12b). The rotor body (16) is spaced from the wheel (13) and has, coaxially to its rotation axis, a first circular series of driven elements (21), which interacts with a complementary second circular series of driving elements (23) arranged on a radius of wheel (13). At least one of the series of elements (21, 23) is constituted by mutually alternating magnetic poles (22, 24) of opposite polarity. When the wheel (13) rotates, the driven elements (21) are caused to rotate by the driving elements (23) due to their magnetic attraction.
