Title:
MEANS OF TRANSPORT WITH INCREASED RANGE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/043847
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to autonomous means of transport, and more particularly to their electrical systems with additional power supply from natural sources of energy, for example wind, and can be used in the transport industry, especially road, water and rail transport. It aims at extending the distance which a means of transport can cover without refilling from secondary sources of energy, and its construction is both simple and reliable. Aerogenerators (2) consisting of air intake pipes (3) and designed each as a 'confuser/diffuser' system in the form of a Laval nozzle are incorporated into the body (1) of the long-range means of transport. At the end of the air intake pipes (3), active propellers (4) made of a light alloy are secured on shafts connected to said aerogenerators (6) implemented on constant magnetos. The implementation of each air intake pipe (3) as a 'confuser/diffuser' system in the form of a Laval nozzle causes at its output, when the means of transport is moving, the speed of the incoming air flux to significantly increase and, as a consequence, that of the kinetic energy of the air flux rotating the light active propellers (4), which is converted into electrical energy by the aerogenerators (6) connected to the propellers. As a whole, the increased number of aerogenerators (2) enables a significant power increase for reloading the storage battery as well as a significant extension of the distance which said means of transport can cover without refilling from secondary sources of energy. Besides, the inventive system is small-sized and very simply and reliably designed.
