Inductive charging unit for electric vehicles using renewable energy
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11912144B2) describes a transportable unit designed to provide a self-contained inductive battery charger for electric vehicles. The unit includes a moveable docking pad with an access ramp for parking the vehicle, a source of renewable energy integrated into the pad, a storage battery connected to the energy source, a primary induction coil for generating an electromagnetic field, an inverter for converting current, and a current control unit to regulate the field. A secondary induction coil on the vehicle establishes a resonant inductive coupling with the primary coil, enabling the vehicle's battery to be recharged efficiently.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for manufacturing the transportable unit, involving steps such as affixing induction coils, connecting renewable energy sources, and installing circuitry for electricity transfer. The method also includes the use of solar panels and wind turbines as renewable energy sources, with mechanisms for optimizing their efficiency. The primary induction coil is capable of delivering a current with a power greater than 3 kW, ensuring effective charging of the vehicle's battery. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system for off-grid charging of electric vehicles, combining renewable energy sources with innovative technology to provide a sustainable and efficient solution for recharging electric vehicles.
