Battery Powered Generator

Abstract

A battery powered generator. The battery powered generator has a housing including a rechargeable battery. A pedal assembly, a wind turbine, and at least one solar panel are removably securable to the housing, enabling a user to choose any combination of which to recharge the battery. When secured to the housing, the pedal assembly, the wind turbine, and the at least one solar panel are operably connected to the rechargeable battery. A subpanel and an electrical panel are also operably connected to the rechargeable battery. An automatic transfer switch is operably connected to the electrical panel, the rechargeable battery, and the subpanel, and can control a flow of. The battery powered generator can be recharged by a variety of devices, or a combination thereof, to provide an uninterrupted flow of electricity in the event the electrical panel is unable to

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a battery-powered generator that can be used to provide electricity if a home's power panel fails. It has a housing with a rechargeable battery, a pedal assembly, a wind turbine, and a solar panel that can be added to recharge the battery. It also has a controller that can control the flow of electricity out of the generator. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a reliable source of electricity that can be easily installed and used in case of a power outage.

Problems solved by technology

In the event of a power outage, many of these devices are rendered inoperable.

Without power, food stored in a refrigerator may thaw, defrost, or go bad.

Without power, heating and cooling device will not work, and temperatures may quickly fall outside a desired comfortable range.

Without power, lights may not work leaving people to fumble around in the dark.

All these systems, however, rely on a steady and uninterrupted source of electricity.

However, the devices in the known art have several drawbacks.

Typically, home batteries can only accommodate one form of alternate energy to charge the battery and are unable to integrate various sources of electricity together.

Some home batteries require a ramp-up time and do not provide a seamless transition between the electricity supplied by the electric grid and the switch-over to the battery.

However, these require additional parts, such as a transfer switch, which are installed in a separate unit from the battery.
