Description

Title of the invention: Reverse Polarization Energy Harvesting System

[0001] This invention responds to the need to recover energy during the operation of electronic devices.

[0002] Unlike systems that allow the recovery of mechanical, thermal, magnetic or RF energy, and which can be incompatible or even inefficient in certain cases, this system allows energy to be recovered directly from the source battery without altering the operation of the device. The system is distinguished by its efficiency and its ability to easily adapt to different types of electronic devices.

[0003] The reverse-polarization energy harvesting system operates on a principle of electrical potential inversion, allowing energy harvesting during the use of an electronic device. The key components include batteries, capacitors, switches, as well as specific wiring. The system is designed so that the electronic device to be powered is connected exclusively to the negative terminals of the various batteries constituting the system. A specific arrangement of the connections and switches allows one or more batteries to be recharged during use of the device without altering its operation. Variants are envisaged to adapt the system to different sizes and expected consumption levels.

[0004] This system has several significant advantages over existing solutions, including greater efficiency, ease of adaptation to various electronic devices, and reduced installation and maintenance costs. In addition, it is capable of efficiently charging batteries while powering an electronic device without altering its operation.

[0005] The attached drawing [Fig.l] illustrates the invention:

[0006] With reference to this drawing, the system comprises a group of batteries 1 and 2, and a second group of batteries 3 and 4. When the device is powered via batteries 1 and 2, it is batteries 3 and 4 which are charged. When batteries 3 and 4 are used, it is batteries 1 and 2 which are charged.

[0007] The switches 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 make it possible to generate potential differences allowing the circulation of energy so that the first group of batteries discharges in reverse into the second battery bank, then discharges again in reverse into the device to be powered.

[0008] Capacitors 11 and 12 allow the different electrical charges to be stabilized. during periods of switch use.

[0009] Element 13 makes it possible to adapt the polarity to the electronic equipment that one wishes to power.
