Publication number: 20170163066Abstract: A fast charging high energy storage capacitor system jump starter is described. The jump starter apparatus incorporates a method of using extracted energy from a battery pack, such as a battery pack used with a portable power tool. The extracted energy is stored at a higher DC potential level by the capacitor system after being boosted or stepped up by a boost/convertor circuit. The stored energy is then available for use in starting a motor vehicle whose vehicle battery as become depleted such that it does not provide enough energy for its intended purposes. The disclosed system and method provide for the motor vehicle battery, combined with a fast charging high energy capacitor bank, to enable the rapid and effective way to jump start a vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2017Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: MATHEW INSKEEP, HENRY SHUM

Patent number: 9611002Abstract: A motorized bicycle includes: a frame; a plurality of wheels coupled to the frame; pedals coupled to the frame for driving at least one of the wheels; a motor coupled to the pedals and at least one of the wheels; a battery for supplying power to the motor; and a controller. When the controller determines that the motorized bicycle is traveling on a flat terrain or a decline, it enters or maintains a regeneration mode, where electric power is generated when a rider of the motorized bicycle pedals, and the electric power is used to charge the battery. When the controller determines that the motorized bicycle is traveling on an incline, it enters or maintains an assistance mode, where any regeneration of the battery is stopped, and power output from the motor is used to assist the rider in propelling the motorized bicycle forward.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: Sunluxe Enterprises LimitedInventors: Henry Shum, Adam Rand
