Abstract: An electricity production module comprising at least one photovoltaic panel (P), characterized in that it further comprises scaring means (E) for chasing away animals, and in particular birds, and detection means (D) capable of detecting the presence of animals that are close to or on the photovoltaic panel (P), the detection means (D), in the presence of an animal, delivering a presence signal capable of triggering the scaring means (E).

Abstract: Electrical-power generating module, characterised in that it comprises at least one wind turbine (E) having blades (E1) forming blade tips (E11) and at least one photovoltaic surface (P) comprising an undulating rigid structure (S) covered with flexible photovoltaic panels (F), the wind turbine (E) being disposed above the flexible photovoltaic panels (F) with the blade tips (E11) passing close to the flexible photovoltaic panels (F) in order to deter birds and clean the flexible photovoltaic panels (F).

Abstract: A motor vehicle including a rear bumper and a front bumper, and a protective tarpaulin system having a flexible tarpaulin for covering the vehicle and a rear shaft that is installed at the rear bumper, the tarpaulin being windable around the rear shaft. The vehicle is fitted with two longitudinal sheaths a longitudinal slot, a slider being received in each longitudinal sheath and being connected via a traction cable both to a front shaft and to a rear shaft, so that rotating the shafts causes the traction cable to be wound and unwound, thereby moving the slider in the longitudinal sheath, which slider entrains the tarpaulin that is connected to the slider.

Abstract: A motor vehicle (V), the vehicle including an outer body (E) and provided with a protective tarpaulin system including a flexible tarpaulin (1) for covering the outer body (E) at least in part. The tarpaulin (1) is windable around a drum (2) between a wound-in storage position and a wound out position. The tarpaulin includes a connection edge secured to the drum, and an opposite edge that is free. The free edge of the flexible tarpaulin includes at least one traction element (13) made of ferromagnetic material; and the vehicle (V) includes at least one magnet (4) movable under the outer body (E), the magnet (4) attracting the traction element (13) of the tarpaulin through the outer body (E) and entraining the traction element (13) of the tarpaulin, so as to bring the tarpaulin into the wound-out position of the tarpaulin by sliding over the outer body (E).
