  • Publication number: 20250303926
    Abstract: The present invention is a self-charging electric vehicle system. The system comprises a pair of rechargeable batteries, an electric generator, and a battery monitoring module. The batteries alternately provide power to the electric motor of the vehicle, enabling at least one battery to be always available for operation while the other is being recharged. The generator is operatively connected to the vehicle's wheels and braking system and converts kinetic energy from motion into electrical energy to recharge the batteries. The battery monitoring module manages energy flow, monitors battery charge levels, and automatically (i.e., autonomously) switches between batteries when the active battery's charge falls below a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20250282243
    Abstract: An electric vehicle (EV) battery emergency charging system is disclosed. The system comprises a sealed housing containing a rechargeable battery pack, an EV battery charging port, USB ports, a hand crank, and a digital display. The system is adapted to be recharged using traditional electric supplies or through a foldable and detachable solar panel. The hand crank can be used to generate electrical energy, transformed by a magneto, to recharge the internal battery pack. The generated power can be used to recharge the EV battery or power other appliances via USB ports. A battery management system provides safe charging and discharge cycles rechargeable battery pack. The system offers a reliable solution for emergency EV charging in emergency situations without reliance on charging stations.

  • Patent number: 10478787
    Abstract: A brine maker including a hopper having an open upper end and an open lower end with the hopper being configured to receive salt therein. A solids screen is positioned at the lower end of the hopper. A receiving tank having an open upper end is positioned below the solids screen. An overflow tube is positioned in the hopper and has an upper end positioned below the upper end of the hopper. When the level of salt brine reaches the upper end of the overflow tube, the salt brine will overflow into the overflow tube and will pass downward therethrough the solids screen and into the receiving tank. The invention includes a second embodiment wherein an overflow panel with an upper end is positioned in the hopper thereby creating a passageway into which brine overflow may pass thereinto and pass through the solids screen into the receiving tank.
