BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to power generation, and particularly to a portable generator for generating electrical energy from wind and solar energy.

2. Description of the Related Art

Due to the costs and environmental concerns related to the burning of fossil fuels, alternative power generation systems are of great interest, particularly in the form of power generators based on inexhaustible resources, such as ambient wind and solar energy. Although a wide variety of solar energy systems have been developed, harnessing wind power effectively has been problematic. Due to the nature of the weather in general, wind can come from any direction, thus static wind-driven turbines are often facing in the wrong direction to make full use of the wind's power. Further, such systems tend to be very large scale and are extremely difficult to transport to new locations. Thus, a portable wind and solar power generator solving the aforementioned problems is desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The portable wind and solar power generator is a portable system for charging rechargeable batteries and providing power for external devices from wind and solar energy. The portable wind and solar power generator includes a housing for receiving at least one turbine and at least one electrical generator linked to the at least one turbine such that the at least one turbine can be driven to rotate by ambient wind, thus driving the at least one electrical generator to generate electrical power. Further, at least one solar panel is mounted on an exterior of the housing. The housing is rotatably mounted on an upper surface of a hollow base which houses at least one rechargeable battery. The at least one rechargeable battery is in electrical communication with the at least one electrical generator and the at least one solar panel for charging thereof. A wind vane is further mounted on a rear end of the housing. The wind vane causes ambient wind to rotate the housing, with respect to the hollow base, such that the ambient wind impinges upon the at least one turbine to drive the at least one electrical generator.

These and other features of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a portable wind and solar power generator 10, which is a portable system for charging rechargeable batteries and providing power for external devices from wind and solar energy. The portable wind and solar power generator 10 includes a housing 31 for receiving at least one turbine 36 and at least one electrical generator 32 linked to the at least one turbine 36 such that the at least one turbine 36 can be driven to rotate by ambient wind, thus driving the at least one electrical generator 32 to generate electrical power. In FIGS. 1 and 2, six such turbines 36 are shown arrayed within a rectangular housing 31, with the turbines 36 being arrayed in two vertical columns of three turbines. It should be understood that this arrangement is shown for exemplary purposes only. Any desired number of turbines may be arrayed in any suitable configuration within housing 31. Additionally, housing 31 may have any suitable contouring and relative dimensions, and it should be understood that the number of turbines 36, their arrangement, and the overall configuration of housing 31 are shown for exemplary purposes only.

As shown, a front funneling frame 26 may be provided adjacent a front end of each of turbines 36 (and adjacent a front end 56 of housing 31) for funneling ambient wind thereto. It should be understood that the contouring and relative dimensions of front funneling frames 26 are shown in FIG. 1 for exemplary purposes only. Additionally, as shown, at least one solar panel 34 is mounted on an exterior of the housing 31. In FIG. 1, the entire exterior frame of housing 31 is shown covered with solar panels 34. It should be understood that the number, type and arrangement of solar panels 34 is dependent upon the particular needs and desires of the user.

The housing 31 is rotatably mounted, by a rotating support 42, on an upper surface 52 of a hollow base 38. It should be understood that any suitable type of rotatable mounting or pivot may be used for the rotation of rotating support 42. The hollow base 38, as shown in partial cut-away in FIG. 2, houses at least one rechargeable battery 50. It should be understood that any suitable number and type of rechargeable batteries 50 may be contained within hollow base 38. As shown in FIG. 5, the at least one rechargeable battery 50 is in electrical communication with the at least one electrical generator 32 and the at least one solar panel 34 for charging thereof. Returning to FIGS. 1 and 2, a wind vane 12 is further mounted on a rear end 58 of the housing 31. The wind vane 12 causes ambient wind to rotate the housing 31, with respect to the hollow base 38 via rotating support 42, such that the ambient wind impinges upon the at least one turbine 36 to drive the at least one electrical generator 32.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, each turbine 36 is mounted on an axle 29, which is fixed to a corresponding gear 28. Each gear 28 engages a corresponding gear 30, which drives the electrical generator 32. It should be understood that any suitable type of electrical generator and any suitable type of gear arrangement or linkage may be utilized for the driving of the electrical generator 32.

Additionally, a pair of static supports 40 and a pair of wheels 14 are preferably mounted to rear and front ends, respectively, of a lower surface 54 of the hollow base 38. A handle 16 is preferably mounted on a rear end 62 of the hollow base 38, allowing the user to easily lift the rear end 62 and transport the portable wind and solar power generator 10 via wheels 14.

Further, as best shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, a charge gauge 60 is preferably mounted on the hollow base 38 for showing a charge status of the at least one rechargeable battery 50. Further, electrical outlets 21, 22 are preferably in electrical communication with the at least one rechargeable battery 50, allowing the user to connect an external device thereto. It should be understood that electrical outlets 21, 22 are shown for exemplary purposes only, and any desired number and type of electrical outlets may be provided. As shown, a universal serial bus (USB) port 18 may also be provided for providing power to portable devices. Power may be provided to external devices selectively by an on-off switch, such as switch 23, or the like. Additionally, one or more indicators, such as exemplary lights 20, 24, may be provided to indicate to the user that power is being delivered directly from the electrical generators 32 and/or the solar panels 34, or from the rechargeable batteries 50. It should be understood that an AC/DC power converter may be provided, in communication with the rechargeable batteries 50 and the outlets 21, 22, as is well known in the art.

It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
