Abstract

A magneto-charged power system for a vehicle, comprising a battery and a bank of ultracapacitors in parallel.

Claims

1. A magneto-charged power system comprising:

a) a battery;

b) a plurality of ultracapacitors forming an ultracapacitor bank whose effective voltage rating is greater than the voltage rating of said battery and is connected in parallel to said battery;

c) a first set of conductors for connecting the said system to a magneto, said magneto connected in series with said system for charging said system; and

d) a second set of conductors for connecting said system to a load for conducting power.

2. A magneto-charged power system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said battery is a valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery.

4. A magneto-charged power system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, internal resistance of battery is greater than internal resistance of capacitor.

5. A magneto-charged power system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said magneto charges said battery.

6. A magneto-charged power system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said magneto charges said ultracapacitor.

7. A magneto-charged power system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said system includes a switch.

8. A magneto-charged power system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said switch is a solenoid switch.

3. A magneto-charged power system as claimed in claim I which includes a plurality of ultracapacitors joined together in series to form a capacitor bank with cumulative voltage rating which is higher than the voltage rating of said battery.
