Abstract

A multiblock robot system for the economical energy generation from sun and wind power, the energy storage and for the energy disposition and delivery, composed of plug connected and optional combinations of multiblock standard parts, having socket flange booster chambers with integrated units as, solar, wind rotor, control computer, checkcard reader, remote control antenna, illuminator and battery units. Rotation flange plug connections rotate the integrated units with solar surfaces and the wind rotor blades always to the optimal, perpendicular position of the sun and wind directions. The battery units are plug connected one behind the other to battery lines for the energy storage, composing checkcard controlled battery dispensers and battery changers for the self operating battery exchange and fully automatic delivery to multiblock robots, electro cars and to the public mains.
