Patent
·
OSTI ID:5903324
The engine of an automotive vehicle is powered by an assembly of electric batteries which are recharged from time to time, on standstill or during driving, from various sources including a set of solar cells on the vehicle body, braking generators driven by the vehicle wheels on deceleration, and external power supplies. Both the batteries and the solar cells can be selectively connected in series and in parallel, the former particularly during recharging. The batteries are grouped in thermally insulated blocks of molded resin with channels, left from the injection-molding operation, accommodating ancillary equipment such as electronic switches mounted on cooling bars.
