    摘要: A decentralized charging network of mobile power transmitters comprises a server, power receivers, and a fleet of deployable mobile power transmitters comprising a control system, a power source system having a charge measuring device for monitoring the charge transfer, a charging system configured to transfer charge from the power source system to the power receiver, and a communication system for communication between a power receiver, a server, and the control system. A charging request is received and processed by a server from a power receiver or an operator preparing to charge a power receiver. A qualified mobile power transmitter is identified and instructed to arrive at a location and to charge a power receiver according to charging instructions prepared by the server. The charging is monitored and, upon completion, the mobile power transmitter deactivates the charging session and informs the server.

    摘要: A compact, three-dimensional (3D) photovoltaic charging system comprising a photovoltaic unit encased in a transparent housing, a power management unit, and a support base. The photovoltaic unit having non-coplanar photovoltaic surfaces that are positioned at a relative distance and a relative orientation. Compared to conventional flat solar panels, the 3D photovoltaic charging system can collect light vertically, therefore amplifying solar module power density, defined as power output per installation footprint area. A photo-tracking, 3D photovoltaic charging system is also described, having a photovoltaic unit encased in a transparent housing, a power management unit, and means to track a source of electromagnetic radiation. The photo-tracking, 3D photovoltaic charging system tracks a moving light source, resulting in improved light flux intake, and therefore, enhanced electric power output.

    摘要: A power delivery system having a power receiver and a mobile power transmitter. The mobile power transmitter having a control system having a sensor configured to monitor status data and a processing unit; a drive system operably coupled to the control system to provide propulsion of the mobile power transmitter; a communication system configured to communicate with the power receiver or a user preparing to charge the power receiver identification information; a power source system coupled to the control system configured to provide power for transfer to the power receiver; and a charging system coupled to the control system configured to transmit power from the power storage system to the power receiver. The control system processes the communicated identification information and the monitored status data and instructs the drive system of the mobile power transmitter to relocate to a location of the power receiver.

    摘要: In an on-demand electric charge service, a plurality of mobile power transmitters or donors deliver electric charge to one or a plurality of compatible power receivers, or vice versa. Alternatively, a plurality of mobile power receivers or donors and a plurality of power receivers or recipients form nodes of a peer-to-peer charge service, such as in a hub-spoke or a block-chain configuration. A system and/or method for establishing a charge session in an on-demand electric charge service comprises a request processing unit for receiving a charge session request for one or a plurality of power receivers or one or a plurality of mobile power transmitters, and at least one user dataset or one provider dataset.

    摘要: An enclosed multi-dimensional system for converting electromagnetic (EM) energy into electricity. An enclosed EM energy converter is comprised of a housing, electric-current-producing cells, and media from a list of luminescent, transmissive, absorptive, diffusive, refractive, dispersive, conductive, and dielectric materials or a combination thereof wherein the photovoltaic cells are not directly facing the incoming EM energy. This feature enables the production of compact and easy-to-manufacture EM convertors. Multiple EM converters can be coupled in series or in parallel to maximize efficiency. EM energy sources can be used to deliver both energy and information. Active optics, adaptive optics, and optoelectronics can operably be coupled with the EM converter. The portability, scalability, and connectivity of the system make it particularly attractive for long-distance energy conversion applications may it be underground, air-based, or spaceborne.
