Abstract:
1. An A solar and wind powered rechargeable LED lighting assembly comprising: at least one LED; the at least one LED being mounted to a support; at least one solar element for creating electric power from solar power operatively associated with the support; at least one battery for storing electricity generated by the solar element; at least one wind vane operatively associated with the support; the at least one wind vane operative to turn in response to wind; a casing with an opening for controlling the entry of wind to the wind vane; a wind direction detector for controlling the opening of the casing in response to the direction of the wind; at least one motor/generator having a first mode for generating electric power from the at least one wind vane turbine; and at least one shaft operatively connected to the at least one motor/generator and the support; the motor/generator having a second mode in which the motor/generator operates to rotate the support; the at least one motor/generator being operatively connected to the at least one battery for storing electric power therein; whereby the wind direction detector controls the opening of the casing to enable the wind to turn the at least one wind vane to power the at least one motor/generator to generate electricity which recharges the at least one battery.
