Abstract:
1. A wind-driven charging system, comprising: a wind-driven rotation device having a rotor; a rotatable shaft having a length extending along a rotation axis that extends away from the wind-driven rotation device; a coupling for operatively coupling the rotor of the wind-driven rotation device to the rotatable shaft such that, in response to rotation of the rotor of the wind-driven rotation device, the rotatable shaft rotates at a different rotation rate than the rotor of the wind-driven rotation device; and at least three electric generators each disposed at a different longitudinal location along the length of the rotatable shaft, and each of the at least three electric generators are rotationally driven simultaneously by the rotatable shaft, and wherein each electric generator includes a wheel having an outer circumference, wherein the outer circumference of the wheel rides along an outer circumferential surface of the rotatable shaft as the rotatable shaft rotates.
