Abstract:
1. A vehicle movement activated electrical power system comprising: a turbine that harnesses wind currents generated by a movement of a vehicle on a road, said movement of said vehicle causing said turbine to rotate; a generator coupled to the turbine, said generator configured to generate electricity from a rotation of the turbine; a local electrical power network driven by the generator and extending along the road ahead of the turbine and the vehicle; a series of electricity driven lights disposed on a corner of the road and on an intersecting road to highlight an entrance to the intersecting road; a plurality of electrical devices connected to the local electrical power network that are activated by warning signals triggered by vehicle motion; a warning sign that is illuminated from power from the local electrical power network and is disposed within sight of the road corner; a battery connected to the turbine and to the local electrical power network, said battery being charged by the turbine and to provide primary or supplementary power for the local electrical power network; and a controller connected to the local electrical power network and battery, wherein the battery, provides power to the warning sign to warn vehicles approaching the intersection that another vehicle is present, the controller includes a static data storage device and configured to control an activation state of at least one electrical device from among the plurality of electrical devices according to a look up table stored on the static data storage device of the controller, the look up table including activation information for the at least one electrical device from among the plurality of electrical devices, the activation information including at least one of a time of the day and a remaining charge level of the battery, the series of electricity driven lights include LEDs installed at one or more edges of the road corner, the series of electricity driven lights include LEDs that are disposed at the road corner, roadside LEDs that are disposed on a side of the road, and road arrow LEDs that are disposed in a traffic lane of the road, when the time of the day is day time and a remaining charge level of the battery is more than a first threshold, the controller sets the road corner LEDs and the roadside LEDs to OFF and the road arrows to ON, when the time of the day is night time and the remaining charge level of said battery is more than the first threshold, the controller sets the road corner LEDs, the roadside LEDs, and the road arrows to ON, when the time of the day is day time and the remaining charge level of said battery is more than a second threshold and less than the first threshold, the controller sets the road corner LEDs and the roadside LEDs to OFF and the road arrows to ON, when the time of the day is night time and the remaining charge level of said battery is more than the second threshold and less than the first threshold, the controller sets the road corner LEDs to OFF, and the roadside LEDs and the road arrows to ON, when the time of the day is day time and the remaining charge level of said battery is more than a third threshold and less than the second threshold, the controller sets the road corner LEDs and the roadside LEDs to OFF and the road arrows to ON, when the time of the day is night time and the remaining charge level of said battery is more than the third threshold and less than the second threshold, the controller sets the road corner LEDs and the road arrows to OFF, and the roadside LEDs to ON, and when the remaining charge level of said battery is less than the third threshold, the controller sets the road corner LEDs, the roadside LEDs, and the road arrows to OFF.
