Patent ID: 10298038

Abstract:
A circuit for use with an external power source and at least one load. The circuit includes a Hydro-Pyroelectrodynamic (“H-PED”) storage/capture device (“SCD”), a plurality of contacts, and a recharging device. The H-PED SCD stores electrical energy and is configured to discharge power to at least one output contact of the plurality of contacts. The plurality of contacts also include an input contact configured to be connected to the external power source. The recharging device is configured to be powered by the external power source when the external power source is connected to the input contact and supplies power thereto. The recharging device is operable to charge the H-PED SCD when powered by the external power source. The recharging device may be an infrared light emitting diode configured to generate incident infrared radiation operable to charge the H-PED SCD.
