Retractable Wind-Powered Generator Device for Vehicles
Wind-powered generator devices, systems, and methods are described that include a wind turbine, an electrical converter to convert variable frequency power output from the wind turbine to fixed frequency electricity for storage in a vehicle or other battery or to power an electrical device, a support member to which the wind turbine is attached, a mounting device to which a bottom end of the support member is attached, wherein the mounting device attaches the wind-powered generator device to a vehicle or another object or a surface, and an elevating device that includes a first connection to which a bottom end of the support member is attached and a second connection to which the mounting device is attached. The wind turbine and support member are configurable in a vertical operating position that is raised and in a horizontal retracted position that is lowered when the wind turbine not in operation.

POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND POWER SUPPLY METHOD
Provided is a power supply system configured to supply AC power to a building. The power supply system includes a discharge assembly which is connectable to a discharge port provided in a vehicle. The discharge assembly includes a first end which receives electric power from the discharge port connected thereto, and a second end which outputs AC power. The second end of the discharge assembly is connected to the building by a single-phase three-line wiring.
Wired/wireless integrated power reception system
The present disclosure relates to a wired/wireless integrated power reception system provided in a vehicle, the wireless/wireless integrated power reception system including: a wired power reception apparatus configured to receive power from a transformer in a wired power receiving mode; a relay unit, which upon detecting reception of wireless power from a wireless power transmission pad, is configured to switch to a wireless power receiving mode; and a wireless power reception pad configured to receive power by magnetic coupling in the wireless power receiving mode.
Photovoltaic and electromagnetic powered mobile electric vehicle charging station
A mobile charging station generating electricity by an Enclosed Photovoltaic Device and electromagnetic energy receiving unit, mounted on top of an Electric Vehicle Platform or chassis, housing a power storage system, inverters, power outlets and wireless power transmitters to provide electricity to the electric vehicle platform and other electric vehicles. This mobile charging station is configured to be autonomously driven to any location where vehicles can be recharged at any time.

Converter module with phase shift
A converter module is provided with a first power delivery circuit, a second power delivery circuit, and a controller. The first power delivery circuit supplies current from a first direct current (DC) source to a resonant stage in a first direction. The first power delivery circuit comprises at least two first switches. The second power delivery circuit supplies the current from the first DC source to the resonant stage in a second direction, opposite the first direction. The controller includes memory, and a processor that is programmed to: enable the first power delivery circuit and the second power delivery circuit alternately to provide power as a periodic waveform to the resonant stage; and disable the at least two first switches individually in a sequence to generate a phase shift in the periodic waveform and to disable the first power delivery circuit.
