, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to the field of electric powered three wheeler vehicle, and more specifically, to electric powered vehicles which utilize the solar energy, wind energy, and battery to generate the energy required for propulsion
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Three wheel rickshaw or three-wheeled passenger cart have been the subject of continuous engineering development from the past century. Conventional three-wheeled vehicles have two wheels in back and one in front of the vehicle and use in transportation.
With the passing of the time these conventional rickshaw has been evolve and now days it is driven by electric motor, and also the capacity of these vehicle has also increase. In the contrast of modern world fuel consuming vehicle to the pollution free vehicle like electric rickshaw is important embodiment from the point of invention. Manually driven cycle rickshaws are as such known in the art. There are disadvantages associated with the manual cycle rickshaw as such known in the art. The main disadvantage is that driver has to put a lot of efforts to drive the cycle rickshaw. Another disadvantage is that the brake system in the conventional cycle rickshaw is merit only for front wheel but not for the rear wheels and therefore during the sudden application of the brakes the cycle rickshaw over turns. Still another disadvantage is that the chain usually slips either from the free wheel or from the sprocket.
In the Indian Patent Application Number 753/DEL/1997 inventor ANIL KUMAR RAJVANSHI describe about the electric cycle rickshaw. Pedestals are provided between the chassis and said rear axle of the cycle rickshaw so as to provide spring action to said chassis. Electric drive means are mounted on the said chassis for providing drive to the rear wheels of the rickshaw. Brake means are mounted on the shaft of the rear wheels to stop the cycle rickshaw as and when required. But following are the disadvantage in electric cycle rickshaw.
The conventional electric motorcycle, electric tricycle (i.e. electric two, tricycle) only remain in the condition of a battery as a power, a one-time charge only travel tens of kilometers, once charge is finish driver need to move it manually to the garage. some manufacturers at the most in a roof rack solar panels, but due to the low efficiency of solar panels and affected by the weather, as only a small amount of electricity is very small extended range, resulting in a high cost but poor circumstances and therefore not widely used.
In the Chinese patent application CN103523150, the inventor Shen Qiyao disclose about the novel comprehensive energy electric bicycle and tricycle using solar energy and wind energy.
The main disadvantages of using wind energy of the prior art inventions are the following: in some hybrid tricycle wind energy is used to provide electric energy to the motor, however the strength of the wind is not constant and it varies from zero to storm force. This means that wind turbines do not produce the same amount of electricity all the time. There will be times when they produce very less electricity to run the vehicle. And if the vehicle is run by only wind energy then it is very difficult to pick up the vehicle to initial speed.
In the above mentioned references and many other similar references has one or more of the following shortcomings: (a) durability (b) brake problem; (c) risk factor such as slips (d) inefficient; (e) expensive; (f) high effort ; (g) Discontinuity in power supply and (h) a single power source.
The present application addresses the above mentioned concerns and short comings with regard to providing a tribrid vehicle having three different sources of energy, such as solar energy, wind energy, and regular electricity.

The batteries are stored in an insulated compartment. These battery chargers dissipate heat while converting the alternating current into direct current. These have transformers which get heated while functioning. The solar panels 101 are mounted using any or combination of these three methods. All of these methods are based on the angular variations of the location of the sun in the horizontal and vertical planes. The idea is to keep the solar rays, as far as possible, perpendicular to the panel and also, to make the incident light on the reflectors attached to the panels, reflected onto the panels. There are multiple solar panels 101 of 56 watts each used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. Wind blades are facing outward and the axle connected to the generator103. The generator 103 produces AC current which is converted to DC by the hybrid charge controller 106.One embodiment of the present invention is charge the plurality of the battery 104 by using external electricity source108. The facility of the charging is provided through conventional charging point 107.
