LEDTRICITY
NOW AVAILABLE FOR LICENSING,
COULD SOON TRANSFORM HOW THE WORLD IS ILLUMINATED
The present invention LEDTRICITY tm. U.S. & P.C.T. Foreign Patents Pending.
Uses a combination of various electrical principles, unique wiring circuits and state of the art components, to produce a unique, and safe, low voltage/current output. The systems operation results in increased efficiency and long running life. The systems are small and compact and should prove to be relatively inexpensive to manufacture and produce.
The Illumination of LED's or (Light Emitting Diodes) using the LEDtricity system results in the ability to use extremely long inexpensive wires to illuminate hundreds to thousands of LED's. To date several prototypes have been tested at over 2,000 feet each circuit x 4 = 8,000 ft. on 4 pairs of 24 gauge wires, illuminating 700 super bright LED's. However, positive results were also achieved at over 6,500 feet each circuit (over 1 mile). Additionally combining the LED’s with a new special storage cells equals no batteries to replace, and greater than 500,000 charge cycles, no critical memory problems as with batteries, and they are earth friendly and can be thrown away in the land fill.
LEDtricity tm. Solar Powered System uses a small inexpensive single array of solar panels to charge a deep cycle storage battery during the day that runs the LEDtricity tm. systems day or night.
The present invention is a breakthrough in wiring methods and has the ability to travel vast distances from the (solar array and storage battery location). where typical D.C. or direct current is limited to short lengths.
Imagine a home of 1,500sq.ft. And the LEDtricity tm. system and storage battery are inside the garage and the solar array on the roof, the output circuits branch out in all directions to the LED’s installed throughout the home, stairs, closets, hallways, over toilets, sinks and showers, whole rooms ceilings, artwork, drawers, counters, cabinets, driveway, garden, pathways, pool and pond, etc. This scenario would be ideal to illuminate the entire home and property on solar power thereby the system would pay for it’s self over time and serve as emergency back up lighting in the event of utility failure.
Other LEDTRICITY concepts
LEDtricity Bicycle System virtual frictionless operation, never needs batteries, operates LED Headlights, tail and signal lights, charges cell phones, Ipods, etc.
LEDtricity Low Velocity Wind System No transmission or braking required, as little as 7 mph operation,
LEDtricity Low Volume Hydro System, ½” pipe at 30 P.S.I. standard home water pressure produces enough force to operate the generator.
LEDtricity Hand Crank System, Low RPM requirements reduce work and the gearing necessary for standard hand cranks to achieve charging voltage.
LEDtricity LED Street Signal Lighting and LED Road Sign Lighting
Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Marine, Auto, Security, Advertisements, more.
All LEDtricity concepts have been tested and developed through "Proof of concept prototypes". Designed and built by the inventor Ted Bristow
