The electric vehicle can be run without any need to stop for its charging while reducing the drag caused by the turbines on a moving vehicle by providing overhead curved surface before the turbine to direct the flow of air for maximum efficiency. The energy emitted by the air conditioning vents of the vehicle is not wasted. The hot air emitted is used to give the turbines a starting rotational movement which further reduces the initial force needed to start the turbine when the vehicle just starts, and also helps in eliminating discontinuous charging of the batteries when vehicle slows down or it stops.

NOVELTY - Invention relates to sources of energy, in particular, to air-aluminium fuel batteries. The technical result of the invention is an increased specific capacity of a fuel battery due to reduction of its dimensions. The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that electrodes are made in the form of an elastically joined set of plates, forming a flat compression spring, which, being released by a triggering mechanism, compresses and disturbs tightness of an elastic reservoir with electrolyte, which, while leaking from the reservoir, fills an electrode-to-electrode space, at the same time the elastic reservoir with electrolyte is pierced by pins installed inside it, which in the process of activation enter the holes made in the electrodes, and the pins are made in the form of perforated tubes.    USE - Power engineering.    ADVANTAGE - Method to activate a fuel battery makes it possible to increase the specific capacity of a fuel battery as a result of reduction of its dimensions due to the fact that before activation of the battery an elastic reservoir with electrolyte occupies the working volume of the battery, which is free from electrodes by means of their compression.3 cl, 3 dwg
NOVELTY - The system (1) has output circuit (21-26) that outputs transmission signal for transmitting information on physical quantity to indicate state of switching element (11-16), and abnormality of switching element. Isolating element (31-36) transmits transmission signal in electrically isolated state. Signal transmitted through isolating element acts as input to filter (51-56) to delete information on physical quantity from signal. Signal transmitted not through filter acts as input to control circuit (40). Shutdown circuit (60) shuts down power supply to switching element.    USE - Power conversion system used for inverter control system for driving electric motor of vehicle such as hybrid vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - Since the information on the physical quantity and the information on abnormality are transmitted by the shared transmission signal, the transmission path and the isolating element used to transmit the information on the physical quantity and the information on abnormality are shared. Thus, the information on abnormality is transmitted at the lower frequency than the frequency at which the information on the physical quantity is transmitted. Hence, it is possible to efficiently transmit the information on the physical quantity that has a larger data volume than the information on abnormality, and secure a space for the circuit board which leads to easy cost reduction.
