POWER SYSTEM FOR MODEL RAILROAD ENGINES

摘要

This invention relates to devices that enable a user to view a perspective view on a camera mounted to a model railroad train. Previously, the camera carrier wave of the camera was corrupted by inconsistent power going to the camera and interference from a model railroad engine, which is part of the model railroad train. The present invention uses a power supply circuit (14) and battery with battery management circuit to remedy the inconsistent power problem by removing spikes and gaps in power. A high gain antenna (31) remedies the interference problem by greatly increasing the reception of the camera carrier wave of the camera. Further, a battery management circuit can ensure that consistent power is provided to both the camera and the model railroad engine.

主权项

1. A system, configured to convert a first voltage on a track that powers a model train engine to a second voltage that powers a camera on a model train; the system comprising:
a first power source electrically coupled to the tracks which is configured to produce a first voltage to power the model train engine; a power supply circuit comprising a bridge rectifier in series with a voltage regulator and a battery with battery management allowing the power supply circuit to compensate for spikes and gaps in power supplied to the model railroad engine due to track anomalies; wherein the power supply circuit converts the first voltage to a second voltage; wherein the camera is powered by the second voltage.
