摘要 |
Energy converters characterized by low manufacturing costs, high efficiency, and low weight are required to generate electric energy in vehicles. The disclosed energy converter which is arranged in or on the hub of a vehicle wheel has a generator designed as a reluctance generator. An electric energy accumulator temporarily stores the generated electric energy and, when required, uniformly transmits it to consumers. Power electronics and the electric energy accumulator are preferably also arranged in or on the wheel hub. The invention provides an efficient, light, and cost-effective energy converter system which ensures a highly reliable supply and is preferably used in light, muscle-driven vehicles.
