Abstract: Multiple vehicle heating systems are disclosed providing a multilayered heating fabric to provide thermal radiation to vehicle occupants. In one embodiment, a heating system comprises a plurality of electrical bus bars and a heating fabric. The plurality of electrical bus bars connect to a battery within a vehicle to receive electrical power. The heating fabric comprises a conductive layer, and a non-conductive layer. The conductive layer comprises a plurality of non-uniform conductive fibers disbursed within a binder. The non-uniform conductive fibers are in electrical communication with at least two of the plurality of electrical bus bars. The non-uniform conductive fibers are adapted to convert electrical power to thermal radiation. The non-conductive layer insulates the conductive layer from the vehicle.

Abstract: A solar collector includes a roller rotatably attached to a vehicle. A carrier fabric panel is attached on one end to the roller. Side guides are attached the sides of the carrier fabric panel. Solar cells are connected in series and are attached to the carrier fabric panel. The solar cells are connected to an electrical power storage system. Electrical leads are attached to the carrier fabric and electrically coupled to the solar cells. Electrical conductors are attached to the carrier fabric between the solar cells and the right and left guides or are provided with retainer strips. A slip ring connector is disposed on the roller for electrically coupling the electrical conductors to an electrical power storage system. The solar energy collected may be used to power actuatable accessories or passive systems that may draw power when the vehicle is not being operated.
