Abstract
A wind powered global positioning tracking device, which is disposed on a vehicle, and includes a wind driven generator, a power regulating circuit, a central processing unit, a charging circuit, a rechargeable battery, a general packet radio service module and a global positioning system receiver module. When in use, the power regulating circuit converts electricity generated by the wind driven generator to provide electric energy to the central processing unit, the general packet radio service module and the global positioning system receiver module. Furthermore, the electric energy is input into the charging circuit to charge the rechargeable battery. Accordingly, when there is no wind for the wind driven generator to generate electricity, the charging circuit can be placed in an electric discharge state controlled by the central processing unit, thereby enabling the rechargeable battery to continue supplying electric energy, thus ensuring normal operation of the global positioning tracking device.
