Abstract
A hybrid steam power drive system that uses electrical motors to power any type of vehicle. It includes a steam unit that drives a steam turbine that turns a generator to provide electricity directly to the electrical drive motors and continually charge a battery/capacitor bank which can also provide energy to the electrical drive motor(s). With this system the battery/capacitor bank is continually being charged and does not have to periodically be plugged into a power source to charge the battery/capacitor bank. It also provides an accessory outlet to power external needs when the vehicle is not in motion.
Claims9
A hybrid steam power drive system for rotating wheels or propellers a vehicle, including electrical motors powered by at least one battery and including a steam unit, steam being produced by passing a continuous flow of water between and around three electrodes to which a three phase power voltage is applied, and a steam turbine for driving a generator which provides an electrical power source for charging the battery, a water tank for supplying water to the steam unit, the water being converted to steam to drive the steam turbine, and said electrical motors for turning wheels which move the vehicles.
A hybrid steam power drive system including electrical motors which are battery driven, the battery charged by a generator which is turned by a steam turbine, the steam supplied to the steam turbine is from a steam unit in which the steam is produced by inserting a continuous flow of water into a housing containing “single to three phase” convertible electrical conductors, when a voltage is applied to the electrical conductors, current flows through the water in the housing and converts the water to steam, electrical motors attached to and turning a shaft which rotates and turns a driving and moving device for, but not limited to, Automobiles, trucks, buses, motor homes, motorcycles, locomotives, water vessels, and airplanes.
