Abstract
New and retro-fit systems utilized on a chemical fuel-powered vehicle that converts the vehicle into a hybrid chemical fuel-electric vehicle.
Claims9
A vehicle drive-train system for creating a chemical fuel-electric powered hybrid vehicle, comprising:
- (a) a driveline extending from a chemical fuel engine to at least one wheel and
- (b) a counter-rotating electric motor installed proximate the vehicle's driveline, wherein said counter-rotating electric motor comprises:
- i) a stator axle rotating in one direction and
- ii) an armature axle rotating in an opposite direction to said stator's rotation;
- and
- iii) planetary gears that reverse the direction said armature axle's rotation to match the rotational direction of said stator axle's rotation, thereby coupling the resultant common directional rotation in to the stator axle's rotation.

A vehicle drive-train system for creating a chemical fuel-electric powered hybrid vehicle, comprising:
- (a) a counter-rotating electric motor installed into or next to the vehicle's driveline or differential, wherein said counter-rotating electric motor comprises:
- i) a stator axle rotating in one direction and
- ii) an armature axle rotating in an opposite direction to said stator's rotation;
- and
- iii) planetary gears that reverse the direction said armature axle's rotation to match the rotational direction of said stator axle's rotation, thereby coupling the resultant common directional rotation in to the stator axle's rotation and
- (b) an accelerator control means, wherein said accelerator control means comprises a variable speed control that has two stages in which a first stage controls electrical power and a second stage controls chemical fuel usage power.
