Abstract
An electric power generating device includes a hydraulic power unit in fluid communication with hydraulic fluid and a hydraulic piston, the hydraulic piston creating compressed air to drive a pneumatic piston, the pneumatic piston driving a pneumatic motor, the pneumatic motor driving an electric generator/alternator. The electric power generating device can further include a canister air exchange comprising a small diameter pipe wrapped perpendicular inside a small section of larger pipe which creates a pressure induced spin movement to drive an electric generator/alternator.
Claims3
An electric vehicle comprising an hydraulic/pneumatic electric power generating system comprising:
- a hydraulic power unit in fluid communication with a hydraulic piston comprising a diameter between 3 and 8 inches in a hydraulic cylinder via hydraulic fluid;
- hydraulic pressure applied to the hydraulic piston actuates, via a piston rod, a pneumatic piston, the actuation of the pneumatic piston creates pneumatic pressure in a pneumatic cylinder;
- the pneumatic pressure then drives a pneumatic motor;
- and
- the pneumatic motor is configured to operate an alternator, wherein the diameter of the hydraulic piston is smaller than a diameter of the pneumatic piston;
- and
- a canister air exchange comprising a pipe wrapped perpendicular inside a section of larger pipe configured to create a pressure induced spin movement of the canister air exchange via ball bearings to operate the alternator, and the pneumatic motor is configured to operate the alternator via a belt, chain, or gears;
- wherein the electric vehicle is a passenger automobile, sport utility vehicle, truck, pickup truck, or motorhome.
