Abstract
The present invention provides a hybrid motor comprising an engine comprising a plurality of intake valves and an auxiliary power plant in communication with the engine and a throttle valve for controlling a quantity of air into the engine wherein during operation by the auxiliary power plant the throttle valve is open and the intake valves are opened by the valve control unit.
Claims81
A hybrid motor comprising:
- an engine comprising a plurality of intake valves for primary operation as said motor;
