A propulsion system for a four-wheel-drive vehicle, including four independently powered, computer controlled wheel assemblies (24). A turbogenerator (10) for charging a storage battery (12). A power distribution unit with a central processing unit (18). A power-sensor harness (26). A separate air-conditioner (16) for providing cold, filtered, dehumidified-air for cooling the motor-generators (40). Floor mounted accelerator and brake pedals (82)(84) coupled with electronic means (86) for accelerating, decelerating and braking the vehicle. A fuel tank (20) for running the turbogenerator (10). A comprehensive, state of the art instrument panel with electronic and audio instrumentation covering every vital function of the propulsion system. The instrument panel is not illustrated.
A propulsion system for four-wheel drive vehicles including four independently powered, computer controlled wheel assemblies, a turbogenerator, a storage battery, a power distribution unit with a central processing unit for controlling the various functions and requirements of the four wheel assemblies. A separate air conditioner providing filtered, dehumidified, thermostatically controlled cooling air to dispel heat generated by the compound motor-generators, enabling the compound motor-generators to run at a higher voltage and current thereby increasing the horsepower of the motor-generators without increasing the size and weight. Also included is a floor mounted accelerator and brake pedals assembly with electronic means for precisely controlling the braking, stopping, speed and cruise mode of the vehicle
