Abstract
An automobile drive system that basically uses an electrical motor to power the vehicle includes a steam generator that drives a steam turbine that turns a generator to provide electricity to continually charge the battery that provides energy to the electrical drive motor. With this system the battery is continually being charged and does not have to periodically be plugged into a power source to charge the battery. Also, an additional generator/alternator can be driven by the electrical drive motor or steam turbine to provide additional electrical power as needed.
Claims13
An electrical automobile drive system for rotating wheels of an automobile, including an electrical motor powered by at least one battery and including a steam generator and a steam turbine for driving a generator which provides the electrical power source for charging the battery, a water tank for supplying water to the steam generator, the water being converted to steam to drive the steam turbine, and a drive shaft connected to the electrical motor for turning wheels which move the automobile.
The electrical automobile drive system according to claim wherein a generator is driven by the electrical motor and supplies power to the control unit which can be used to provide power to the control unit, the steam generator and the batteries.
An electrical automobile drive system for rotating wheels of an automobile including a steam system for turning a generator, an electrical motor driven by at least one battery charged by power from the generator, and a steam unit for rotating a steam turbine that rotates the generator.
An electrical drive system including an electrical motor which is battery driven, the battery charged by a generator which is turned by a steam turbine, the steam supplied to it is from a steam unit in which the steam is produced by inserting water into a housing which has two electrical elements which, when a voltage is applied to the electrical elements, a current flows through the water in the housing and converts the water to steam, the electrical motor powering any thing which can be attached to a drive shaft of the electrical motor and rotated or moved by the drive shaft.
