Abstract
The power system for a electric vehicle supplying electrical energy to the batteries and motors, and to take the power load off the batteries, with the rear wheels to drive couplers and shafts and to drive the alternators and generators to supply a constant supply of electrical energy to the batteries and motors.
Claims1
A power energy recovering system for an electric vehicle having two front wheels and two rear wheels comprising:
- (a) two electrically driven motors, each connected to the front wheels for
- driving the front wheels which in turn drive the two rear wheels;
- (b) a bank of batteries for supplying power to a controller for controlling power
- feeding to start said two electrically driven motors;
- (c) two generators, each connected to the corresponding rear wheel through a shaft and a flexible coupler for converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical energy;
- (d) two step-up transformers having primary and secondary sides, each of the primary sides is connected to the corresponding generator and each of the secondary sides is connected to a corresponding voltage regulator for regulating the constant voltage to the controller so that the controller can also shut down the feeding from the batteries;
- and
- (e) two ac alternators, each having rectifier and transistorized regulator connected to the corresponding generator for controlling the voltage to charge the batteries.
