Abstract
An axle has wheels, a wheel turbine and an electric motor. The electric motor is provided on the axle between the wheel turbine and each rear wheel. Each reversible rear electric motor is adapted to engage and disengage with the wheel turbine. A battery is coupled to each electric motor powered by the wheel turbine.
Claims1
An electric powered automobile/wheel turbine motor for powering a vehicle, comprising, in combination:
- a front axle with laterally spaced front wheels and a centrally located rotatable front electric motor on the front axle to drive the front wheels, rotatable pulleys on the front axle adjacent to each front wheel adapted to power an air conditioning system;
- a rear axle with laterally spaced rear wheels and a centrally located wheel turbine on the rear axle, the wheel turbine adapted to receive power by rotation of the rear wheels through motion of the vehicle in which the rear axle and the wheel turbine are located, the wheel turbine adapted to electrically power the front electric motor on the front axle, a reversible rear electric motor on the rear axle between the wheel turbine and each rear wheel, each reversible rear electric motor adapted to engage and disengage with the wheel turbine to power the wheel turbine for a four wheel drive assist, a plate attached to each rear electric motor for securement to a lower component of a supporting vehicle, the wheel turbine adapted to power a 220 volt electric outlet and a 110 volt electric outlet;
- a deep cycle battery coupled to each reversible electric motor on the rear axle for powering the rear electric motors and the wheel turbine;
- and
- a key coupled with respect to the two batteries to turn on the two batteries and the wheel turbine whereby when the key turns on the two batteries, the two batteries will turn the electric motors which will turn on the wheel turbine and engage the rear wheels to initiate motion of the vehicle, whereupon the electric motors function to maintain the correct revolutions per minute until the rear wheels reach their correct revolutions per minute, whereafter the two electric motors will maintain two charged batteries and will maintain power in all situations by turning the wheel turbine.
