Abstract
Wheels may be equipped with a stator and rotor to induce current to generate electricity as the wheels rotate or to slow down the wheels in response to the application of a brake of the vehicle. Air may be sucked through the wheels through mesh screens to create air flow that passes through ductwork to reach a turbine generator, which generates electricity in response to blade rotation from air flow. A roof mounted solar energy conversion system may generate electricity. A vehicle power supply boosts its energy from all the electricity generated.
Claims16
A self rechargeable synergy drive apparatus of a motor vehicle equipped with a power supply and a plurality of wheels, comprising:
- conductive elements within confines of at least one wheel;
- induction means for generating a magnetic field in proximity of the conductive elements during the rotation of the at least one wheel;
- a motor/generator circuit means for passing electrical current from the power supply to the induction means and for passing induced electrical current from the induction means to said power supply as an energy boost;
- throttle pedal means for moving into and out of a throttle position that speeds rotation of the wheels of the motor vehicle;
- brake pedal means for moving in and out of a braking position that slows or stops the wheels of the motor vehicle under certain traveling speed conditions;
- eddy current braking means responsive to said brake pedal moving into the brake position to send electrical current from the power supply to the induction means to create eddy currents to resist continued rotation of the at least one wheel and to generate heat and for ceasing to send the electrical current to the induction means and thereby cease creation of the eddy currents in response to release of said brake pedal means from the braking position, said motor/generator circuit means passing induced electrical current from the induction means to said power supply as the energy boost independent of the throttle pedal means moving in and out of the throttle position so as to allow the passing of the induced electrical current from the induction means to said power supply even as the throttle pedal means remains in the throttle position;
- and
- fan blades rotatable in unison with rotation of the wheel to create airflow that passes through the at least one wheel and takes away the heat generated by the eddy currents.
