HARNESSING POWER (ELECT) FROM MOTION TO SUPPLY OR MAINTAIN THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE EXTENDING IT'S RANGE

CAPTEUR DE POUVOIR (ELECTRIQUE) PAR LE MOUVEMENT POUR FOURNIR OU MAINTENIR POUR AUGMENTER LA PORTEE D'UN VEHICULE ELECTRIQUE

English Abstract

1. To harness motion it is known to have an opening in front of a vehicle. To
allow
the air pressure caused by forward motion into the chamber, forced upon the
fan or
propeller type object to create the rotation to create the RPMs = Electricity
by generator
or alternator which is fed through a regulator to the batteries and electric
motor. This
will extend the range of the electric vehicle. A second set of batteries will
be placed in
a suitable place on the vehicle to be charged while the 'primary' is used. The
primary
batteries are used to put vehicle in its primary motion.
2. In Aviation, principle is the same as in Part 1 (above).

Claims

CLAIMS
1. The fan is placed inside the chamber with the chamber fastened to the hood
from underneath, or in a position best suited to dispel the captured air. A
shaft is
placed in the fan or propeller type object with a pulley to connect to an
alternator or generator. In case of a propeller straight into generator to
produce
electricity if sufficient RPM's are available to produce enough at the head.
2. The properties in Claim (1) are them connected by cable to an appropriate
regulator for distribution to the motor or sets of batteries.
3. A battery charger placed on the fire wall with opening at top of the hood
for
home charging of both primary and secondary batteries while not in operation.
4. The chamber in Part (1) and Part (2) has an opening on one side for intake,
the
other side to dispel air. Pulleys are used for increasing RPM's. If needed
Ex: (3-1) (4-1)

Description

CA 02326350 2000-11-20
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege
is
claimed are defined as follows:
Motion creates the force by the movement of the atmosphere to produce
Revolutions
Per Minute (R.P.M.'s) which produce electricity. For years we have fought this
pressure
by designing vehicles to cut the drag created when we could have been
harnessing it
to produce electric energy. This application has nothing to do with wind or
wind power.
The atmosphere could be completely still. It's the motion of the object that
creates the
pressure which in turn creates the R. P. M.'s = Electricity.
One could open the grill in front of a present day vehicle or a vehicle of the
future so
that the force created from the motion enters a chamber, turning a fan or
propeller type
object to produce the spinning effect. It will produce R.P.M.'s = Electricity.
The
chamber could be placed directly under the hood and fastened or even placed on
the
roof of the vehicle. It might also be placed lower to the frame to easier
dispel the air
out under the vehicle, or in any place on the vehicle that makes the
dispelling of air
more reasonable. However the principle is applied, the harnessing of the wind
by
utilizing oncoming atmospheric air pressure to produce R.P.M.'s will produce
valuable
electric power.
With the forward motion of this type of vehicle at 110 Kilometres Per Hour it
can
produce an air force of hurricane proportions entering the chamber. If the R.
P. M.'s are
reduced from the R.P.M.'s of the chamber at a 4 to 1 ratio, it would produce a
440
Kilometre Per Hour force at the head of the alternator or generator. A 440 K.
force
would be of tornado proportions producing greatly increased R.P.M.'s =
Electricity at
110 volts or more. One could use a straight shaft with a gear related reducing
apparatus. This would be placed straight into a generator or alternator. A
belt type
apparatus could also be used for both above.
Electric batteries can be used to put the vehicle in motion to the expected
speed and
to put the vehicle at the point were R. P. M.'s are sufficient to take over
and produce
enough power.

CA 02326350 2000-11-20
My test showed approximately as follows:
40K @ 400 R. P. M.'s x 4-1 ratio 1600 R. P. M.'s at the head of the generator
60K @ 600 R. P. M.'s x 4-1 ratio 2400 R. P. M.'s at the head of the generator
80K @ 800 R. P. M.'s x 4-1 ratio 3200 R. P. M.'s at the head of the generator
100 K @ 1000 R. P. M.'s x 4-1 ratio 4000 R. P. M.'s at the head of the
generator
This test proved that it could keep a charge in the battery. In theory, it
would also
produce enough electric power to run an electric motor and charge a battery.
One
could use a comparable battery charger, placed on the fire wall, to charge
batteries
with an outlet to the outside. This would recharge at home through a 110 volt
electric
outlet. One could have a series of batteries down both sides of the vehicle,
utilizing
power from one side while recharging the other. When the battery indicated a
weak
signal, the battery usage would be switched. This would give you the range to
travel a
given distance. One may also use an alternator or any generating source. The
use of a
regulator or transformer or similar device would regulate the power to the
motor and to
the charger at top speeds over a greater distance. Battery power would be
needed to
reverse the vehicle. The battery would be placed anywhere on the vehicle as
long as
the rechargeable source could access them.
In the case of the Aviation, the craft could produce a power plant of its own.
The power
that could be generated can not be measured at this time due to their
excessive
speeds. However at these speeds the power would be self containing.
One could put two elect turbine engines strategically placed on the wing next
to the
present jet engines. The plane would use the conventional source to become
airborne. As the speed increases, the usage of the conventional engines could
be
limited so that the new elect engines could be utilized.Once enough power is
available
to sustain the electrical engines, the conventional engines could be reduced
and used
to their lowest extent. As long as the air is constantly being forced over and
under the
wing, the plane will remain aloft.

A propeller type apparatus could be used with the shaft placed directly into a
generator. This could be placed into the nose of the plane, on the underside,
or on the
roof of the air craft. It may be placed wherever air displacement does not
interfere with
the operation of the craft. A Jet or a Plane would be able to travel globally
for as long
the craft is forging forward at acceptable speeds
A plane could cruise the skies without refuelling as well this may decrease
the
number of emergency landings. As an aircraft falls from the sky, it would
continue to
generate electric power and therefore add control and distance to such
landings. In
essence, the use of such electric power for all types of aviation will
decrease travel
costs, possibly increase safety and most importantly increase productivity.
1n the case of aviation, the principle of Harnessing Motion to Produce
R.P.M.'s =
Electricity is also the sole property of this patent.
