V.Assistant: Ginsburg, Morris International ClassesB60L 11/16 (20060101)B60L 11/00 (20060101) AbstractThe invention is an electrical power vehicle employing one or more motion electrical generators for converting up and down, horizontal or component motion of the vehicle or its wheel structure relative to the vehicle to pulse-type power for operating a flywheel motor-generator unit which drives a flywheel via a torque damper whereby the flywheel generator provides charging power for the batteries, which in turn operate the vehicle through a motor speed control, and supplies the other vehicle circuits.A self-contained electric generator may operate at any location in the vehicle, preferably at the location of greatest vibration created by reciprocating motion when the vehicle is operated over roadways. | |
