International ClassF02G 003/02AbstractThis invention relates to the use of the exhaust of an internal combustion engine to contribute to forward motion by a pneumatic device connected directly to the drive train and a motor generator connected to the drive train to contribute to acceleration and to provide regenerative braking. All of the automobiles electrical needs are supplied by recaptured momentum when driving conditions allow. Surplus electricity is stored to further contribute to acceleration.Field of SearchFLUID MOTOR MEANS DRIVEN BY WASTE HEAT OR BY EXHAUST ENERGY FROM INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINEFluid motor means is expansible chamber type with movable parts of motor and engine being interconnected Supercharging means driven by engine exhaust actuated motor System of plural motors having a common output structure Heating of combustible mixture | |
