Abstract:
1. An energy efficient vehicle propulsion design, comprising: a hydrocarbon fuel generator ( the first AC electric power motor is a 220 volt motor and is linked to a transmission of the vehicle to turn the transmission in order to propel the vehicle under various conditions; the second AC electric power motor is a 110 volt motor and powers an AC compressor and an alternator; a rheostat/variable resistor is connected between the generator and the first AC electric motor to increase or decrease AC power to the first AC electric motor so that the motor increases or decreases in speed to provide more or less torque to a transmission ( one or more batteries to store excess power generated by the generator that is not used by the first or second AC electric power motors; wherein excess power stored in the one or more batteries is supplied to the first AC electric power motor to supplement power provided by the generator when the vehicle is accelerating or in a state which requires additional power, excess power is supplied to the first and second AC electric motors when the generator is off, and excess power is used to electrically start the generator; and wherein, the hydrocarbon fuel generator continues to provide constant power during all driving conditions to the effect that the vehicle's fuel consumption is based on the equation gallons of fuel burned=miles per hour times number of hours (gallons=mph×hours).
