Abstract:
1. An Air Electric vehicle comprising: one or more wheels; a first dc electric motor operable to propel the Air Electric Vehicle by providing torque to one or more wheels; a second dc electric motor operable to propel the Air Electric Vehicle by providing additional torque to one or more wheels; a first internal storage battery operable to supply power to the first and second direct current (DC) electric motor; a second internal battery operable to supply power to the first storage battery; a Rechargeable Electrical Storage System (RESS) that consists of the first internal battery connected to the second internal battery in parallel; an internal wind turbine generator operable to supply charging voltage a second internal storage battery; a propeller fixed to the shaft of the internal wind turbine generator; an internal air duct connected to the air electric vehicle in a fixed position in front of the propeller of the internal wind turbine generator, operable to deflect air towards the propeller while the vehicle is traveling forward in motion; an internal belt and pulley system (BPS) that consists of two or more pulleys or gears in common to a belt or chain; an internal air motor operable to provide mechanical power to the belt and pulley system; an internal air motor and an internal wind turbine generator are connected to the internal belt and pulley system (BPS); the shaft of the air motor is connected to the first gear or first pulley of the BPS; the shaft of the wind turbine generator is connected to the second gear or second pulley of the BPS in which both gears or both pulley are common to a belt or chain within the BPS; one or more air tanks connected in series operable to: store compressed air, and supply compressed air to the air motor; an air release valve connected to the inlet of the air motor operable to release a controlled amount of compressed air from the air tank or air tanks to the air motor; an internal air compressor that accepts power from the first battery; and supplies compressed air into the air tank or air tanks; one or more air hoses that connects the outlet of the air compressor to the inlet of the air tank; one or more hoses that connects the outlets of one or more air tanks to the inlet of the air release value; a hose to connect the outlet of the air release valve to the inlet of the air motor; an accelerator-pedal connected to the air electric vehicle which consists of a variable resistor operable to control the speed of the first and second DC electric motors by adjusting the current to the first DC electric motor and adjusting the current to a second DC electric motor; a break-pedal connected to the air electric vehicle operable to discontinue current to the first and second DC electric motor; a controller that serves as the Central Control Unit (CCU), operable to: control the electrical power from the first and second batteries, control the mechanical power between the air compressor, air motor, wind turbine generator, control the speed of the first and second dc electric motors; control the current that passes thru the accelerator-pedal, and control the voltage level applied to the DC electric motors.
