Patent ID: 8376071

Claim:
A land vehicle comprising: a chassis, a body, at least one driven wheel of at least three wheels, direct current (DC) power storage, and one DC reversible field motor (DCRFM) controlled by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) driving each said driven wheel in motor polarity and converting vehicle kinetic energy in a reverse field braking polarity into regenerated DC fed into said DC power storage; each said DCRFM possessing an internal permanent magnet rotor and external stator with field windings comprised of three winding wires with DC supplied thereto in motor polarity, and derived there from in braking polarity, through two of said three winding wires by said ECU in simulation of alternating current (AC) in motor polarity and dissimulation of AC into DC in reversed field braking polarity; each said DCRFM having an output shaft coupled through planetary gearing to one said driven wheel; wherein the DCRFM is positioned inward of the planetary gearing; whereby the need for a conventional drive train with central transmission splitting drive to two wheels is obviated and fully electric drive with regenerative braking is provided.
