Patent ID: 7285896

Claim:
A motor for powering a single-axle-driven vehicle, said device comprising: a housing having a substantially cylindrical shape provided with a centrally disposed longitudinal axis and opposed end portions axially spaced therealong; an outer shell comprising a plurality of tightly wound wire coils fitted within said housing and for producing a fixed electric field; a plurality of rotatable armatures juxtaposed inside said housing and operably spaced inwardly of said outer shell, said armatures comprising a plurality of associated commutators axially disposed at outer end portions thereof, a plurality of wire coils wrapped intermediately spaced adjacent said commutators respectively, and a plurality of spring loaded brushes pressing against a selected portion of said armatures respectively, wherein said brushes are electrically coupled to said armatures coils for respectively distributing said armature coils in a circular pattern to allow a correct sequence of current flow; an elongated drive shaft having opposed end portions journaled within said armatures respectively and defining a fulcrum axis for said armature coils; a plurality of output shafts operably connected to said opposed end portions of said drive shaft and extending along a substantially horizontal plane parallel to the axis wherein said output shafts are linearly secured to the vehicle axle at said opposed ends thereof so that the vehicle axle can be selectively accelerated during operating conditions; a power supply source electrically coupled to said motor for generating current flow and inducing a reaction between a current in said fixed field and a current in said armatures respectively and to thereby generate torque and rotate said armatures in a selected radial path; and a plurality of bearings selectively spaced along said drive shaft for assisting to reduce friction force during operating directions; wherein said armatures define an epicyclical train for connecting said drive shaft in a linear path so that a driving force can be equally divided between the vehicle wheels to thereby permit one vehicle wheel to revolve faster than another vehicle wheel.
