  • ENERGY RECOVERY DRIVE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE WITH ENERGY RECOVERY DRIVE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20140091573
    Abstract: Vehicles of embodiments of the invention are propelled by an electric motor (DC or AC motor) coupled to one of the vehicle's axles. The electric motor is powered by two or more electrical storage devices (e.g., batteries or battery banks or capacitors). The electrical storage devices are charged by alternators driven by a rotating flywheel. The flywheel is selectively coupled to a different one of the vehicle axles, such that movement of the vehicle (caused by the electric motor) causes the rotation of the flywheel.
    Type: Application

  • Flywheel-driven vehicle
    Patent number: 6962223
    Abstract: A flywheel-driven vehicle is powered by an electric motor. The rotation of the flywheel is initiated and maintained by an electric motor, wherein the electric motor is powered alternatively by a plurality of batteries (or sets of batteries). A charger assembly is connected to the plurality of batteries. In operation, one battery at a time powers the electric motor while, simultaneously, the other battery(s) is/are being recharged.
