Abstract: A wheel-based propulsion system for a vehicle that includes a stator device and a reaction device disposed on the wheel components of a vehicle. The stator device is structured to generate an electric and/or magnetic field that causes the reaction device to rotate and/or move relative thereto and about an axis of the wheel. The reaction device is securely attached to a rotating wheel-based component in order to impart its rotation thereto and thereby at least partially propel the wheel and therefore the vehicle.

Abstract: An inexpensive, and easily adaptable energy recovery/storage device, namely a turbine powered flywheel assembly structured to capture, store, and deliver reusable energy that is traditionally wasted by internal combustion engines via a power output shaft that extends from a support bearing oriented on the central axis of a flywheel. The flywheel is driven by a driving assembly that includes a turbine driven shaft structured with gear teeth and oriented to come into enmeshing contact with the flywheel. A protective casing surrounds the flywheel to at least partially protect the flywheel from unwanted obstructions.

Abstract: An appropriately modified housing to include braking mechanisms as well as the stator of a Linear Induction Motor mounted in the traditional location and orientation of a disc brake caliper to interact with an appropriately modified disc brake rotor acting as Linear Induction Motor reaction plate and or wheel Linear Induction Motor reaction plate to produce rotational and propulsive force in the subject wheel. The method described results in an electric drive system that can be added onto existing motor vehicles without the need for any significant redesign of the drive train of the vehicle to enable it's use in the vehicle's driving cycle to save energy and increase power and traction as needed.
