  • Publication number: 20140070605
    Abstract: There is no documentation supporting perpetual motion, in the Laws of Physics by which govern the known universe. The search for perpetual motion is on going, and has never been achieved. This invention, utilizes today's technologies which allows us to come very close to this illusive property by reciprocating the electrical energy. This invention uses manipulation and alteration of electrical current in a step up process. This inventive step up process along with other technical means to recharge the energy storage devices in an alternating fashion, allows a longer drive time of the electrical load without interruption of service in recharging the energy storage devices in a plug in manor to an electrical power source. This invention eliminates the need of a plug in wire to recharge its energy storage devices.

  • Publication number: 20110061957
    Abstract: This apparatus is a mobile self-contained unit. The invention utilizes two distinct existing devices. The first device is an internal combustion engine. The second device is an electric generator that produces electric current. This apparatus is used to create electricity on board an electric vehicle while it is in motion. This invention burns many types of fuels for its power source, such as gasoline, propane, natural gas, bio diesel and ethanol to mention some of the most popular fuels. In the description for this application we are using hydrogen as its fuel. This would be considered a hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is mated together mechanically with an electric generator to produce electrical current. The hydrogen gas is burned as the fuel as it is produced. The hydrogen can be stored or made on board by using an electrolysis system. The invention in this application would be considered a hydrogen generator set.

  • Publication number: 20100109603
    Abstract: As an example in this Patent Application which focuses on the need to have a battery system last longer in all battery applications in various devices. These devices are cell phones, generators of electricity and actually too many other types of devices which are too numerous to mention. Using the electric vehicle in this Application which is one of the best examples. Using the electric vehicle, which in the past has not been a practical means of transporting people as well as goods, due to the recharging of the Batteries. The most important negative reason is the length of time the Batteries could supply electric current in the operation of the vehicle. The batteries in an electric vehicle have kept this mode of transportation from becoming cost efficient. The recharging of the batteries in an electric vehicle has taken a required amount of time to recharge. The time required has meant the electric vehicle could not be used.

  • Publication number: 20100039070
    Abstract: An electricity or compressed air storage device is used to store electricity or air that can be used when needed in electronics, electric equipment, electric motors, electric vehicles, compressed air tools and compressed air-driven vehicles. Compressed air vehicles are being developed, tested and developed at the present. There are broad varieties of applications for these two types storage devices. To mention specifically, electrical devices that require stored electricity in their operation. The two most commonly used are the battery and capacitor. Using the battery and the capacitor are examples in the application of electricity. These 2 storage devices are used in all types of applications where stored electricity is needed. The common use is to have the electricity storage device dispense its stored electricity for use in the operation of various types of electric equipment, electric vehicles and other electronic devices as a means of powering them.

  • Publication number: 20100001686
    Abstract: An Electric Vehicle in the past has not been a practical means of transporting people as well as goods, due to the recharging of the Batteries. The most important negative reason is the length of time the Batteries could supply Electric current in the operation of the vehicle. The Batteries in an Electric Vehicle have kept this mode of transportation from becoming cost efficient. The recharging of the Batteries in an Electric Vehicle has taken a required amount of time to recharge. The time required has meant the Electric Vehicle could not be used. The time required to recharge the Batteries has been the major reason for not advancing the Electric Vehicle's use in a practical everyday means. The Batteries limited time of supplying electric current for use has been a contributing factor limiting the distance that is needed in everyday modern travel. This Invention uses the Alternating Battery Recharging Process, which allows the time and distance to be attained in which these negatives can be overcome.

  • Patent number: 6223864
    Abstract: A shopping cart is generally a wire framed cage made of a specific gauge of metal that is mounted on four wheels. This invention deals with the use of a braking system to keep shopping carts from rolling away, for example: when a customer pushing their goods in a shopping cart stops on an incline to unload their goods into a vehicle the shopping cart must be held or propped against an object to restrict its movement or otherwise the cart will roll down the hill. This system will stop the shopping cart when the foot activated braking wedge is pressed into the wheel housing, by using the sole part of the shoe. The wheel will not move unless the braking wedge is released from its locking position by pulling upward on the braking wedge extension bar with the toe part of the shoe. This wedge is true to its shape and is applied to the wheel to stop the rotation of the wheel. The wedge takes up the space between the top of the wheel and the bottom of the housing, thus impeding the rotation of the wheel.
