This is the better way to propel a vehicle.
"Inverted Electric Motors.
Quiet, efficient, tough and proven to take all the punishment required in the automotive industry. They provide high torque even at low speeds and have no parts that require routine maintenance. No gears involved, no rotating shaft, not even a drive shaft. Manufacturing is easy using present day equipment.
The technology behind our " Inverted Electric Motors" has been used for over 100 years. It is the 3 phase standard squirrel cage motor that continues to power the industrial market all over the world.
The basic idea was this...Take this well-proven AC motor technology, invert the two main components and apply it to a vehicle. We did and proved the concept on a road worthy vehicle and then did additional testing with a dynamometer. Certified tests results are available. Advise us your questions and we will fill in the blanks.
You are viewing two "Inverted" 3 phase Electric Motors with wheels attached
• The larger diameter part of the motor rotates.
• There is no rotating shaft.
• Regeneration is inherent and only needs programming as to how much
and when it's applied.
THE ORIGINAL 5500 lb TEST VEHICLE IS SHOWN ABOVE
"INVERTED ELECTRIC MOTORS" ARE SHOWN MOUNTED ON A FULL SIZE CONVERSION VAN. ALL ELECTRIC AND SENSOR WIRES ARE OUTSIDE THE AXLE IN FLEX CONDUIT. FINS ON THE MOTOR HOUSING WERE LATER REMOVED. THIS VEHICLE IS SHOWN WITHOUT SHOCKS FOR BETTER VIEWING. VAN THUS MODIFIED, WITH TWO PASSENGERS WEIGHED 5500 POUNDS. THE BIG "BOXIE" VAN WAS USED BECAUSE IT HAD A CHASSIS AND PLENTY OF ROOM BOTH INSIDE AND UNDERNEATH FOR MODIFICATIONS.
NOW YOU SEE THE FULL SIZE PROTOTYPE "INVERTED ELECTRIC MOTOR"AND IT FITS INTO A 15" WHEEL.
SIGNIFICANT INSTRUMENTATION WAS INSTALLED. ROAD AND DYNAMOMETER TESTING WAS MEANINGFUL WITH REAL TIME VISUAL RESULTS. EXAMPLES OF INSTRUMENTS: LIVE VOLT METERS FOR EACH WET 12 VOLT DEEP CYCLE BATTERY. OTHERS INCLUDE, TOTAL VOLTAGE FOR ALL BATTERIES, TEMPERATURE SENSORS FOR TWO BATTERIES AND TEMPERATURE SENSORS FOR EACH MOTOR. ALL WERE CONNECTED TO THE MICROPROCESSOR. AC AND DC AMP METERS FOR TOTAL LOAD. TWO BATTERIES WERE CHOSEN TO MONITOR A SINGLE CELL'S VOLTAGE. THESE INSTRUMENTS ALONG WITH OTHERS ALLOWED FOR IN-DEPTH TESTING OF THE "INVERTED MOTORS".
STAINLESS STEEL, NON-MAGNETIC THRU BOLTS HOLD THE ROTATING PORTION OF THE MOTOR TOGETHER. USING THESE BOLTS, SINCE THEY TRAVEL THRU THE ACTIVE PART OF THE "INVERTED ELECTRIC MOTOR" RESULTS IN BETTER MOTOR EFFICIENCY.
These "Inverted" 3 phase motors with driving wheels attached have many possibilities precisely because they are inverted. Length and diameter can vary as the application demands and physics allows. The inverted motor CANNOT be abused from over load/heat because of the temperature sensor embedded in the 3 phase motor windings. This sensor is connected to the motor controller and would cause the current to "back off" until the motor temperature is within proper limits. Other type sensors, methods of mounting, types of bearings used...the possibilities are endless when using these "Inverted Electric Motors". click here for page 2
INVERTED ELECTRIC MOTORS DRIVING VEHICLE WHEELS
ALL MOTORS IN THE WHEEL ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL!
"INVERTING" THE MOTOR COMPONENTS IS SIGNIFICANT
"INVERTED" IS THE KEY WORD FOR WHEEL MOTORS
Consider this for an early-to-market, low first unit cost, user-desired, Electric Hybrid Plug-in Vehicle.
Vehicle manufacturers, any of your present production, proven front-wheel drive vehicles with automatic transmission will work quite well with this technology.
"Inverted Electric Motors" driving the rear wheels of your present production front-wheel drive vehicle is why it is so efficient. Some modifications of vehicle electronics and instruments in the dash, etc will require modification in the front half of the vehicle chosen. Starting with your efficient vehicle that has been crash-tested, having a proven engine with its peripheral components and complete mechanical drive train, surely makes a first unit low cost possible and attractive. Any "range anxiety" has been eliminated from the buyer's consideration. Early to market with early profits is possible for the vehicle manufacturer when using this low first unit cost of a user-desired vehicle.
