Abstract

The use of alternators to provide extra battery power to the engines of electric vehicles and enable the vehicles to have extended ranges. Placing two alternators near the rear axles of a vehicle with belts driven by a sleeve-device would then provide electrical power to the batteries to extend the battery power and thus the range of the vehicle.

Claims

1. A process of harnessing the energy from the free-motion of a vehicle'"'"'s wheels, utilizing alternator technology, to provide a recurring charge to the batteries of an electric vehicle and thus extend the driving range of the electric vehicle.

a. claim 1 includes the placement of a sleeve-device over the axle of the wheel.

b. The sleeve-device will turn with the motion of the wheel(s).

i. The sleeve-device will be cylindrical and have grooves to accommodate belts for alternators.

ii. The sleeve-device will be attached to the tire either by weld or by mold.

iii. The sleeve-device will not come in contact with the axle.

c. Alternators will be bolted to the frame of the vehicle. They will be attached to the sleeve-device via alternator belts.

d. Electric power generated from the turning of the alternators will be sent to the batteries of the electric vehicle. This power will help to keep the batteries charged as much as possible in order to extend the driving range of the electric vehicle.
