Direct current drive land vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A land vehicle comprising:
- a chassis, body, at least one driven wheel of at least three wheels, direct current (DC) power storage, and one DC reversible field motor (DCRFM) controlled by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) driving each said driven wheel in motor polarity and converting vehicle kinetic energy in reversed field, braking, polarity, into regenerated DC fed into DC power storage;
each said DCRFM possessing an internal permanent magnet rotor and external stator with field windings comprised of three winding wires with DC supplied thereto in motor polarity, and there from in braking polarity, through two of said three winding wires at any given instant of operation by said ECU in simulation of alternating current (AC) in motor polarity and dissimulation of AC in reversed field, braking, polarity;
each DCRFM having an output shaft, each said wheel having a shaft, each shaft of each said driven wheel being coupled through planetary gearing to the output shaft of the DCRFM driving said driven wheel;
whereby the need for a conventional drive train with central transmission is obviated and fully electric drive with regenerative braking is enabled.

Abstract
Land vehicle with electric brushless DC motors attached to planetary gear final drives of modular design controlled by an ECU “electronic control unit. Electrical power is supplied by removable modular battery packs on a roll out tray and/or an Enginator an ICE “Internal Combustion Engine” with a Generator in one integrated unit running on combustible fuel. The body of the vehicle having a universal electrical connector that connect the drive-by wire chassis components to control the vehicle.
