Abstract

The aim of the invention is to produce an electricity-producing unit that enables a motor vehicle of any conceivable design to be equipped with said invention and thus to produce a motor vehicle that is driven purely by one or more electric motors, wherein the electricity-generating unit works pollutant-free during operation, is environmentally friendly, generates little noise, and has a very small design. Said aim is achieved by a drive system comprising a turbine (1/1), a differential gear (1/2), a generator (1/3), a control unit (1/4), and a starter (1/5), wherein only electric motors are provided to drive the wheels of the motor vehicle.
