1. An electric motor power means suitable for boats, cars, and other vehicles, comprising:

  • (a) a constant speed electric motor of predetermined voltageand current,(b) an alternator of the same predetermined voltage electrically connected to said constant speed motor(c) a plurality of rectified alternators of a separately predetermined voltage,(d) a DC motor coupled to the alternator (b) and to the DC rectified alternators to drive said alternator and said DC rectified alternators(e) a DC battery means connected to said DC motor wherein the output voltage of the battery means is the same as the voltage of the DC motor and the predetermined voltage of the DC rectified alternators(f) means to electrically connect the outputs of the DC alternators to the DC battery means to supply electrical energy back to recharge said battery means, anda drive shaft of said vehiclea magnetic particle clutch coupled between said constant speed motor and said drive shaft, andmeans for varying the coupling strength of the magnetic particle clutch;

    whereby variations in the coupling strength will produce variations in the speed of rotation of the drive shaft.
