Abstract
An electric vehicle with combustible fuel capability having an electrocombustible drive engine. A first and second storage battery having a D.C. voltage capacity can be spread to a chopper which provides the input voltage to the electro portion of the engine. A controller accessible to the operator of the vehicle determines the quantity of voltage. A 1st clutch is designed so it can connect or disconnect a 1st flywheel to the motorshaft, connect or disconnect a 1st generator to the motorshaft if its not operated off the first flywheel, and connect or disconnect the 1st generator to the 1st flywheel if it is desired to operate the 1st generator off the 1st flywheel when the flywheel is not connected to the motor shaft and is operating off its stored kinetic and mechanical power. A second generator would be operated from a fan which would be a velocity dependent part of the vehicle. A 3rd generator would operate similar to the 1st generator except it would be connected to the velocity dependent rear axle of the vehicle. A 4th and 5th generator would be operated off individual kinetic, mechanical storage devices that have stored power by means of rubberbands or springs. A 1st and 2nd torque release devices can disconnect the 1st and 2nd kinetic, mechanical storage devices from the 1st and 2nd flywheel or a velocity dependent portion of the vehicle.
