Motor assembly for providing an electrically powered engine
First Claim
1. A power assembly operably connectable to an AC generator and a vehicle'"'"'s DC electrical system for powering same, said power assembly comprising:
- an on-off keyed switch for toggling said assembly between operating and non-operating modes;
an AC interface drive;
an AC drive motor;
an AC accelerator/decelerator pedal;
an AC speed control for selectively accelerating and decelerating the vehicle during operating conditions, said AC speed control being electrically coupled to said AC interface drive;
a DC speed control;
a housing attachable to a selected portion of the vehicle and being accessible via a front hood or trunk floor of the vehicle, said housing including a DC motor operable at 1,800 RPM and being connected to said DC speed control for running the AC generator;
at least one AC breaker box electrically coupled to said AC interface drive;
a DC alternator for creating DC current throughout the DC electrical system, said DC alternator being disposed within said housing;
an AC generator operably connected to said at least one AC breaker box and cooperating therewith for supplying alternating current, said AC generator being operable at a controlled speed of 1,800 RPM by said DC motor, said DC motor being operable at 1,800 RPM and controlled by the DC speed control unit; and
a plurality of electrical outlets electrically coupled to a power switch and said AC breaker box wherein said outlets allow a user to supply power to an external device.

Abstract
A motor assembly includes a keyed on-off switch and at least one 12-volt battery coupled to the existing DC electrical system of the vehicle. A D.C. speed control unit regulates the current to a DC drive motor. A housing is positionable adjacent to a front or rear portion of the vehicle and includes a D.C. motor connected to the DC speed control unit and a 12-volt D.C. alternator. An A.C. generator is operably connected to at least one AC breaker box via the electrical system. A converter is electrically coupled to the existing electrical system and the A.C. breaker box. The system further includes a plurality of electrical outlets and a power switch operably connected thereto and to the A.C. breaker box wherein the outlets conveniently allow a user to supply power to an external device.
