Direct current drive land vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A land vehicle comprising:
- a chassis, a 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 a reverse field braking polarity into regenerated DC fed into said 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 derived there from in braking polarity, through two of said three winding wires by said ECU in simulation of alternating current (AC) in motor polarity and dissimulation of AC into DC in reversed field braking polarity;
each said DCRFM having an output shaft coupled through planetary gearing to one said driven wheel;
wherein the DCRFM is positioned inward of the planetary gearing;
whereby the need for a conventional drive train with central transmission splitting drive to two wheels is obviated and fully electric drive with regenerative braking is provided.

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.
