DESCRIPTION

MODELS OR SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCING ENERGY FOR THE PROPULSION OF

VEHICLES

Currently there are electric vehicles that are fed by external sources of energy that are provided by the public electric companies. There are hybrid or semi-electric automobiles that use the energy generated by the engine - generator in the descents and during the breaking, in order to assist in charging the batteries, being the electric part irrelevant. There are principles of use of the energy through the inertia of the vehicles, but these principles are not well defined and do not present practical advantages. There are, furthermore, many models of alternating current generators, and also electric engines - generators that shall be adapted or rebuilt in accordance with the needs of each vehicle.

The present invention relates to adapters to the different models and to the innovation in the production of electric energy in the road vehicles or in the railway vehicles. In these models of energy producing systems intended for the propulsion of vehicles, we have decided to use alternating current generators since there is less friction created in the magnetic fields and, therefore, a larger amount of energy is produced using less effort and taking advantage of the full potential of the movement and inertia of the vehicles, as well as the use of the wind produced by the displacement of the same that, through the use of one or several of the systems, shall complement the energy needs of the same vehicles.

Besides the adaption models or systems, we require a whole set of accessories in order to adapt the alternating current engines - generators to these new realities. In the short term, the currently existing electric and semi-electric automobiles can work autonomously, in the middle term there models and systems can be integrated in the new products, even with new features. These new models or systems can also be adapted to the currently circulating vehicles, replacing the fuel engines with engines - generators and adapting the vehicles to the new models or systems. The same models or systems can be adapted to the trains to be built and the energy producing adaption systems shall be from the onset integrated in its construction in order to eliminate the catenaries. The currently circulating trains can also be adapted to the new models or systems in order to complement their energy needs.

The present models or systems for the adaption in the production of electric power are constituted by chain adapters or runners (Figures 1 , 2 and 3) linked or connected to the wheel rims, to the wheel runner and to the supplementary wheels and linked using chains to the runner attached or stuck to the rotor of the generators that, with the movement of the vehicles produce the electric power. We have also adapted to the vehicle wheels generators in which the rotor is provided with a special head intended to abut the tyres (Fig. 4) producing electric power through their movement and inertia. We have also used the wind power that can be produced by the speed of wind of the moving vehicles, adapting vanes with blades made of carbon fibre attached or linked to the rotor of the generators, or turbines with the generators adapted or attached to the tip of the axle (Fig. 5), producing electric power using the wind produced by the movement and inertia of the vehicles and also chain adaptors or runners attached or linked to the wheels and to the axle of the trains connected by chains to the runners attached or linked to the rotor of the generators (Fig. 6) producing electric power through their displacement. All these models or systems complement the energy needs of the vehicles.

The structure of the chain adapters or runners 4 (Fig. 3) linked or attached to the supplementary wheels 8 and another runner 2 linked or attached to the rotor of the generators 1 of alternating current, connected by chains 3 and the production system is activated by the movement and the inertia of the vehicles that activate the runner 4 linked or attached to the supplementary wheels 8, runner that causes the spinning of the chains 3 activating the runner 2 of the rotor of the generators 1 of alternating current that produce the electric current.

The structure of the adaptors of special heads 9 (Fig. 4) linked or attached to the rotor of the generators 1 of alternating current, that abuts the tyres of the wheels 6, being activated by the movement and inertia of the vehicles that, through the contact with the special head 9 of the rotor of the generators 1 of alternating current, to the to tyres 6 that produce the electric power.

The structure of the chain adapters or runners 4 (Fig. 3) linked or attached to the supplementary wheels 8 and another runner 2 linked or attached to the rotor of the

generators 1 of alternating current, connected by chains 3 and the production system is activated by the movement and inertia of the vehicles that activates the runner 4 linked or attached to the supplementary wheels 8, runner that causes the spinning of the chains 3 activating the runner 2 of the rotor of the generators 1 of alternating current that produce the electric current.

The structure of the adapters of special heads 9 (Fig. 4) linked or attached to the rotor of the generators 1 of alternating current, that abuts the tyres of the wheels 6, is activated by the movement and inertia of the vehicles that, as a result of the contact of the special head 9 of the rotor of the generators 1 of alternating current, to the tyres 6 that produce the electric current.

The structure of the adaptors (Fig. 5) is a vane 10 constituted by blades 1 1 of carbon fibre or other material that can be adapted, linked or attached to the rotor of the generators 1 of alternating current and a turbine 12 that presents, linked or attached thereto, the generators 1 at the tip of the axle 13 and that are activated by the speed of the wind produced by the movement of the vehicles that produce the electric current.

All the models or systems that have been presented are indicated in (Fig. 7), as well as the electric circuit that transports the alternating current from the generators, passing through the rectifiers where it is transformed in direct current in order to be stored in batteries, passing then through the converters in order to be transformed into alternating current and feed the engine. They can be easily applied or adapted both in the currently existing vehicles and in the ones that shall be built in the future. It is easily adapted to the currently operating electric vehicles since all the operating electric systems of the vehicles are already assembled, being only necessary to apply the adapters of production of current. In the semi-electric or hybrid vehicles, the situation is almost identical, which in the short term can mean a major fuel saving in fuel consumption and

a reduction in the pollution. On the middle term, a major percentage of the circulating vehicles may be using the energy produced by them and, on the long term, this situation can be applicable to almost all vehicles, terminating, thus, with the dependency on petrol and the pollution in the environment, bringing enormous advantages to all.
