Title:
MOTOR ASSEMBLY WITH INDEPENDENT MOTOR UNITS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002053403
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A motor assembly (10) which utilizes a main power shaft (22) that is powered by individual motor units (16, 18, 20) is provided. The motor assembly (10) can be provided with a number of motor units (16, 18, 20), each being operated by a different fuel source, such as gasoline, diesel or electrical power. This gives a great degree of flexibility in how the motor assembly is operated. The motor units (16, 18, 20) are constructed to be interchangeable and easily removed and replaced. Different output shafts (19, 21), that can be oriented at different orientations, can be joined and driven by the main power shaft (22). The motor assembly (10) can also be used as a hybrid motor, running on both combustible fuel and electric power.
