| (4)Type herexxxxThere are only four moving parts in this
vehicle...only the wheels.Within each wheel is an
electric motor and thus....a four wheel drive.Each
also is supported from the top like aircraft landing
wheels permitting each of them to be steered through a
dual and redundant hydraulic system controlled thru
its computer to perform at times different tasks.
Since the vertical pivots have a rotating cylinder
within it permits at least a 180 degree motion,90
degrees each side of the forward motion and also
various commands to for instance park sideways on
streets with no more back and forth motions to park and
thus permitting more parking slots for the public.Also
in the drive mode the car has the option of a front
wheel(s) only steering or an 'all wheels' steering
which some cars presently have.with the computer
responding to the driver's command positioning a
theoretical axis or fulcrum point all wheels position
themselves with the wheel axle in line to
it.Even in one's back yard the car can spin around 'on
a dime' and then exit forward onto the street safely.Of
course in those various modes the car speed is
regulated to speeds not exceeding more than a few
kilometers an hour. In the vertical pivot shaft above
the wheel, the rotary cylinder is mounted within a
coil spring and shock absorber while keeping a
reasonable low profile in order to minimize protrusions above the hood which could affect driver's visabilityxxx One possibility to minimize energy consumption is to control the torque of the motor without energy loss or heat loss.By using three coils small,medium,and large as shown in the sketch.It provides simultaneously ...
in each wheel,five different torque ranges are available. The firstspeed, by energizing all three coils gives the maximum torque required for start off,then as less power is needed xxx cont. xxx
The above shows the electric car with many new features.Notice ,top left,the side doors,unlike DeLorean 'swing wing',slide upwards and over the roof typical to many previous van model whose rear doors swung out and back but also in close proximity (a few inches) to the body.Here you raise the door get in on one side ,pull that door down then repeat the same on the other side using the same guide track for either doors.The rear window (door) opens upwards permitting, on a six seater, entrance to the back from the rear.this would permit the rear passengers especially kids great protection in any collisions due to the fact the're sitting facing backwards.
These towers above,left,which permit the batteries to flow through them while being recharged are relatively simpler and smaller than those shown for highway stations including vans and semis side loading methods also (see index3a.html)In the perspective view the EV car drives onto aturntable,butts against the tower ,the front battery is extracted to the 2nd stack which once checked for possible recharge and remaining energy which isimultaneouslyraised one level while the front stack is lowered proportionatetly,then permitting also atransfer at the top from rear to front as well as anew insertion at the bottominto the front of the vehicle. the car is then rotated 180 degrees and the same is repeated in the rear. then it drives off for another 500 miles where within a minute the sequence is repeated. And so on and so on.A 'solectria' EV car using nickle metal hydride batteries occuping no more space than one of these batteries went from Boston to New York on one charge equal to 250 miles

| (5)The above shows the electric motor in each wheel. only the hub and tire rotate on all four wheels.The sketch at left is a retake of 'rag no.58'It's a cross-section of a motor and generator concept on a previous idea for an electric bike.The electric vehicle wheel shown here is somewhat of the same principle and all four are identicle. But it is airtight with dirt seals and has a hinged front cover facing outward which can be opened to replace,if ever need be, one of the six coils (3 on each side)or to repair a flat tire or replace it. Like an aircraft wheel the axle is mounted from one side and the turning axis and suspension is dead center above the wheel.This could then permit with electronic controls and dual(as a fail safe system)controls. With such a system we could then program all types of possibilities such as in a stopped mode,turn all wheels 90 degrees sideways and with a programmed low speed 'crawl'mode the car sideways into even a tight parking spot. In your back yard you'd command a theoretical pivot axis point upon which all wheels become perpendicular to it and depending which way you want to turn 2 on one side propel forward while the others backwards and thus in a very small space the car turns on itself ready to leave your driveway.Just command a different pivot point you could still turn in small spaces.The possibilities are quite numerous.Depending how we provide power to the wheels could provide us with various torque ranges even without varying the voltage. The chart at bottom right gives us an idea of how it can work.here it gives 5 'speeds' with no gears needed. (cont)xxxxxxxxxxxOne possibility to minimize energy consumption is to control the torque of the motor without energy loss or heat loss.By using three coils small,medium,and large in each wheel,five different torque ranges are available. The firstspeed, by energizing all three coils gives the maximum torque required for start off,then as less power is needed the computer shuts off the first,or smallest coil with only the two outer ones energized, as acceleration increases and less torque is needed again the second ,or intermediate one shuts off leaving only the outer one activated. that's the third speed and as acceleration increases again that third one ,the outer, shuts down as the intermediate only takes over and finnally again only the smallest or the fifth speed is the high gear engaging all four wheels coasting at higher speeds. Should more power be required for upper inclines or acceleration automatically the process and sequence reverses itself. The following are some existing patents of other "in-wheel EV motors".

| (6)TURNING ON A DIME! WELL...If you're in your backyard and want to get out in a hurry you no longer need to back out worrying each time if you'll ride on the grass, scrape the paint on the brushes or back into moving traffic. Instead you enter your programmed command for an axial rotation with the fulcrum point dead center between all wheels. Having typical designs to aircraft wheels this can now permit a 180 degree rotation within a very small space in the driveway and thus permitting exiting in a forward direction and in a safer manner. Also entering parking spots sideways directly without back and forward motions.(cont) |
(7)Here's one for the road.. "YOU'RE DRUNK!"...She said....So,I pushed the button on the dash board and slid the controls over to her."YOU DRIVE!"..I said. It entails the console, the steering wheel,and the pedals. An entire package that slides across on steel bars. Since the floor is flat ,one can even sit in the center and ride the highways in a safer position in case of accidents, especially if driving alone. Should an Englishman go to France through the Chunnel ,once there he switches the controls over and moves to the opposite seat and drives on the other side of the road. Also, any manufacturing company could sell their EV's to any country without the need of special tooling to accommodate various countries regulations and saving $billions in the process. The vehicle is now universal and can be sold anywhere without additional costs.Over 50 countries drive on the left side of the road (one third of the world population),all the others drive on the 'right' side.For a listing

| (8)A GLOBAL STANDARD EV BATTERY...Rather than the usual notion that every one thinks they have the best "mouse trap" and going nowhere with it, there's just as much money to be made by standardizing one battery that fits all EV's for size and voltage and interchange with all charging-exchange stations anywhere around the world. the contents become irrelevent as long as they meet global standards established at a meeting by all Departements Of Transpotation from every country.(cont) |
