ABSTRACT:
An electric vehicle drive train having a unipolar motor connected between a DC source of electrical energy and a differential or other mechanism for turning the wheels of an electric vehicle. The DC source consists of a low-voltage battery or thermoelectric generator which has first and second electrodes. One of the electrodes is the container of the DC source and the other source electrode is connected to a control member forming a part of the unipolar motor.The unipolar motor is positioned within a recess of the DC source container and is in electrical contact therewith so that current flows from the control member of the motor, through the motor's internal structure, and into the motor housing portion attached to the container. This provides a very compact electric vehicle drive train with the DC source located as close as possible to the unipolar motor. Preferably the motor is vertically positioned between the DC source located above it and the vehicle differential located beneath it.
