ABSTRACT:
An electrically powered vehicle is disclosed which includes at least one wheel assembly, an axle assembly, a linearly reciprocating piston member, and an internal combustion engine for causing linear movement of the piston member for generating electric power. Electric power generated by the linear reciprocating motion of the piston including a coil within an annular magnetic member is used to drive a wheel assembly by way of an electric motor thereby driving the vehicle. In certain embodiments, the piston is caused to reciprocate linearly by a pair of combustion chambers which operate in an alternating fashion thereby causing current to be output via the coil. The invention allows for a highly flexible vehicle design which results in improved fuel efficiency, increased power, less weight, and improved travel ranges in an electrically powered vehicle.
