ABSTRACT:
A self-renewing electrically driven vehicle has electro-generating units 1 and 2. Unit one has an electrically charged starter battery, a first electric motor and a dynamo-electric generator connected to a first road-wheel axle. Unit two has a second electric motor, two initially uncharged batteries and two similar generators. Unit one starts the automobile and maintains it for a short time until unit two can operate the vehicle. As a result of a rotary motion transferring device, while the vehicle is in motion, the generator of unit one receives mechanical energy generated by the first road-wheel axle and converts that mechanical energy into electrical energy which automatically flows into the starter battery to recharge it. From the inception of the vehicle's movement and onward, each generator of unit two receive mechanical energy from the second road-wheel axle that they are connected to and convert this energy into electrical energy which they send to the two storage batteries of unit two. Switching means detects when these two storage batteries of unit two reach a predetermined level of electric power and then (i) engages the electric motor of unit two to the second road wheel axle to operate the vehicle for the remainder of the trip and (ii) disengages the first electric motor of unit one from the first road wheel axle. The starter battery is thus perfectly recharged for the next trip of the vehicle and the vehicle can travel long distances at enhanced accelerations without recharging the batteries.
