Systems and methods include providing an aircraft with a flight control system, a hybrid electrical or hybrid hydraulic propulsion system, and three ducted fan configuration. Each of two ducted fore fans include a single rotor system having multiple rotor blades, and a single ducted aft fan includes dual, coaxial, counter-rotating rotor systems each having multiple rotor blades. The aircraft is a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that is capable of operation in an airplane mode and a helicopter mode and designed to provide an urban air-taxi that would relieve ground traffic congestion, reduce carbon emissions, and increase productivity, thereby providing a faster, more efficient means of transportation.

A vehicle has a body, a high-voltage accumulator that is mounted on the body by fastening elements, and at least one central connector which differs from the fastening elements and is designed to support the body on the high-voltage accumulator. The central connector is in the form of a hydraulic bearing that extends between the body and the high-voltage accumulator.

A modular charging and power system for generating and supplying electrical power to electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, other manned and unmanned remotely operated vehicles, drones, robotics, marine and aerospace vehicles, equipment, or apparatus, portable power units, propulsion systems, and other electrically powered systems. The modular charging and power system comprises a racking system for retaining one or more interchangeable power modules. Each power module comprises a generator driven by a power unit, a compressor to deliver high-pressure driving fluid to the power unit, and a battery bank. Electrical power generated by the generator powers the compressor, the battery bank, and/or an external electronic device or system.

Air power auxiliary alternators comprising a recovering system for capturing moving kinetic air energy, Using alternators for charging the batteries and supplying power to the electrical system, plus other vehicle components and the automobile’s motor. The charging system has a voltage regulator unit and a power control inverter. Giving power back to the auxiliary drive motor that electrically powers the battery and the drive process. The system is a non-contact powering unit that uses not take away from the vehicle’s electrical system the kinetic energy air from a moving vehicle. Multiple alternators force air into the pelonis intake, which is mounted in the front of the vehicle and arranged to transform this air into a rotating motion and charge the ion battery. This energy of the rotating movement of the kinetic energy action to electrical energy power for E.V. vehicles or trucks with trailers, an. This auxiliary electric trailer motor is connected to the trailer’s rear wheels, and a controller controls the motor with electrical power and torque to drive the trailer.

A method and system for employing thermoelectric generators for capturing otherwise lost thermal energy associated with operation of an electric vehicle.

A method and system for employing thermoelectric generators for capturing otherwise lost thermal energy associated with operation of an electric vehicle.

A system, method and apparatus for multi-fuel, range extending power generation applied to propulsion in a vehicle. One or more fluid fuels including diesel and natural gas and/or their renewable counterparts of Biodiesel or Renewable Natural Gas are stored on board a vehicle and selectively supplied to an onboard electrical generator according to sensor measurements analyzed by a processor directing power generation and transmission to motor controllers and motors providing vehicle propulsion. The combined natural gas-electric and diesel-electric transmissions control system power generation driving electric motors rather than a diesel engine mechanical connection to axles and wheels. This integrated system provides improved extended range to diesel hauling applications with improved emissions while maintaining torque, and efficiency.

A method of designing a machine on which a drive motor, a fuel cell stack, and a secondary battery are mounted includes: determining a maximum output of the drive motor to be a first output value and an output of the drive motor when a vehicle travels under a cruise condition to be a second output value; determining the number of fuel cell stacks to be mounted to be n; and determining a maximum output of the secondary battery to be a value obtained by subtracting a value obtained by multiplying a maximum output of the fuel cell stack by the n, from the first output value. A value obtained by multiplying the third output value by the n is equal to or larger than the second output value, and a value obtained by multiplying the third output value by (n−1) is less than the second output value.
