Grayson Range Extender(GRE) 2.0:

Abstract

A fluid dynamic kinetic energy-based frictionless type generator of a range extender and recharger for an electric vehicle or device and the production of electricity is characterized by converting fluid motion into electric energy. This device uses the drag force acting opposite to the relative motion of objects moving with respect to a surrounding fluid. This force can exist between two fluid layers or a fluid and a solid surface. The device comprises a cylinder covered with paddles, air ducting ramp, permanent magnets, armature winding, charge controller and battery bank. It's a frictionless, high efficiency, brushless generator design that utilizes kinetic energy produced by drag, pressure, friction, fluid resistance, fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, wind, and or motion together with the device itself to create a frictionless brushless generator that will deliver power to the engine directly, the enclosed battery bank or can be diverted to the vehicle battery bank for recharging.

[0091] Showing the sample placement of the paddle wheel device on a sample electric vehicle. The device in this example is placed such that the device maximizes its ability to collect the fluid generated by the moving vehicle

[0092] FIG. 5 THE STATOR ASSEMBLY

[0093] The stator assembly is wound around the internal magnet. The rotor will create magnetic lines inducing current in the stator assembly. Electrical conductors moving through a steady magnetic field. or stationary conductors within a changing magnetic field, will have circular currents induced within them by induction. called eddy currents. Eddy currents flow in closed loops in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field

[0094] The stator assembly is connected to a Charge Controller. The electricity produced is then diverted to the charge controller. The charge controller now powers the engine directly or recharges the battery based on the needs of the pre-programmed needs vehicle. A charge controller, charge regulator or battery regulator limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from electric batteries. It prevents overcharging and may protect against overvoltage, which can reduce battery performance or lifespan and may pose a safety risk. It may also prevent completely draining (“deep discharging”) a battery, or perform controlled discharges, depending on the battery technology, to protect battery life. The terms “charge controller” or “charge regulator” may refer to either a stand-alone device, or to control circuitry integrated within a battery pack, battery-powered device, or battery charger. The charge controllers may also be called a power regulator. The charge controller has additional features, such as a low voltage disconnect (LVD), a separate circuit which powers down the load when the batteries become overly discharged (some battery chemistries are such that over-discharge can ruin the battery). A series charge controller or series regulator disables further current flow into batteries when they are full A shunt charge controller or shunt regulator diverts excess electricity to an auxiliary or “shunt” load, such as an electric water heater, when batteries are full Simple charge controllers stop charging a battery when they exceed a set high voltage level, and re-enable charging when battery voltage drops back below that level. Pulse width modulation (PWA) and maximum power point tracker (MPPT) technologies are more electronically sophisticated. adjusting charging rates depending on the battery's level, to allow charging closer to its maximum capacity. A charge controller with MPPT capability frees the system designer from closely matching available PV voltage to battery voltage. Considerable efficiency gains can be achieved, particularly when the PV array is located at some distance from the battery. By way of example, a 150 volt PV array connected to an MPPT charge controller can be used to charge a 24 or 48 volt battery. Higher array voltage means lower array current, so the savings in wiring costs can more than pay for the controller. Charge controllers may also monitor battery temperature to prevent overheating. Some charge controller systems also display data, transmit data to remote displays, and data logging to track electric flow over time. Circuitry that functions as a charge regulator controller may consist of several electrical components, or may be encapsulated in a single microchip, an integrated circuit (IC) usually called a charge controller IC or charge control IC.
