Utilization of alternators for recharging batteries and electric car mileage range improvement

Abstract

This method covers the utilization of alternators for recharging batteries and electric car mileage range improvement. It involves the usage of the rotors to charge and to extend range for an electric car, while the car is in motion. There are two methods that will be explained, these methods are called the Jent methods. The first method will be connecting the alternator to the rear axles. The second method is having an alternator rotor hybrid so that the car can still charge and have the ability to stop and apply brakes with full function.

Claims

1. A method comprising usage alternators to gather kinetic energy from tire rotation to boost extended mileage for electric vehicles.

2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the alternator will be connected to the axles.

3. A method according to claim 2, wherein there will be two alternators connected to the axles via a pulley system and belts.

4. A method according to claim 3, wherein the axle will have a two-inch opening allowing the belt line to wrap around the inner axle and connect back to the alternator.

5. A method according to claim 1, wherein the alternators will then be connected back to the two-battery system.

6. A method according to claim 5, wherein the two-battery system will be comprised of two lithium batteries and a dedicated computer to regulate energy input and output.

7. A method according to claim 6, wherein the computer will keep one battery running the vehicle, while battery two is being charged.

8. A method according to claim 7, wherein the first battery gets depleted and begins to charge.

9. A method according to claim 8, wherein the second battery will begin running the vehicle via computer.

10. A method according to claim 9, wherein the computer will be dedicated to running the battery charge during the vehicle traveling.

11. A method according to claim 1, wherein the alternators can be modified to conduct more kinetic energy with less rotation.

12. A method according to claim 11, wherein the alternators collects the kinetic energy for rotation via belts on a traditional motor, it can collect energy from the rotation of the tires.

13. A method according to claim 1, wherein the alternator will be connected to the axle, via pulley system, the alternator will be secured under the vehicle near the axle, the alternator will be secured safely by steel bolts to the frame.

14. A method according to claim 13, wherein the alternator will be connected. The system well be attached to the axle and have a cover encasing tie alternator to the axle, so that fluid will not escape the system.

15. A method according to claim 14, wherein the alternator will have a tensioner so that the pulley system will stay tight and not slip.

16. A method according to claim 1, wherein the alternator can also be an alternator rotor, as in the alternator will have a circler hole, so that the axle can go through to connect into the tire.

17. A method according to claim 16, wherein the alternator will be as a rotor as well, will have a brake caliper so that the vehicle can still have brakes.

18. A method according to claim 1, wherein the alternator will be connected to a two-system battery system with an attached computer program that will control the input and output of energy coming in.

19. A method according to claim 18, wherein their alternators will be connected to a two-system battery system, will increase mileage range.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] FIG. 1: Rear axle connected with a casing for the alternator, every time the axle spins from the tire, it will be fitted with a pulley system that wraps around an alternator. With FIG. 1, there will be a casing that connects into the rear axle so that a chain can be fitted to the axle and around a alternator. The casing helps keep fluid inside ad keeps it a closed system.

[0027] FIG. 2: Basic concept of how the alternators will charge, this next method is to have the alternator as a rotor for a wheel to be connected to. This way the alternator will not be in the way and the car can still stop easily.

[0028] FIG. 3: hybrid alternator rotor will be very efficient in collecting each spin, while at the same time being able to stop the car when brakes are needed to be applied.

[0029] FIG. 4: hybrid alternator rotor wheel exploded view showing a longer extended view.

The Benefit

[0030] With having the rotation of the tire giving charge to the vehicle, it will give the vehicle more power and help save energy cost. The consumer will save a lot of money compared to having a gas-powered vehicle. The convenience of having the alternators on electric cars will significantly increase the range of the vehicle. The range could go from 124 mi to 300 mi or more. Having to charge less will help save money.

[0031] Having alternators charging the car while driving is a great benefit for electric cars, it is cheap to install to the cars, and there is no reason to rebuild or redesign the car, the alternator design will simply just be attached. For long distance driving, this design would be very valuable. While on the highway, the car can be set on cruise control and use less energy, and while the tires turn, it will help keep the car charged longer. It eliminates having to pull over multiple times to charge the car.
