Description

SPECIFICATION Energy conservation means This invention relates to energy conservation means and its object is to derive and utilise power from move mentofavehicle, especially an electrically driven motorvehicle; through the ambient airand thus enable a vehicleto be operated at improved efficiency.
According to the invention, energy conservation means,for utilising relative movement of ambient air past a vehicle comprises a venturi duct mounted on or incorporated in the vehicle body and an airturbine, or other impeller, atthethroat of the venturi, connected by rotarytransmission means to drive an electrical generator oralternatorto charge a storage battery.
The invention is described below and shown by way of example on the accompanying drawings.
Abakair motor FLOAT- CHARGING SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICVEHICLES Purpose 1. The Abakair motor is a system for accelerating wind to increase its Kinetic Energy (KE) and then tap the KE to produce Mechanical Energy.
Role 2. On an Electric Vehicle (EV), the role of theAbakair motor isto provide mechanical energyfordriving on-board generator or alternator while the vehicle is in motion.
3. At high vehicle speeds, the power produced by the Abakair motor is far in excess of the power required for the turning of the generator or alternator. In future developments, the excess power could be tapped for other purposes.
4. At this initial stage, the primary aim is to turn on- board generator or alternatorto produce electricity for charging thetraction batteries of the EV while the vehicle is in motion.
Presentcharging method 5. Electric Vehicles have very short range (50- 100 miles) and their traction batteries take about eight hours to recharge from external power point. The electricity is made available (hopefully from anon- petroleum powered source. This isto reduce reliance on oii.
6. Some hybrid Electric vehicles like the Elektrobus DE 305 use their petroleum powered engine forturn ing their generatorto charge theirtraction batteries while they are in motion. Such vehicles stiil have limited range and use external facilities frequently for deep-charging their batteries.
Disadvantages ofpresentsystem 7. a) The batteries are deep-discharged while in use and then deep-charged to restore energy. This cycle shortens the life of the batteries.
b) Recharging time of about eight hours is rather long, inconvenient, and limits the availability of the vehicle for use.
c) The short range ofthe EV limits itto locai runs.
d) The limited power on-board places limitations on rate of acceleration and high speed drive.
e) For more power storage on-board, batteries are, of necessity, made large and heavier. This reduces performance while it increases the initial cost, running cost, and the battery replacement cost.
f) Today's EV consumes more energy than the petroleum powered vehicles.
New charging method 8. With the Abakair motorturning on board generator or alternator, electricity is generated for charging the traction batteries orfor supplying powerto the- drive motor or performing both functionswhilethe vehicles is in motion.
9. The innovation takes its energy from the relative airflow that goes past while the vehicle is in motion.
The energy is therefore free and renewable. With this innovation, Electric Vehicles would run on "Air".
Advantages ofthe newsystem rAbakairmotor) 10. a) Abakair motortaps "free" Wind Energy for road use.
b) While the vehicle is in regular use, the batteries are never deep-discharged or deep-charged so the batteries have very long life.
c) Because the batteries are charged while the vehicle is in motion, the ElectricVehicle is always availableforuseandwill have unlimited range.
d) Because more power becomes available as speed increases, Electric Vehicles could afford high accelerations and high cruise speeds.
e) The "unlimited" range and the high speed and acceleration performances would make Electric Vehicles all-purpose and leading transportation option.
f) Since power becomes available while the vehicle is in motion, small and therefore lighter batteries could be used. The consequent reduction of overall weight would improve performance while it brings down initial cost, running cost, and batteries replacement cost.
g)The new generation of Electric Vehicles using Abakair motorwould consume "free" Wind Energy and save humanity the traditional sources of energy.
h) The running costoftheAbakairmotqr is absolutely negligibie. It is simple and robust and requires little or nearly no attention.
j) ElectricVehicles fitted with Abakair motor would retain all the advantages today's ElectricVehicles have over the Petroleum powered Vehicies.
k) There would be no need for generating more electricity to satisfy demand, for the overnightcharging of millions of Electric Vehicles. Not only would such enormous cost be saved but also the cost of dealing with the additional pollution the new generating plants would produce.
I) The additional advantages offered by the Abakair motor would make future Electric Vehicles win immediate customer- acceptance and open up vigorous business.
Construction 11. The system is basically a Divergent- lntake/convergent-Exhaust Nozzle with a Turbine located atthe narrowthroat. The nozzle is then shrowded to form a "module" or a "High-Roof" on top ofthe vehicle. (Refer to drawings and pictures).
12. The drawings show the "module" on top of a car. Drawing 'A' is the plan view while 'B' shows the longitudinal section of the Module.'C' is an enlarged plan view of the module showing belt-coupling ofthe generators or alternators to theturbine.
13. For cars and light buses,the generator or alternator could be conveniently co-located with the turbine in the module or high-roof as indicated in 'C'. For largervehicles likethe Elektrobus OE 305whosegenerator may betoo heavyforthe roof, machanical energy from the turbine could betransferredthrough suitable transfer system to where the generator is located.
14. Photos 1 and 2 show modules mounted on cars with the Relative Airflow going through the system.
Photos 3 and 4 show the High-Roof design for buses.
15. It is anticipated that all vehicles would have aerodynamically shaped High-Roof design butwindtunnel experiments will show the external designs that are practical and are also pleasing to the eye.
Operation 16. While the Electric Vehicle is in motion, the system scoops RAF (Relative Air Flow), and by the Divergent-lntake Convergent-Exhaust, accelerates the air to increase its Kinetic Energy. The turbine which is loc ated atthe narrowthroatconvertsthe KE into Mechanical energy forturning the generator oralternator.
17. Because the KE of the wind varies as the cube of its speed (KEaV3), the power developed bytheturbine increases very rapidly as the speed ofthe vehicle increases.
18. Annexure 'A' shows the estimated out-puts of various models ofAbakair motor. Annexure 'B' shows, from basics, the calculations of the estimated outputs.
Annexure "A" ESTIMATED OUT- PUTS FOR MODELS OF "ABAKAIR MOTOR" 1. Below are estimated outputs per nozzel exhaust area of one square foot, when the Turbine is operating at 50% efficiency.
2. Models ofthe Abakair motor are designated by their "VF" and "V" numbers. For example Model VF7.
V90 means a model whose Intake Area is seven times its Exhaust Area, and therefore its exhaust air is seven times as fast as its intake-air. Such a model is said to have Velocity Factor of seven, VF7. Also the model's Intake-airvelocity, V, (or the vehicles maximum speed) is limited to mph. For now, this limit is necessaryto keep the maximum exhaust velocity sub-sonic.
