Description

D E S C R I P T I O N

Sphere of Invention: - The present invention is intended for Vehicles including two, three and four wheeler vehicles as a fuel -free self- sustained auto-powered vehicle and also for generators, with same basic circuit system, generating varying required Power supply for both commercial and domestic usages. The sphere of this Invention is extending as with the basic circuit system of this invention, electricity can be generated and thereby functioning of electric appliances and devices are possible.

This invention is practically workable and can be taken to trial at any time. At the trial, no limitation is encountered.

Background of Invention: - To devise an Invention replacing effectively the fuel based running vehicle. As of now, only one Electric Vehicle is in use, but it is with many limitations. For example, it can run only for short distance and needs to be battery charged constantly and charging is also not possible as frequent as fuel filling. More over, the electric Vehicle is battery charged only through AC power Supply.

The Inspiration is to remove all these limitation and to invent a Vehicle for frequent and non- stop long -distance usages, without any inconvenience. This is also an improvement of my earlier invention titled "AIR DRIVEN CYCLE" (application No. 142 MAS 2003 dated 21.2.2003 pending on the file of Patent Office, Chennai Division, India) and this invention removes the inconvenience of fixing Air driven Blades. This Invention is also usable as a generator of electricity wherein replacing the external AC Supply.

The importance and uniqueness of this Invention is that any electric appliances or devices can be functioned by applying the basic circuit system of this Invention.

Requirement for running my invention:

> 1. Batteries - 12 volts (number varies depending upon the requirement)

> 2. Permanent Magnet DC Motors - 3000 Rotation per minute (RPM) (number and HP varies depending upon the requirement) 3. Silicon diode (number and Amperes varies depending upon the requirement) 4. DC dynamo - one number (Amperes varies depending upon the requirement)

Brief Working of the Invention: - An invention with a mechanism involved in generating the necessary electricity required for either running of the electric vehicle or working as a generator through the motion of the vehicle itself or through the action of the generator itself. For example, in Vehicle, the electric energy required to run the Vehicle is generated by the Vehicle itself when it is at Motion. The basic circuit system for both auto-powered vehicle and generator are same, depending upon the application, some changes are done. The Invented circuit consists of Four 12 Volt Batteries connected serially to DC motor. In the Vehicle, the DC Motor is connected through the speed controller, Mosfet Drive for controlling the speed. From Mosfet Drive, positive Supply is connected to DC Motor through Silicon Diode, that works as a One way supply valve, while the negative supply is directly connected DC Motor. But for using as a generator, the positive supply from the battery is connected to DC Motor through the silicon diode.

DC Motor named as DC Dynamotor while at motion, the electric winding coil inside the motor that drives the Vehicle by rotating the Motor, simultaneous, gives a return supply that recharges the battery. More precisely, for every rotation, the electric winding coil is able to move the vehicle as well as able to recharge. In vehicle, DC Dynamotor drives the rear wheels through the reduction Gear Box & crown and pinion differential system, while in generator, it is connected to a DC/AC Dynamo and that in turn gives supply.

At the same time, the return supply given out by the DC Dynamotor, is lined and diverted through the gate of Silicon Diode that in turn recharges two numbers 12 Volt Batteries, at the rate of 24 volts series connection through a Voltage regulator. A DC Motor 3000 RPM, V_> HP is connected to one of the Battery and the supply battery rotates the motor that in turn drives the 50 Volt 1000 RPM DC Dynamo. The output from the Dynamo recharges the four main batteries through silicon diode. (Positive output through silicon Diode, negative output directly) Thus, by this mechanism, the Vehicle runs continuously, generating its own electric supply and thus the charge level is always maintained with full Amperes, which is designed in Battery. Similarly, in generator, the circuit generates DC or AC supply, with respect to placing of DC or AC Dynamo as per our requirement and the charge level is maintained.

Detailed Description of the invention:

This Patent application is filed for the mechanism of basic auto- powered circuit structure and that applied in Vehicle generating the necessary electricity required for running the vehicle through the motion of the vehicle itself and also applied in functioning of generator. The auto-powered circuit system is basic one and depending upon the application of the system for the vehicle and generator, some changes are done. The basic circuit auto-powered system is described briefly in the Brief description and elaborate description of the circuit in Vehicle and generator are detailed below: Auto-powered Vehicle: -

A Circuit of Four 12 Volt main drive Batteries (marked as 8A, 8B, 8C & 8D in Fig 1) connected serially starting from Battery marked as 8A with Battery marked as 8B, then to battery marked as 8C and finally to Battery marked with 8D. With this series connection, the output from Battery amounts to 48 Volt DC (positive output from Battery marked as 8A with negative output from battery marked as 8D).

Initially, the Vehicle is ignited and commences its Journey by the electric supply from this group of four Main drive Batteries and once the drive is commenced the circuit starts its working detailed as hereunder.

The output from the group of four main drive batteries connects to the Input of Mosfet Acceleration System (marked as 7 in Fig 1).

The Mosfet Acceleration System (marked as 7 in Fig 1) functions as a regulator generating the desired rotation from 1 RPM to 3000 RPM. This serves as an accelerator Regulator. The Mosfet Drive is controlled or regulated through a R.W. 3, 5K Ω Control (marked as 3 in Fig. l), assembled along with the accelerating system in the vehicle (for two wheeler - in handle bar, for four wheeler - Foot Pedal marked as 5 in Fig. l).

The output from the Mosfet Drive is connected to 3 HP 3000 RPM DC Main drive Motor marked as 5 in Fig. l., while the Positive output is connected through the Silicon Diode (marked as 11 in Fig 1) and negative output is connected directly through the Junction Box marked as 20 in Fig. l.

Silicon Diode marked as 11 in Fig. l is the crucial unit for this invention. The nature of Silicon Diode is that the supply will pass only in one way, as per the direction in the diode. If the supply is given on the other side, no output is possible and so, no reversing of supply is ^" possible. The positive DC supply travels through the silicon diode and linked to the positive DC Motor marked as 5 in Fig 1. The negative DC supply from Mosfet Drive marked as 7 in Fig 1, connected directly to negative DC Main drive Motor 3 HP 3000 RPM (marked as 5 in Fig 1 and 3).

The total shell of the vehicle is having its own flywheel system, (i.e) if a vehicle is manually pushed when it is at halt, even then it stops after traveling some distance. And so, the weight of the vehicle coupled with the action, forces the vehicle to move and thereby the total shell itself works as a flywheel system.

With this basic circuit system, at the time of the motion of the vehicle itself, the Batteries are recharged by recycling of the electricity. The DC Dynamotor marked as 5 in Fig 1 and 3 functions in two folds as DC Motor cum DC Dynamo: Viz (1) The DC Supply inputted to the DC Motor makes the electric winding coil inside the DC motor to drive the Vehicle by rotating the Motor and (2) at the same time, the DC supply is outputted from DC Motor from the same winding intermediate circuit. Thus the DC motor named as DC Dynamotor functions simultaneous for every single RPM as a Motor cum DC Dynamo outputting the DC Supply.

In Fig 1 and elaborated in Fig 3 symbolizes the supply and recycle of electric supply done in the same line. This return positive supply output is parted in the silicon diode marked as 1 IB in Fig 1 and 3.

The DC Dynamotor is connected to Gear Box (marked as 6 in Fig 1) and the rear wheel(s) marked as 4 in Fig 1 connects the Gear Box through a Differential housing marked as 12 in Fig 1. In case of two rear wheels, the crown and pinion Gear housing is marked as 13 in Fig 1 connecting the differential. Thus the DC Dynamotor rotates and runs the Vehicle and the motion of the Vehicle is also regulated by the gear box arrangement.

Thus with this circuit, the electric supply from four Main Drive Batteries (marked as 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D in Fig 1) drives the vehicle through the DC Dynamotor (marked as 5 in Fig 1) and in turn the DC Dynamotor, recycles the electric energy recharging and maintaining the four Batteries (marked as 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D in Fig 1) and thereby, the entire circuit runs the vehicle without depending on any external power supply or fuel supply and thus the Vehicle is self- powered or Auto-powered.

The return positive DC supply from the DC Dynamotor is connected to the positive DC regulator system marked as 10 in Fig. 1 through the Silicon Diode marked as 11B. Negative return supply from the DC Motor is connected directly to the negative DC regulator system marked as 10 in Fig. 1.

DC regulator system works only when the input reaches 24 volt. From 24 volts to 48 Volts, the DC regulator works giving the output of 24 Volts irrespective of its varying inputs upto 48 Volts. The output of this DC regulator is connected to two 12 volt recharging Batteries marked as 8E and 8F by series connection. When the two recharging batteries are fully charges, the circuits will automatically cut-off.

The Output from one 12 Volt recharging Battery marked as 8E in Fig 1 is connected to the DC Motor 3000 RPM, % HP marked as 9 in Fig 1. This Dc Motor is connected to 50 Volt 1000-RPM DC Dynamo marked as 1 in Fig 1. The DC supply to the DC motor runs the DC dynamo and both are connected by belts marked as 16 in Fig 1. DC dynamo outputs DC supply of 50 Volt and that in turn charges and maintains the charge level in the Four batteries marked as 8A, 8B, 8C & 8D in Fig 1 , through a Silicon Diode marked as 11 in Fig 1. The positive Supply from the DC Dynamo is connected to the battery 8A in Fig 1 through Silicon diode, while the negative supply is connected directly to negative of Battery 8D in Fig 1. The silicon diode again plays a crucial role here, by sending the Supply one way to the Battery, as without the diode, the supply will return making the dynamo to rotate discharging the supply. To avoid, this, Silicon diode is used as a one way gate. Therefore, by this mechanism, DC dynamo maintains the charge level and thereby the Batteries are in full charge at all times. Another 12 volt recharging battery marked as 8F connected with the regulator system is used as a back up. In case if the recharging battery marked as 8E runs out, then by manually shifting the DC supply by relay marked as 15, the Supply from 8F is used in the circuit. Each of these charging batteries 8E and 8F, is having a independent capacity to function the charging DC motor marked as 9 in Fig 1 for continuously 40 minutes without any input. So, 80 minutes back up is provided.

The circuit works producing the charging current when the speed touches lOKm itself. From 10 KM speed, the recycling of electric energy starts and the charge levels are maintained continuously.

This invention is highly convenient and self-sufficient as even in case if the Four main drive batteries are in empty at the time of ignition, by manually shifting the DC supply to the back-up battery marked as 8F, the back-up battery charges the four main drive batteries even at the time the Vehicle is static, thereby the vehicle is ignited and then the entire circuit commences.

Auto-powered Generator:-

With the same basic circuit, many applications can be devised, another example is Generator. Once the generator is ignited, the circuit functions in the following manner producing required electricity and the entire process of recycling is also commenced. A Circuit of Four 12 Volt main drive Batteries (marked as 8A, 8B, 8C & 8D in Fig 2) connected serially starting from Battery marked as 8A with Battery marked as 8B, then to battery marked as 8C and finally to Battery marked as 8D. With this serial connection, the output from Battery positive of 8A with negative of 8D, amounts to 48 Volt DC supply.

The positive supply from Battery marked as 8A is connected to input of Silicon Diode (marked as 11A in Fig 2). Silicon Diode is the crucial unit for this invention. Nature of Silicon Diode is that the supply will pass only in one way, as per the direction in the diode. If the supply is given on the other side, no output is possible and so, no reversing of supply is possible. The positive DC supply travels through the silicon diode and the output from the silicon diode marked as 11B in Fig 2, is linked to the positive of DC Main drive Motor 3 HP 3000 RPM known as DC Dynamotor marked as 5 in Fig 2 and 3. The negative DC supply from the battery marked as 8D in Fig 2, is connected to negative of DC Dynamotor 3 HP 3000 RPM (marked as 5 in Fig 1), through a Junction box marked as 20 in Fig 2 and 3. The total input to the DC Dynamotor is standard of 48 volt.

The DC Dynamotor marked as 5 in Fig 2 is connected to an AC Alternator marked as 18 in Fig 2 through an in-between fly wheel marked as 17 in Fig 2. A mounting bed marked as 21 in Fig 2 fixes the Dc Motor marked as 5 in Fig 2 and the Alternator marked as 18 in Fig 2. The DC Supply from the motor rotates the AC Alternator marked as 18 in Fig 2 coupled with the in-between flywheel marked as 17 in Fig 2 producing an output around 220 V and 1.5 to 2 HP is marked as 19 and as an indication a bulb is lightened. By this mode, the generator generates the required electricity.

Now, at the same time of the generating electricity, the Batteries are recharged by recycling of the electricity. The DC Dynamotor marked as 5 in Fig 2 and 3 functions in two fold: Viz (1) The DC Supply inputted to the DC Dynamotor makes the electric winding coil inside the DC Dynamotor to drive the Vehicle by rotating the Motor and (2) at the same time, the DC supply is outputted from DC Dynamotor from the same winding intermediate circuit.

In Fig 2 and elaborated in Fig 3 symbolizes the supply and recycle of electric supply done in the same line. This return positive supply output is parted in the silicon diode marked as 11B in Fig 2 and 3.

From 11B in Fig 2 and 3, the return positive DC supply is connected to the positive DC regulator system marked as 10 in Fig.2 and negative DC supply originating from Battery marked 8D through the Junction Box marked as 20 in Fig 2 and 3 is connected to negative Input of DC regulator system marked as 10 in Fig 2 and 3.

DC regulator system regulates its input of 24 to 48 Volts and gives an output of 24 Volt charging two 12 volt Batteries marked as 8E and 8F in Fig.2. When the batteries are fully charged, the circuits will automatically cut-off. The Output from the 12 Volt Battery marked as 8E in Fig 2 is connected to and rotates the DC Motor 12 volt 3000 RPM, V₂ HP marked as 9 in Fig 2. This Dc Motor is connected to 50 Volt 1000-RPM DC Dynamo marked as 1 in Fig 2. The DC supply to the DC motor runs the DC dynamo and both are connected by belts marked as 16 in Fig 2. DC dynamo outputs DC supply of 50 Volt and that in turn continuously recharges and maintains the charge level in the Four batteries marked as 8A, 8B, 8C 8s 8D in Fig 2, through a Silicon Diode marked as 11 in Fig 2.

The positive Supply from the DC Dynamo is connected to the Input of Silicon diode marked as HA in fig 2 and the output in one way marked as 1 IB in Fig 2 is connected to the battery marked as 8A in Fig 2, while the negative supply is connected directly to negative of Battery 8D in Fig 2. The silicon diode again plays a crucial role here, by sending the Supply one way to the Battery, as without the diode, the supply will return making the dynamo to rotate discharging the supply. To avoid, this, Silicon diode is used as a one way gate. Therefore, by this mechanism, DC dynamo maintains the charge level and thereby the Batteries are in full charge at all times.

In this mechanism, electric energy to recharge the battery is generated at the same time of switching on the system and so, the recycling is standard and continuous, thereby the charge level is maintained and there is no energy loss.
