The hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and the electric vehicle (EV) are currently experiencing a growth in development and demand due to the growing lack of fossil fuels and due to carbon dioxide emissions from exhaust in conventional fuel cars. Therefore, in many countries and local governments, there are many incentives and promotions granted to develop HEVs and EVs in an effort to make them more attractive to the public market.
However, there are many limitations that must be addressed to make HEVs and EVs more efficient. One important limitation is the insufficient capacity of the electric batteries used in electric vehicles. Because there are currently not many electric charging infrastructures (charging stations), there is a great interest to increase the capacity of electric vehicle batteries instead. Increasing its electric capacity would offer significant performance benefits in mileage per complete plug-in charge and make electric vehicles much more reliable.
This method presents an additional renewable electric energy source for recharging batteries on moving electric vehicles.
This is done by withdrawing .energy from axel shaft rotations to power a separately installed component (a specially designed “Eco-Generator”) internally to the vehicle infrastructure to generate a rechargeable power source.
The key concept of this method is that the mechanical rotational energy from the axel shaft is converted to electric energy while the vehicle is in motion, which recharges the battery. This is a way to supply a continuously recharging source of electricity, which would increase the battery usage ratio per full charge.
This method can be more clearly explained with reference to the following drawings:
The vehicle's electric battery supplies power to rotate the axel shafts which all work to move the vehicle by rotating the wheels.
