My research of the Transportation Industry in the U.S. reveled that “Freight transportation is carried by a variety of networks. The largest percentage of US freight is carried by trucks (60%), followed by pipelines (18%), rail (10%), ship (8%), and air (0.01%)” Wikipedia.
Furthermore, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) published in their Report, Trends, and Statistics section webpage “The trucking industry is the lifeblood of the U.S. economy. Over 70% of all the freight tonnage moved in the U.S. goes on trucks . . . To move 10.5 billion tons of freight annually requires over 3.4 million heavy-duty Class 8 trucks and over 3.5 million truck drivers. It also takes over 38 billion gallons of diesel fuel to move all of that freight. Simply—without trucks, America stops.”
The facts above describe the great need by the US Trucking Industry for a highly efficient, heavy duty, continuous, and renewable energy transportation technology. A requirement of 38 billion gallons of diesel causes a tremendous environmental impact during its production and consumption. To aggravate the problem the dependency on fossil fuels is a continuously growing problem given the limited amount of fossil fuels. These facts validates the urgent need for a new transportation technology that is renewable, heavy duty, sustainable, environmentally friendly, resilient, and continuous.
The Water Gravity Loop ARA Electric Vehicle (WGLPARAEV) is an innovative renewable energy technology to solve and mitigate the problems described above. This application for my invention relates to high efficiency Transportation Electric Vehicles that are primarily propelled by an electric motor that is driven by electricity generated by the Water Gravity Loop Power Plant (WGLPP), and secondarily powered by my innovation the Accelerated Ram Air (ARA-ICT) that continuously generates increasing thrust as the vehicle accelerates or maintain its acceleration given a constant Vehicle speed (Newton's 2nd and 3rd Laws and Bernoulli's principle), and also can be integrated with Vehicles that are powered by fossil fuels or Electricity to improve their efficiency.
The drawing describes an aerodynamically efficient design aimed to reduce drag, lift, and maximize the intake of the Ram Air to convert it to thrust.
The drawing describes the Ram Air Intake and the other features of the vehicle.
The drawing describes the ARA-ICT Sections Intake, Compression, Thrust, and Nozzle.
The drawing describes the main Chassis (Rolling Chassis), the Supports (Sub-chassis) for the ARA-ICT, the WGLPP, and the Firewall Support.
The drawing describes the five interior sections: 1. Control Section. 2. Sleeping Section. 3. WGLPP Section. 4. ARA-ICT Section. 5. Accessories Section.
My invention relates to a high efficiency Transportation Electric Vehicles that are primarily propelled by an electric motor that is powered by the Water Gravity Loop Power Plant (WGLPP), my U.S. Pat. No. 9,677, 536 B2, and secondarily powered by my innovation the Accelerated Ram Air (ARA-ICT) or the Liquid-ICT that continuously generates increasing thrust as the vehicle accelerates or maintain its acceleration given a constant Vehicle speed (Newton's 2nd and 3rd Laws and Bernoulli's principle). The ARA-ICT can also be integrated with Vehicles that are powered by fossil fuels or Electricity to improve their efficiency. Transportation Electrical Vehicles includes trucks, buses, motorhomes, trains, and any other applicable EV.
The Transportation Vehicles will be aerodynamically designed to generate the minimum drag, generate the minimum lift, and maximize the intake of RAM air to be accelerated by the Accelerated Ram Air—Intake, Compression, and Thrust (ARA-ICT). The Vehicles will be a Body-on-Frame construction and will be built using a combination of Carbon Fibers, Glass Fibers, Plastic Fibers, Steel, Aluminum, Titanium, Kevlar, other required materials, and a highly efficient lighting systems. The Vehicle specifications should meet the USDOT regulations, or the laws of the applicable country and the customer requirements.
ARA-ICT stands for Accelerated Ram Air—Intake, Compression, and Thrust.
Is made of three integrated sections: 1. Intake 2. Compression 3. Thrust.
The working principle and source of power is based on the Bernoulli's principle (an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy . . . ) and Newton's 2nd (the rate of change of momentum of a body, is directly proportional to the force applied and this change in momentum takes place in the direction of the applied force) and 3rd Laws (all forces between two objects exist in equal magnitude and opposite direction).
The ARA-ICT uses the vehicle's forward motion to intake the required Ram Air, then compresses as required the Ram air, and finally generates the required Thrust. The ARA cannot produce thrust at zero speed; consequently, it cannot move a vehicle from a standstill.
The ARA-ICT can be integrated with any vehicle that have the required area like semi-trucks, buses, motorhomes, trains, boats, and airplanes where it can be legally installed.
The ARA-ICT will be built using a combination of Carbon Fibers, Glass Fibers, Plastic Fibers, Steel, Aluminum, Titanium, Kevlar, and other required materials.
Based on the Body-on-Frame construction, the interior will be divided in four sections:
1. Control Section. 2. Sleeping Section. 3. WGLPP Section. 4. Accessories and Interface Section:
Control Section: contains all the systems that control the WGLPP, the ARA-ICT, and all the vehicle operation, safety, and comfort interfaces. Sleeping Section: Allocates the required beds, cooling and heating, water supply, communications, and entertainment systems.
WGLPP Section: Contains the Mobile power plant, battery, and the propulsion system.
Accessories and Interface Section: Contains all the required accessories and interfaces like the Fifth-Wheel coupling.
Materials used: The interior will be built using Carbon Fibers, Glass Fibers, Plastic Fibers, Steel, Aluminum, Titanium, Kevlar, and other required materials.
