Hybrid drive road vehicle - has IC engine driving electric generator to power motor for normal wheel drive, and battery for greater drive power

摘要

The electric generator both drives the motor and charges the energy- and effect balancing battery. The primary engine effect is suitable via the generator and drive motor to move the vehicle in normal traffic conditions, whilst the battery is used as an addition when a greater energy requirement arises e.g. for faster start, acceleration and reversing and with generative braking from the drive motor. With normal drive conditions, the energy received from the regenerative braking is suitable for charging the battery. The battery is cooled during both charging and discharge by use of Peltier elements, and the primary engine and generator can be replaced by fuel cells or aluminium-air-cells, in which case the Peltier elements are located on the top side of the cells. The battery is sufficiently large to move the vehicle through environmentally sensitive areas without additional power from the generator. The primary drive engine can be a Stiri Otto, Wankel, Diesel, steam or turbine type.
