The 4 photos above are
existing prototype electric cars.(See www.evac.ca for more data.)
The first is a Chrysler Epic, then a Chevrolet Triax, a Honda
Insight and
a Ford Th!nk . Beautiful cars, but you can't go far with them(150
miles)without having to wait hours while recharging them. Instead
as you may notice, the pictures were altered showing a substantial
battery measuring a square meter by 25cm high mounted in cavities
in the front (and rear)to permit a quick insertion and extraction
and which have been globally accepted (see below)as a standard
battery also using but one voltage. The content may vary,providing
various brand choices,but like present gas stations we'll have that
option to choose and 'refuel'in a minute.
More info on 'THE FINAL CHOICE' battery will be added to these pages
later. As we see in the lower part of the image above, as further
transitions to electric vehicles occur, even highway swap stations
can at a higher rate volume provide us with whatever quick
replacement energy the world would need even in any country.For
the source of that energy requirement see ("Global solar energy
system" in (index 10.html). Click at the bottom of this page).
Also see index3b.html to provide access to buses, truck, vans,
and autos using all the same batteries (quantities vary)stop for
a quick 'refueling' and are then on their way again.The simplicity
of these new vehicles having motors within the wheel itself, the
only moving part with no gear trains or any other components makes
the electric autos even lighter even with the inclusion of the
batteries.(cont.) |
It can become a 30 trillion dollar global infrastructure
providing millions of new jobs within a ten year transitional
period and without any detrimental effects. The present high gas
prices are being generated to raise cash in a hurry to prevent
new competitive entrepreneurs to seize this new opportunity so that
they (big Oil) can monopolize it with their greedy friends and be
in a position to control us once more. "It's time for the 'ELOI'
to stand up and take on those 'MARLOCKS'once and for all before
e're devoured." In the early 1900's many self propelled
"Carriages" were substituting the horse with home made powered
wagons using charcoal,steam,fossil fuels,even batteries. Finally
gas was chosen as an inexpensive standard source for quick
replenishment in a few minutes to proceed the journey with
access anywhere. Today with the planet in danger a new standard
is required.For the last few decades, again many new ideas are
being tried and suggested such as fuel cell, hybrids, etc. and
all have limited possibilities. The electric autos such as the
GM's EV-1, Solectria, and many others have proven to be the
equal of present cars today other than for the need to recharge
them which can take several hours. They are the preferred way
to go.All that's needed then is standard size and voltage
batteries readily available at exchange stations (like the present
service stations today)where they are recharged and replaced
automatically in only one minute (Having developed automatic
equipment for over 40 years, I'll design the simple machines
if need be.See my resume in index1a.html). One EV vehicle,
the Solectria went from Boston to N.Y.C. on one charge using
A nickel metal hydride 'Ovonic' battery. Using two per swap
gives us a 500 mile range and in time even more. 'BIG OIL'
knows this and they want it all.Let's fight them all the way
to Washington and other governments and watch them back down
on their price gouging at the pump. And let's provide new
possibilities and opportunities for entrepreneurs the world
over to participate.Three years ago GM's EV-1 cost six times
less than one of their equivalent 'gas' cars to go a given
distance. At the cost per gallon now...maybe 10 times less.
The next argument is where to get the power to charge all
those batteries??...simple see (index10.html)in this web site.
It's an inert global solar energy system set up in deserts and
connected with superconductor cables the world over with no moving
parts. And it's free forever with all nations...shareholders
proportional to their consumption requirement. We don't want
nuclear catastrophies such as we saw in Chernobyl (Russia)
and the close call in Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania. Tell
Washington...no way should we maintain the Status Quo!....
THAT'S HOW WE FIGHT "BIG OIL"

UNTIL ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE THE NORM HERE IS AN INTERIM SOLUTION
TO PROTECT THE PLANET AND MINIMIZE FUEL CONSUMPTION USING A FLYWHEEL
SPUN UP BY THE ENGINE TO STORE ENERGY TO RESTART IT AT THE NEXT STOP,
AND SO ON.
SEE BELOW...When the auto stops the engine shuts off
and a flywheel starts it up again upon pressing the pedal. Since
this was released several years past Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen,
I believe, and others have begun using an electric motor to do the
same and which is more intricate. Here's how it'll work(Cont.)
|
 |
(1)The electric vehicles above are powered by a removeable
and rechargeable battery which fits into all vehicles.Unlike the
various concepts of the recent past where every car had to be
plugged in for an extensive amount of time, even several hours,
these give you the same convenience we have now and the're in and
out of the battery exchange station in a minute leaving the spent
ones to be recharged in a flow pattern and passed on to another
vehicle later.. |
(2)This second page above can give us an idea as to how an
infrastructure could progressively develop to permit a global
transition to electric vehicles without any effect financially
on the change-over for the future. Without it ,forget it, there
is no future. If we can't breathe, there is none. |
(3)The image above "Auto-matic-swap"illustrates a variety of
exchange towers for battery charging and exchanging.Either for
initial and low volume needs as well as high ones such as parkway
stations for trucks and buses also.
|
(4)This is was article in'StreetRag'April 14 ,95,There are
only four moving parts in this vehicle...only the wheels.Within each
wheel is an
electric motor and thus....a four wheel drive.Each
also is supported from the top like aircraft landing
wheels permitting each of them to be steered through a
dual and redundant hydraulic system controlled thru
its computer to perform at times different tasks.
Since the vertical pivots have a rotating cylinder
within it permits at least a 180 degree motion,90
degrees each side of the forward motion and also
various commands to for instance park sideways on the
streets with no more back and forth motions to park and
thus permitting more parking slots for the public.Also
in the drive mode the car has the option of a front
wheel(s) only steering or an 'all wheels' steering
which some cars presently have. With the computer
responding to the driver's command positioning a
theoretical axis or fulcrum point all wheels position
themselves with the wheel axle in line to
it.Even in one's back yard the car can spin around 'on
a dime' and then exit forward onto the street safely.Of
course in those various modes the car speed is
regulated to speeds not exceeding more than a few
kilometers an hour. In the vertical pivot shaft above
the wheel, the rotary cylinder is mounted within a
coil spring and shock absorber while keeping a
reasonable low profile in order to minimize protrusions above the
hood which could affect driver's visibility.
One possibility to minimize energy consumption is to control the
torque of the motor without energy loss
heat loss.By using three coils small,medium,and large as shown in
the sketch.It provides simultaneously ...
in each wheel,five different torque ranges . The first speed, by
energizing all three coils gives the
torque required for start off,then with less power needed.
The above shows the electric car with many new features.Notice ,top
left,the side doors,unlike DeLorean
'swing wing',slide upwards and over the roof typical to many
present van model whose rear doors swung
out and back but also in close proximity (a few inches) to the body.
Here you raise the door get in on one
side ,pull that door down then repeat the same on the other side
using the same guide track for either
rear window (door) opens upwards permitting, on a six seater,
entrance to the back from the rear.this
permit the rear passengers especially kids great protection in
any collisions due to the fact the're facing
backwards.These towers above,left,which permit the batteries to
flow through them while being recharged
are relatively simpler and smaller than those shown for highway
stations including vans and semis side loading
methods also (see index3a.html)In the perspective view the EV car
drives onto a turntable,butts against the tower
,the front battery is extracted to the 2nd stack which once
checked for possible recharge and remaining energy
which is simultaneously raised one level while the front stack
is lowered proportionately,then permitting
a transfer at the top from rear to front as well as a new insertion
at the bottom into the front of the vehicle.
The car is then rotated 180 degrees and the same is repeated in the
rear. then it drives off for another 500 miles
where then within a minute the sequence is repeated. And so on and
so on. A 'solectria' EV car using nickle metal
hydride batteries and occupying no more space than one of these
batteries went from Boston to New York on
one charge, equal to 250 miles (400km)

IMAGE NO.6 BELOW
Gwyn's patent, expired now, was heading in the right
direction except that it was to complicated picking at random
recharged ones from a shelving and reinserting discharged ones
in its place from the storage. also delivering it to the auto
requiring too much time and motions(Cont.) |
 |
(5)The above shows the electric motor in each wheel.
only the hub and tire rotate on all four wheels.The sketch at left
is a retake of 'rag no.58'It's a cross-section of a motor and
generator concept on a previous idea for an electric bike.The
electric vehicle wheel shown here is somewhat of the same
principle and all four are identicle. But it is airtight with
dirt seals and has a hinged front cover facing outward which can
be opened to replace,if ever need be, one of the six coils (3 on
each side)or to repair a flat tire or replace it. Like an aircraft
wheel the axle is mounted from one side and the turning axis and
suspension is dead center above the wheel.This could then permit
with electronic controls and dual(as a fail safe system)controls.
With such a system we could then program all types of possibilities
such as in a stopped mode,turn all wheels 90 degrees sideways and
with a programmed low speed 'crawl'mode the car sideways into even
a tight parking spot. In your back yard you'd command a theoretical
pivot axis point upon which all wheels become perpendicular to it
and depending which way you want to turn 2 on one side propel
forward while the others backwards and thus in a very small space
the car turns on itself ready to leave your driveway.Just command
a different pivot point you could still turn in small spaces.The
possibilities are quite numerous.Depending how we provide power
to the wheels could provide us with various torque ranges even
without varying the voltage. The chart at bottom right gives us
an idea of how it can work.here it gives 5 'speeds' with no gears
needed. (cont)xxxxxxxxxxxOne possibility to minimize energy
consumption is to control the torque of the motor without energy
loss or heat loss.By using three coils small,medium,and large in
each wheel,five different torque ranges are available. The
firstspeed, by energizing all three coils gives the maximum
torque required for start off,then as less power is needed the
computer shuts off the first,or smallest coil with only the two
outer ones energized, as acceleration increases and less torque
is needed again the second ,or intermediate one shuts off leaving
only the outer one activated. that's the third speed and as
acceleration increases again that third one ,the outer, shuts down
as the intermediate only takes over and finnally again only the
smallest or the fifth speed is the high gear engaging all four
wheels coasting at higher speeds.
Should more power be required for upper inclines or acceleration
automatically the process and sequence reverses itself.
The following are some existing patents of other "in-wheel EV
motors". Click on them.

(5a)Four Wheel Steering..! Here's what being offered on more
recent models today.But the mechanical linkage on these car limit
the flexibility to provide the new options to do what's mentioned
in the text below(cont.) |
(6)TURNING ON A DIME! WELL...If you're in your backyard and
want to get out in a hurry you no longer need to back out worrying
each time if you'll ride on the grass, scrape the paint on the
brushes or back into moving traffic. Instead you enter your
programmed command for an axial rotation with the fulcrum point
dead center between all wheels. Having typical designs to aircraft
wheels this can now permit a 180 degree rotation within a very
small space in the driveway and thus permitting exiting in a
forward direction and in a safer manner. Also entering parking
spots sideways directly without back and forward motions.(cont)
|
(7)Here's one for the road.. "YOU'RE DRUNK!"...She said....So,
I pushed the button on the dash board and slid the controls over
to her."YOU DRIVE!"..I said. It entails the console, the steering
wheel,and the pedals. An entire package that slides across on steel
bars. Since the floor is flat ,one can even sit in the center and
ride the highways in a safer position in case of accidents,
especially if driving alone. Should an Englishman go to France
through the Chunnel ,once there he switches the controls over
and moves to the opposite seat and drives on the other side of
the road. Also, any manufacturing company could sell their EV's
to any country without the need of special tooling to accommodate
various countries regulations and saving $billions in the process.
The vehicle is now universal and can be sold anywhere without
additional costs.Over 50 countries drive on the left side of
the road (one third of the world population),all the others
drive on the 'right' side.For a listing

(8) (ABOVE) A GLOBAL STANDARD EV BATTERY...Rather than the
usual notion that every one thinks they have the
best "mouse trap" and going nowhere with it, there's just as much
money to be made by standardizing one battery
that fits all EV's for size and voltage and interchange with all
charging-exchange stations anywhere around the world
. the contents become irrelevent as long as they meet global
standards established at a meeting by all
Departements Of Transpotation from every country.(cont)

(8a) This car above is the an electric car made by SAAB and
produced for Ford. They've named it Th!nk and
has a 50 mile range. But all that will change once we make the
batteries removeable for swapping at service stations
as we'll see below(cont) |
(8aa)(Here's its side view)Due to its small size it could use
only one (standard) battery and yet have quite a range before
swapping again. When it is loaded maybe at the front it turns
180 degrees on turntables like in image 8f below and leaves
instead of picking another (front and rear)like bigger and
heavier EVs that travel further. With swap stations
progressively replacing gas pumps range between swaps won't be
much of a concern because of their accessability then. |
Mvc_frdchrg.jpg
(8b)(continued below) |
(8c)Again in the 2 photos above is the TH!NK EV available now .
The 2nd one is shown with front and rear cavities to permit quick
exchange of recharged batteries to permit travel without concern of
running out of power thus permitting taking long trips as we
presently do with gas operated vehicles. The following Images
will show us how the changes can occur through a progressive
transition by providing sufficient means for both modes, gas and
swap batteries even at existing stations .Like the horse and buggy
made the switch to gas operated vehicles , the same will evolved for
EV's. They don't....they'll be left behind. Installing the towers
in shopping malls or any parking facility even on the streets and
highways would be relatively inexpensive as we can see above in
image 3.

(8d)Above is a typical gas station with 2 gas pump islands
requiring attendants and maintenance crews for servicing
the various complexities that goes with the gas engines and
hybrid cars. Today 2002 Nothing much has changed to
protect the planet and also reduce the use of combustible fuels
refined from oil. A depleting source which should best be
preserved for many more years for other purposes such as
lubricants ,polymers ,plastics, etc. In other words what's
in the ground is "money in the Bank" where the price per barrel
50 years from now, used for other applications could be worth
today's prices tenfold then.(cont) |

Mvc_bp2005.jpg
(8f) --It's now year 2006 and were moving to the change over
to simpler and safer vehicles.In image 4 way above is a
previous Street Rag sketch showing a low volume E.V. battery
exchange and recharge station using a standardized concept
battery as shown is applied in Image 8f just above and in 8g
just below. (One size, one voltage.The content or range are
irrelevent,the customer will determine his or her preference.)
As you may noticed in these two images one island has been
removed and replaced by 3 low volume battery exchange
towers.This top view shows 3 EVs at each tower in progress of
swapping batteries.Behind the towers is the battery company truck
which once a month or whenever its called for comes to the station
to replenish the reserve 3rd stack with brand new ones while
taking the old and no longer rechargeable ones back to the
factory to be reprocessed using the salvageable materials to
make new ones.That truck is automatically positioned to
interface with the rear of the towers to make that exchange
also.Like the buses and semis in page 3b,click at bottomthis
truck can be positioned by an indexer alingning the battery
replenishment.Image 8g below shows a pictorial view of EV
batteries in progress of being swapped.(cont) |
Mvc_bp2006.jpg
(8g) As the public realize the advantage and simplicity of
the EV vehicle and the advantage of the swap station convenience
all hell will break loose and those unprepared had better get ready.
Remember the key..Standardize the battery globally ...standard
interfacing of all vehicles to all towers also and we have a $30
trillion dollar possiblity looking straight at us.
P.S. Whenever they are ready ,I know exactly how I can design
those units ---see my port-folio in index1a.html. Just change
the 3 above for a 1 in the ADDRESS LINE at the top of the screen
above ,then click "ENTER" and see some products and automated
systems I developed for many corporations through the years..then

tanks are being filled at exxisting(cont) |

(8j)The vehicle in the image above at the New York
International Auto Show was one of several with aluminum
(or stainless steel) bodies such as the YES! car ,the Hirklan,
both new small beginning companies. Their finished
surfaces were buffed in a linear pattern giving the cars a nice
surface. A suggestion was made to them of an alternate
texture which was used at the entry to Verizon's cellular store
on 6th and 42nd where the erxterior wall panels were
randomly scuffed with emery sanding discs giving quite a flashy
look as shown in the image below. They told me
that they would take a look at them.(cont) |
Mvc_bfnsh.jpg
(8k)As mentioned in the image (8h) above the panels reflect
the light differently as viewers position changes relative
to it,giving them a fluctuating pattern.(cont) |
039Mvc_lnbgpl.jpg
(8l)Here also on the Lindberg plane 'Spirit of St. Louis' the
finished surface is more of a circular pattern(cont) |
Mvc_STNCR.jpg
(8m)The Kirkham model above is also a polished aluminum surface
and one of their representative was giving it a linear rubdown. I
suggested to both carmakers to coat the surfaces with with a
transparent poly urethane like on floors protecting the surface
keep its luster. This car reminded me of an old car I was
converting into a future design.See the small sketch shown just
above it. That was in 1950. I had begun using a 1938 ford frame ,
adapted a brand new 1950 Mercury engine block($205.00 Canada
dollars).After some night classes at the Montreal Museum of
Fine Arts using clay and plaster molds of live models, busts,
nudes, I decided to make a futuristic car such as in the
sketch above and make a full size one. The driver was ,as
shown seated at the center, it had no doors (hop over). If it
rained a zippered dome roof under air pressure with bleeder
relief valves would be used to keep it up using pressure from
air ducts when in motion and an air blower when stopped for a
light. When you would get out, you would unzip the roof hop out
then zip it closed during the rain. Back home in the garage you
zip the entire roof off after you let it dry then fold it and
put it in your glove compartment. the rear end of the design
had a curved shape like most new models today. The front had
protruding headlights with parking ,low,and high beams and the
nose slightly curved with radiator grill at a lower position.
Templates were being drawn up from the model to make an
inverted mold for a fiberglas body .When I was offered a
new job in New Jersey in 1954 a year went by when someone
bought the car put the old 38 rumble seat body on it and
used the souped up engine and all to 'stockcar' race with it .
He'd win most of them. The Future Car was never finished.. bur
the zip on roof can still be applied to these new cars I
mentioned at the show including it being used on future
convertibles for all companies should they wish. Don't
forget to cut me in on it,I got many other ideas. |
Please note...to continue this $30 trillion dollar adventure into
the future....see page 3aa (index3aa.html)
