<p>An Electro-Mechanical Propulsion System for vehicles, wherein the prime mover (10), such as an internal combustion engine, drives an alternating voltage generator (20) through a first shaft (30) at a constant RPM controlled by a speed governor (40); and wherein the alternating voltage generator (20) serves as a source of energy for an electrical energy conversion unit comprising a controlled rectifier (50), a polyphase signal generator (100), an analog control unit (150), and a regulated DC power supply (140), to further provide a variable power and frequency source for an AC traction motor (60) coupled through a second shaft (70) to the vehicle wheel drive system (80). Operator manual or pedal control of the system is further provided by a speed control potentiometer (110), an acceleration control potentiometer (120), and a torque control potentiometer (130).</p> |
