Hybrid electric vehicles require two motors or engines; one for internal combustion and a second for electronic propulsion. Here, as shown in figure 3, a novel hybrid engine is proposed. The proposed design is capable of permitting internal combustion and electric propulsion within the same engine block. Friction and/or heat dissipation from the engine is reduced. The proposed scheme utilises a set of permanent magnets C attached to connecting rods CR1 and to the same eccentric crankshaft ECS as the internal combustion engine, and is provided with motive force by electrically powered switching bipolar electromagnets A1, hence minimizing losses due to friction. It is more efficient than current hybrid engines or alternator motors due to reduced friction. The use of thermal and magnetic insulation AER in combination with appropriate cylinder timing circuitry represent advantages over existing technology and it may be used in alternator motor form to generate electricity for vehicular and other purposes. |
