ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE AND HEAT AUGMENTATION SYSTEM FOR USE IN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES

摘要

An auxiliary heat supply and electrical power source for a vehicle is comprised of first and second independently controlled alternators connected in tandem to a common shaft. The output of the first alternator is connected to a conventional electrical load and the output of the second alternator may be connected to a heat producing resistive load. The output of the second alternator can be controlled by circuitry including switches operating in cooperation with a conventional heating system and a fan speed control mechanism.
