From Tesla to the backyard inventor electric cars that don't need to be charge have been invented time and time again and supressed for oil profits.

Here are two articles that discuss exactly what needs to be done to make this achievable today.

You’ve all heard about the saying that “nothing is free” or “you can’t get something for nothing”.  Well, you actually can.  The biggest problem facing electric car manufacturers today is the battery life of their vehicles.  All electric cars today need to be recharged.  Recharging electric cars comes at a cost.  A cost that is far from being free.

The cost alone for the many batteries that are needed to drive an electric car for any feasible traveling distance is the main reason why electric cars are more expensive to buy than gasoline cars.  The fact that they are more expensive to buy than gasoline cars is the main reason why people are not buying electric cars.  The weight of these batteries causes a heavy drain on the battery life of these electric cars.  This drain prevents all electric cars built today from having any useful endurance.  The low mileage is the second major reason why people are not buying electric cars.  Then the cost for electricity is added on for recharging all those batteries.  So how can we reduce the amount of batteries and the purchase cost associated with them and at the same time completely eliminate the recharging costs?  With a drive-charge electric motor.

What is a drive-charge electric motor?  It is an electric motor that performs dual functions – simultaneously.  Using the same electrical power input this type of motor can provide power to the vehicles transmission which then transfers power to the vehicle’s drive shaft causing motion and simultaneously it can recharge the vehicle’s 12 volt battery.

The drive-charge electric motor pictured above has 2 drive shafts, one on each end.  Both shafts rotate simultaneously.  One shaft is attached to the transmission and the other shaft has an attached pulley and serpentine belt which is connected to and turns an alternator.  An alternator is an electromechanical device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current (AC).  Alternators produce AC power through electromagnetism formed through the stator and rotor relationship.  But car batteries can’t use AC power since they produce DC power.  Because of this the alternator’s power output is fed through diodes, which converts the AC power to DC power.  The DC electricity is then channeled into the battery, providing voltage to run the various electrical systems.

Alternators are not a new invention.  They have been used and are used in all gasoline automobiles (since the Ford Model T) to charge the battery and to power the vehicle’s electrical system when its engine is running.

The drive-charge electric motor is both the electric vehicle’s engine and electrical system.  Couple one shaft of the drive-charge electric motor to an alternator and it also becomes part of the battery recharging system – providing free and continuous battery recharging.  Because the drive-charge electric motor uses battery power from a single 12 volt battery to recharge the exact same 12 volt battery it is completely eliminating any external recharging system and all costs associated with using an external source of electrical power.  It also drastically reduces the number of batteries needed to provided enduring motion   The battery will power the electric motor as well as simultaneously recharge itself so long as the drive-charge electric motor is turned on.  Something for nothing.

The number of people who are now converting their gasoline fueled vehicles to electric is growing steadily.  Not just in Canada but around the World.  The rate of conversion from gas to electric would grow astronomically but the main stumbling block is mileage.  The drive-charge electric motor concept by FuelReducer.com may very well be the solution to the electric car’s low mileage problem.

The drive-charge electric motor concept can eliminate our fanatic dependency on oil.  It will make electric cars cheaper to make and it will allow electric cars to travel farther than gasoline cars.  Impossible!

Gasoline vehicles are limited to the distance they can travel too.  The limit is predetermined by the amount of fuel in the gas tank.  Like electric cars with batteries once that juice runs out the vehicle can go no further.  Gasoline vehicles need to be refueled every x number of miles.  Electric cars today need to be recharged every x number of miles.  But the good news for electric cars is the drive-charge electric motor.  This motor not only gives the electric car motion is also recharges the battery while you drive.  So long as the electric motor is running the motor will continuously and simultaneously recharge the vehicle’s battery.

So where can a person get their hands on a drive-charge electric motors.  Anywhere they sell electric motors that can be used in electric vehicles.  Never seen one.  That is because you can convert any electric motor sold today into a drive-charge electric motor.  The drive charge electric motor can be easily made.  The whole concept of the motor isn’t the 2 electric motor shafts turning simultaneously each doing a separate function – 1 shaft providing drive while the other recharges the battery.

The difference between a regular electric motor and a drive-charge electric motor is an added pulley.  The added pulley provides the mechanism (rigid bodies connected by joints in order to accomplish a desired force and/or motion transmission) needed to recharge the battery.

As shown in the design by FuelReducer.com (image above) to demonstrate the concept of the drive-charge electric motor, a pulley (standard mass produced automotive pulley) can be attached to the existing single shaft of an electric motor before it is coupled with the vehicle’s transmission.

Simply by adding a pulley to the shaft of an already mass produced electric motor you are converting a standard electric motor into a drive-charge electric motor.  After you install your drive-charge electric motor into your vehicle you need to mount another mass produced electrical automotive component – an alternator.  The alternator has to be mounted so that its own pulley lines up with the pulley of the drive-charge electric motor and close enough (not touching) to connect the 2 with a serpentine belt.

How does it work?  When you turn on the drive-charge electric motor the motor’s shaft will start to turn.  As it turns (the electrical motor’s shaft) it simultaneously turns the pulley attached to the shaft.  When the pulley turns it causes the pulley on the battery recharging electrical component called the alternator to turn. When the alternator pulley turns it causes the shaft to which it is attached to turn simultaneously.  As the alternator shaft turns it creates electrical current which is then feed through diodes and the diodes convert the AC (alternating current) to DC (direct or one-way flowing current) which is used to recharge the battery.  So long as the drive-charge electric motor is running and the pulleys are turning the motor will keep on recharging the battery – perpetually.  That being the case the drive-charge electric motor can also accurately be called a perpetual motor – a machine that provides perpetual motion.

All gasoline engines have alternators.  The alternator in gasoline vehicles recharges the battery as you drive.  But in a gasoline vehicle once the fuel runs out the car stops and can go no further.  When the gasoline engine stops so does the recharging of the battery.  If this happens in the middle of nowhere either you sit tight and wait for someone to bring you more fuel or you are forced to walk in search of more fuel.  The alternator in an electric car also recharges the battery as you drive.  Because the battery is the source of fuel for electric cars and the alternator is constantly and continuously recharging the battery you would essentially never run of of fuel.  The only time you would need to stop is to rest or when you have reached your destination.  The only time the electric car would stop recharging the battery is when you turned off the electric drive-charge motor or the alternator failed or the serpentine belt broke.  This is how electric cars can travel farther than gasoline cars with drive-charge electric motors.  This is how electric cars will get the World off oil.
