Electric Transportation Energy

Electromagnetic fields generated by current flowing through electric motor windings to push against magnetic field from Neodymium Iron Boron magnets in IPM motors or other electromagnetic fields from rotor windings in induction motors with VDF or variable frequency drive. 

Intelligent motor controllers that can precisely modulate the magnetic fields inside electric motors, enabling them to act as a traction motor to propel vehicles, but also to accomplish regenerative brake energy recovery to charge the vehicle traction battery as the vehicle coasting, braking or going down a hill! 

The regenerative braking in our 05 & 10 Prius, our 16 Segway Mini Pro & 22 Highboy S2 Pro, takes forward inertial energy of the rider & vehicle, runs the traction motor in reverse as a power generator & puts the energy generated into the battery, thus charging the vehicle battery by converting forward motion, coasting, gliding & regenerative braking into DC current to charge the batteries! Regenerative braking can improve EV range by 5-15% in common real world driving situations. 

Hybrid electric drivetrains can use the big traction batteries to run all the axuilllary loads of a vehicle like the HVAC blower & AC compressor, lighting & computers & other electronics, so the engine can stop running, anti-idle, no idling, when the vehicle slowing down or stopped. This helps hybrid electric vehicles achieve higher fuel economy! 

All commercial electric vehicles, like the Nissan Leaf or Tesla Model S, 3,X, Y // feature regenerative braking functionality. Capturing braking energy to charge the vehicle battery enhances range in electric vehicles. AC variable frequency motor controller drive technology enables brushless high performance electric motors to provide instant torque with thrilling acceleration unmatched by combustion engines of the same power class, similar HP or KW rating. 

Try out the ludicrous acceleration mode in a Tesla Model S P100D & have an experience of a lifetime, only space rockets accelerate harder! A few years ago an acquaintance of mine named Michelle, a well healed boomer, who owns a Tesla Model S P100D gave me this amazing experience, while I was on a break at work, at batteries + back then! Wow! So much torque & such fast face bending shove you in the seat acceleration that's wonderful & outstanding to experience. Really a once in a lifetime sorta experience unmatched by anything other than roller coaster experiences or other major peaks of movement intensity! Thank you Michelle, the retired software developer from Microsoft's early days, who along with her software engineer husband & no children, have extra capital for exceptional electric vehicles. Yes, the Tesla Model S P100D an exceptional electric vehicles, its a luxury high performance electric sedan! 

Renewable solar, wind, geothermal, wave, hydro, nuclear fuel breeder reactors & other renewables, can pump energy electrical into recharging electric vehicle batteries 24/7/365 to make electric transportation reality happen. Electric vehicles are trending, popular, new better batteries & improved electric motors. There are first mile, last mile electric vehicles, rideable EV's of all scales, from rental scooters & e-bikes that you rent on demand using an App like LIME on your smartphone, to electric mining vehicles that weigh 400tons, used in Switzerland! Hybrid electric trains, airplanes & automobiles. Solar electric container ships, covered in PV panel topped containers that are plugged together to form a MW class solar PV generation surface, so that as the giant logistical container transport ship sails the worlds oceans, it generates a lot of its electric motor propulsion energy with solar panels up top making millions of watts of electrical energy to energize the powertrain of the ship, to power other electrical loads on the ship, to recharge traction batteries on the ship. 

Electric tug boats, electric aircraft carriers powered by sea cooled compact HE fueled nuclear fission reactors, that make electricity, hot water, hydrogen & oxygen on the nuclear submarine or nuclear carriers. Russia has floating nuclear reactors connected to city municipal grid power systems. Korea & Japan are developing floating nuclear reactors. We can desalinate sea water, make green hydrogen & produce abundant amounts of cheap electricity without burning carbon! Negative carbon energy technology with nuclear breeder reactors that make more fuel than they consume. 

Go further with less energy, think vehicle energy efficiency; Hypermiling! 

You can drive smoother, calmer, with predictive analytical focusing to achieve better fuel economy, save money & reduce your tailpipe emissions. This also works to boost battery range in electric vehicles. 

Hypermiling a collection of special driving techniques to reduce transportation energy & make the vehicle operate more efficiently, all by just utilizing more intelligent driving methods applied on demand, on the edge of your seat, in real time as the driver who is hypermiling, focused on driving safely & efficiently!
