US Patent:

54602394, Oct 24, 1995

Filed:

Mar 2, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/204749

Inventors:

Maurice W. Jensen - Greendale WI

International Classification:

B60K 304

US Classification:

180302

Abstract:

A vehicle drive system fueled by a source of compressed air includes a main air motor connected with and adapted to drive a vehicle wheel, a combined rotatable flywheel-impeller assembly acting in turbine fashion during a charge-up phase to spin-up with compress air from the source, and acting in compressor fashion to alternately compress ambient air from the source and subsequently deliver the resulting compressed air to the air motor while being disposed in a substantial vacuum and an air tank connected to the main air motor and adapted to store compressed air from the flywheel-impeller assembly. A controller is connected to the flywheel-impeller assembly, air tank and main air motor to automatically and continuously control the flow of compressed air between the flywheel-impeller assembly and the air tank, and between the air tank and main air motor in response to the demand for compressed air required by the main air motor to drive the vehicle wheel.

Abstract:

A Hall effect semiconductor device is provided with means for clipping or focusing emitted carriers to form a centralized columnated beam, and trimming means for accurately controlling the amount of magnetic deflection due to Lorentz force. Emitters from an emitter region travel through a base region under influence of an externally applied drift field toward a pair of spaced collector regions. The polarity of a perpendicularly applied magnetic field determines deflection of the carriers toward one or the other of the collector regions. The columnating means comprises a pair of spaced auxiliary collector regions intermediate the emitter region and the primary collector regions for collecting carriers not within a central angle or cone. A columnated beam is provided by carriers passing between the auxiliary collectors within the central angle or cone. Trimming of the beam is provided by a selectable electric field applied in the same direction as deflection of the carriers to thus control the amount of beam deflection and insure that the beam is directed toward the one or other primary collector.
