Battery-powered motor arrangement
Abstract
Abstract A MOTOR ARRANGEMENT FOR A CAR OR OTHER SUCH VEHICLE WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE USE OF A PLURALITY OF MOTORS, RATHER THAN A SINGLE MOTOR, EACH OF THE MOTORS BEING READILY ENERGIZED BY A COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE BATTERY OF A COMPARATIVELY SMALL VOLTAGE CAPACITY RATHER THAN A SINGLE, SPECIALLY BUILT HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY. THE USE OF PLURAL MOTORS ADDITIONALLY ENABLES THE USE OF INTERMESHING GEARS OF SELECTIVE TOOTH RATIOS TO PROGRESSIVELY BRING THE POWER SHAFT OF THE VEHICLE UP TO THE NECESSARY SPEED FOR CRUISING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ENABLING EACH OF THE MOTORS TO OPERATE AT ITS OPTIMUM RATE OF SPEED. THIS ARRANGEMENT, THEREFORE, AVOIDS EXCESSIVE CURRENT DRAINS ON THE BATTERIES AS OCCURS WHEN A BATTERY-POWERED MOTOR IS OPERATED AT OTHER THAN ITS OPTIMUM OR RATED SPEED.
