V Drive

V Drive
Fly Wheel Based Energy Storage and distribution System
The V Drive energy storage and distribution system works by converting the engine power into rotating energy through the use of multiple high-inertia flywheels and CVT transmissions. A single CVT manages a constant flywheel speed or RPM through the use of speed sensors and is connected directly to the vehicles motor. A second CVT manages the vehicles speed through the vehicles throttle or as most refer to, a gas pedal. Multiple flywheels are used together to create the high inertia needed to help move the vehicle along at speed. We say help move the vehicle because the V Drive system is intended to extend the vehicles range and fuel mileage as well as omit fewer green house gases. Less green house gases are produced because of the smaller amount of fuel used with the V Drive system and/or the smaller engine needed to propel the same vehicle or weight without the V Drive system. The simultaneous connections to the drive system are in the shape of a V; hence the name V Drive.
The secondary use for V Drive is added power. When switched over to V Drive while the vehicles engine is propelling the vehicle at maximum speed. The simultaneous use of the vehicles engine and V Drives stored power, helps the vehicle accelerate much faster than using the vehicles engine alone. Therefore a vehicle with the same BHP and Torque figures as the stock vehicle will be able to out accelerate the stock vehicle; this is in addition to omitting fewer green house gases and obtaining better fuel economy.
The V Drive patent is in development for use in all motorized vehicles. Testing will be completed by SAE standards in 2010.
