@ alanA:

To all: It seems to me that it is necessary to do detailed research before writing something. (Quote from Alan)

Good advice, you should take it yourself.  "Sorry I made a mistake: " (quote from Alan)

I said " He probably is now going for a patent....."
"If I am correct....."l
"Just my thoughts"

I didn't say anything was certain.  These were "just my thoughts".  You need to read more closely prior to posting.

Hi Bill,

I think we shouldn't argue about words.
Fact is: Daren get granted his patents. Something is going on.
He shows that there are different ways to propel a vehicle. Good luck to him and hope to hear from him soon.

Try not being a d-bag when you reply then

What is a d-bag?
Please let us discuss about inventions!!!!!!!!!

Ok so maybe I spoke too soon, but seeing the video for what it was, I saw an electric motor running all the time from batteries, connected to a completely unnecessary device that was connected to the drive train.

Ev's run like this, the energy goes from the batteries, to the motor, through a clutch, to the drive train....simple KISS rule.

Electric motors have full torque at low RPM's so there is not need for a variable speed transition of any kind.

I do think he had a good idea for the wind generation project, but the whole EV thing I just do not understand.

Odd how that site plantevs.com doesn't exist anymore...even Google had a bad cash of it on may 18th 2008.

After reading his patent at http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2007/0105672.html

With his design you will still need batteries and motor, a clutch, a DC to DC convertor, a motor controller, a pot, and you still have to power all your heated seats, mirrors, fans, heaters, A/C, exc.

Now if this in some way is more efficient that a solid state computerized system, than I may be proven wrong, and I may have to have a chat with the company that is looking at converting my car to an EV, due to be completed by next spring, pending road trials of the new AC drive system in the car of the guy that got there before me.
