Jesse's "McQueen Machine"

Patent #7095126 b2 granted August 22, 2006

An external power source such as a battery is used to initially supply power to start an alternator and electric motor. Once the system has started it is not necessary for the battery to supply power to the system. The battery can then be disconnected.

The alternator and electric motor work in combination to generate electrical power. The alternator supplies this electrical power to the two inverters. One inverter outputs part of its power to the lamp load device and part back to the electric motor/generator. This power is used to power the electric motor. The second inverter supplies power to the specific load devices that are connected to the system. The battery supplies the initial power to the system to initiate/start the operation of the alternator. The McQueen Machine can implement other power sources in addition to the illustrated battery to supply the initial power to the system. The initial model of the machine incorporated an alternator from a 1997 Isuzu Trooper. Once this system is started it is not necessary for the battery to supply power to the already operating system. Therefore, the battery can be disconnected.

Once started, the alternator 20 and electric motor 30 work in combination to generate electrical power. The alternator supplies this electrical power to the two inverters 40 and 50. Inverter 40 outputs part of this power to the lamp 60 and part to the electric motor 30. This power is used to power the electric motor. The second inverter 50 supplies power to the specific load devices that are connected to the system. These load devices can be any devices that operate by using electrical power.

The key aspect of the present invention is the loop between the alternator 20, electric motor 30 and the first inverter 40. A portion of the power generated by the electric motor is recycled and is used to power the electric motor. In this way the system produces the power internally that is used to power the system. This concept makes this system a self-power generating system.

In the initial model of the present invention incorporated an alternator from a 1997 Isuzu Trooper. The invention incorporates an electric motor 30 (148 watt AC). The electric motor connects to an inverter 40 (400 watt AC). The system also comprises a second inverter 50. The battery 10 also connects to both inverters 40 and 50. Each inverter has two outputs. For the first inverter 40, one output feeds into the electric motor 30 to provide to the motor and alternator combination. The other output feeds into a lamp device 60. The lamp device is a 60-watt AC lamp. This lamp device alters the current traveling from the inverter 40 such that the current feeding into the electric motor 30 is not purely inductive.
