Abstract: The invention is a combined motor that combines or integrates electric and hydraulic power producing technologies into a single compact motor by means of common or shared rotor and stator elements. The invention allows optimized power, torque, performance and energy usage in electric and electric-hybrid vehicles and offers reduced weight and lower production costs due the use of common or shared components. The combined motor's electric and hydraulic power producing elements are preferably coaxial and coplanar, permitting axial compactness and enabling efficient space utilization in the vehicle. In typical electric vehicle drive cycles disproportionately large energy losses occur during the launch acceleration and brake energy recovery modes of vehicle torque demand. The combined motor increases overall efficiency by substituting high-efficiency hydraulic torque for low-efficiency electric torque during these modes. These peak efficiency substitutions conserve battery energy during launch acceleration, maximizing the state of charge to extend driving range or runtime.

Abstract: In a control method of an internal combustion engine exhaust gas control system which is applied to a hybrid vehicle that is powered by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, an exhaust throttle valve, provided downstream of an exhaust gas control catalyst, is controlled to reduce its opening amount to a target opening amount when it is determined that warm-up control of the internal combustion engine needs to be executed. Next, a target injection quantity of fuel necessary to increase the temperature of exhaust gas flowing into the internal combustion engine to a target exhaust gas temperature is calculated. Then, assist torque from the electric motor is adjusted so that the sum of torque from the internal combustion engine when the fuel injection quantity has been set to the target injection quantity and the assist torque substantially equals a required torque.

Abstract: An energy conversion apparatus and method using recovered energy sources including motor vehicle kinetic energy (deceleration and shock) and wind resistance, supplemented by liquefied air transferred to the vehicle and by solar radiation thereto. The energy sources are combined, as available, to drive a compressor for supplying intake working fluid of a motor vehicle prime mover, wherein liquefied air provides pre-compression cooling of an atmospheric air portion of the working fluid. The liquefied air is made by recovered energy, stored and transferred between vehicles and between vehicles and stationary sites. In a hybrid version of the vehicle, exhaust heat from a combustion engine part of the prime mover increases working fluid temperature in a gas expander part, thereof; the engine and expander operating independently or together for improved vehicle propulsion efficiency.
