Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If electric vehicles use external charging stations for battery recharging, then the batteries can be recharged, but the vehicle requires stopping operation and external infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-charging mechanism where the vehicle generates and stores its own energy during operation. The alternator converts mechanical energy from the motor into electrical energy that charges the battery while the vehicle is running, eliminating dependence on external charging infrastructure and allowing continuous operation without stopping for charging.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables continuous charging during vehicle operation through the alternator-battery configuration. Rather than requiring periodic stops at charging stations, the vehicle continuously generates and stores energy during normal operation, maintaining uninterrupted service capability.
2Reliability
If electric vehicles rely on external charging infrastructure, then batteries can be recharged, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the motor and alternator into a single integrated system where the motor drives the alternator, which in turn charges the battery that powers the motor. This self-contained energy generation and storage system eliminates the need for separate external charging infrastructure, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reliable power supply.
3Power
If hybrid systems combine electric and gas power, then power availability is improved, but carbon emissions are still produced
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the vehicle's own motor to generate charging power through the alternator, creating a self-sustaining energy system. This eliminates the need for fossil fuel combustion that produces carbon emissions, achieving zero harmful emissions while maintaining adequate power availability through the battery-alternator-motor integration.
