Abstract:
A hybrid steam power drive system that uses electrical motors to power any type of vehicle. It includes a steam unit that drives a steam turbine that turns a generator to provide electricity directly to the electrical drive motors and continually charge a battery/capacitor bank which can also provide energy to the electrical drive motor(s). With this system the battery/capacitor bank is continually being charged and does not have to periodically be plugged into a power source to charge the battery/capacitor bank. It also provides an accessory outlet to power external needs when the vehicle is not in motion.
