Introduction...
What is Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration?
Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration is a new US patented innovation that allows electric vehicles to recharge themselves as they drive. The innovation accelerates the EV while recharging the vehicles batteries and is the exact opposite of regenerative braking.
How does it do that?
Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration introduces a Load Current Delay into generator coil operation which reverses the electric vehicle regenerative braking paradigm.
How long has it been around?
The original discovery was made in 2007, the backing theory was developed at the University of Ottawa from 2007 – 2010.5 and the innovation has been under development since then. 3 US patents have been granted and 4 more are pending.
Commercially manufactured EV Regenerative Acceleration coils now exist which can deliver in excess of 60 Amps (1 kW) of recharge current per coil.
What does it mean for electric vehicles?
Electric vehicles can now begin recharging themselves as they drive starting at 30 km/hr. The more recharge current sent to the EV's batteries the more the EV is accelerated, the more the EV's range is increased and the less plug-in recharging is required.

3. History of Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration...
Shortly after 9/11 Potential Difference Inc. decided to
investigate if Generator Armature Reaction (Motor Action in a
Generator) could be reduced by 10% in order to make
electricity generation slightly more efficient.
Generator Armature Reaction / Motor Action in a
Generator is a Counter Electromagnetic Torque which is
created inside all electric generators when a Load Current
flows in the generator coil - it is referred to colloquially as EV
regenerative braking.
4. Motor Action in a Generator.
The the prime mover is rotating the generator in a clockwise direction, and the fields
set up by the induced currents in the armature windings attempt to drive the generator
as a motor in a counterclockwise direction. This tendency to oppose the prime mover
is called MOTOR ACTION IN A GENERATOR. The higher the current in the armature
windings, the stronger the motor action.
What is EV regenerative braking?
EV regenerative braking is caused by Motor Action in a Generator and
is explained in a Law of Physics called Lenz's Law.
5. The generator's load current induces a magnetic field (B induced)
which produces a counter torque on the generator's rotor which works
against the inertia of the EV and reduces its kinetic energy
(decelerating the EV) while recharging the EV's batteries.

7. The original idea was to physically divert the
resistive induced magnetic (B Field) out of the air
gap from between the generator coil and the
approaching magnetic field in order to reduce the
effects associated with Lenz's Law (aka Newton's
Third Law for generators).
8. In 2007 it was discovered that Generator Armature Reaction
(parasitic) Motor Action in a Generator could actually be
reversed by introducing a Load Current Delay into the
generator coils' performance.
If the load current induced in the generator coil could be
delayed sufficiently in the time domain, it would also delay the
production of the induced B Field and in fact, reverse its
effects.
The normal resistive effects could be reversed in order to
produce assistive "motor action" in a generator.
9. Reversing Generator Armature Reaction / Motor Action in a Generator
(EV regenerative braking) with a Load Current Delay

A load current delay of 45 degrees is sufficient to reverse Generator Armature
Reaction but a 90 degree delay can also be produced.
10. The innovation was called ReGenX which is short for ReGenXtra.
The backing theory for the
ReGenX Generator Coil was
developed and performance
validated countless times in
the Power Lab at the
University of Ottawa from
2007 - 2010.5 right after
being initially validated at MIT.
Deliberately misleading,
unfounded and false media
and internet claims that the
innovation was a perpetual
motion machine have never
been substantiated.
11. The greater the magnitude of load current in a ReGenX electric generator the
greater the magnitude of the Complementary Electromagnetic Torque that is
produced.
In an Electric Vehicle this means; the more recharge current delivered to an EV's
batteries in Regenerative Acceleration mode the faster the EV is accelerated
and the less plug-in recharging is required.
The initial ReGenX Generator patent was issued in the USA in 2018.
The ReGen-X Motor patent was granted in 2019.

12. The problem with early
ReGenX Generator Coils were
that they could not produce any
suitable electric output power.
Ongoing R&D efforts continued
for the next 11 years and in
2018 commercially
manufactured ReGenX
Generator Coils were produced
which could successfully
deliver in excess of 60 Amps of
EV battery recharging per coil
with EV acceleration.
13. Birth of Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration
When current flows through a ReGenX Coil, the Delayed Load Current produces beneficial
Motor Action in the generator or a Complementary Electromagnetic Torque which works in
concert with the inertia of the EV and increases the kinetic energy of the EV (accelerates it)
while recharging the EV's batteries.

14. Current opportunity for EV automakers...
EV automakers can now produce EV traction motors which
produce virtually any magnitude of battery recharge current
magnitude as required to increase EV driving range while
simultaneously reducing the EV's plug-in recharge
requirements.
A 100 coil ReGenX EV Traction Motor could produce 6,000
Amps of battery recharging (96,000 Watts) with vehicle
acceleration beginning at just 30 km/hr in Regenerative
Acceleration Mode while continuing throughout including
96,000 Watts with vehicle deceleration below 30 km/hr in
regenerative braking mode.
