The document describes Potential +/-Difference Inc.'s ReGenX Generator and electric vehicle regenerative acceleration innovations. The ReGenX Generator reverses generator armature reaction, reducing electricity generation costs by over 80%. For electric vehicles, regenerative acceleration recharges batteries during acceleration instead of deceleration. Commercialization plans include developing 30MW and 800MW ReGenX Generators for a methanol plant by 2030. Siemens, GE, and Westinghouse may provide scale-up services.
2. Introduction
Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration and ReGenX Generator Technology
• What are the innovations?
• The innovations are called the ReGenX, Regenerative Acceleration Generator.
• ReGenX Generator for electric power generation.
• Regenerative Acceleration for electric vehicles.
• What do the innovations do?
• The ReGenX Generator innovation reverses Generator Armature Reaction and
reduces the financial input cost of generating electricity by more than 80%.
• In electric vehicle applications the EV Regenerative Acceleration innovation
reverses the electric vehicle regenerative braking paradigm and the electric
vehicle is accelerated while their batteries are recharged rather than being
decelerated as with EV regenerative braking.

3. • What is Generator Armature Reaction?
• Generator Armature Reaction is a Counter Electromagnetic Torque which is
produced inside all electric generators by the magnetic fields that are created
around the current bearing wires that make up the generator coils.
• The magnitude of the counter torque produced is directly related to the
magnitude of the load current.
• The counter torque performs negative work and works against the torque
supplied by the prime mover – reducing the net torque in the drive shaft.
• The prime mover must consume additional input energy in order increase the
torque and mechanical power in the driveshaft to overcome the generator’s
counter torque or the generator will stall the prime mover.
• Over 80% of the cost of generating electricity is due to the input energy cost
required to overcome Generator Armature Reaction.
• Environmentally over 80% of the Greenhouse Gasses and Nuclear waste
produced globally are due to Generator Armature Reaction.

Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration and ReGenX Generator Technology
• How can Generator Armature Reaction be reversed?
• The ReGenX Generator Coil operates with a Load Current Delay and this Load
Current Delay reverses Generator Armature Reaction aka the EV regenerative
braking paradigm.
• The ReGenX Generator reverses Generator Armature Reaction in electric
power generation. (US Patent #240111054 A1 )
• The Load Current Delay can be between 50 and 90 degrees.

Conventional Generator Operation: A 1 MW conventional generator generally requires about ½ a MW (500,000 Watts) of mechanical input
power to idle on no-load. When delivering 1 MW of output power on-load, Generator Armature
Reaction always causes the mechanical input power requirement to increase by an additional 1 MW for a
combined total mechanical input power requirement of more than 1.5 MW (or closer to 2,000.000 Watts
of mechanical input power when system losses are accounted) to deliver 1,000,000 Watts of electrical
output power. 2 mechanical input Watts IN for every 1 electrical Watt OUT.
ReGenX Generator Operation: A 1 MW ReGenX Generator also requires ½ a MW to idle on no-load. When placed on-load the mechanical
input power required to be supplied to the ReGenX Generator is always less than what was required at idle
on no-load because the ReGenX Generator reverses Generator Armature Reaction (or closer to 400,000 Watts
of mechanical input power when system losses are accounted) to deliver 1,000,000 W of electrical output
power. 0.4 mechanical input Watts IN for every 1 electrical Watt OUT.
6. Conventional Generator Operation with Generator Armature Reaction :
1. A 1 MW conventional generator generally requires about ½ a MW (500,000 Watts) of mechanical input
power to idle on no-load.
2. When placed on-load and when delivering 1 MW of output power, Generator Armature Reaction always
necessitates that the mechanical input power in the drive shaft to the generator delivered by the prime
mover be increased by an additional 1 MW.
3. A combined total mechanical input power requirement of more than 1.5 MW (or closer to 2,000.000 Watts
of mechanical input power when system losses are accounted) are required to deliver 1 MW of electrical
output power.
4. 2 mechanical input Watts IN for every 1 electrical Watt OUT in conventional generators.
ReGenX Generator Operation with Generator Armature Reaction Reversal:
1. A 1 MW ReGenX Generator also requires ½ a MW to idle on no-load.
2. When placed on-load and when delivering 1 MW of output power, the ReGenX Generator does not require
that the mechanical input power in the drive shaft to the generator be increased – in fact the mechanical
drive shaft power requirement from the prime mover is reduced to below the level which was required at
idle on no-load because Generator Armature Reaction is reversed.
3. When placed on-load the mechanical input power required to be supplied to the ReGenX Generator is
always less than what was required at idle on no-load because the ReGenX Generator reverses Generator
Armature Reaction (or closer to 400,000 Watts of mechanical input power when system losses are accounted)
to deliver 1 MW of electrical output power.
4. 0.4 mechanical input Watts IN for every 1 electrical Watt OUT.

7. • Why is this innovation important?
• EV Regenerative Acceleration increases the range of the EV significantly and
decreases plug-in recharging requirements because it allows the EV’s
batteries to be continuously recharged in all driving modes; during vehicle
acceleration, coasting and during deceleration.
• In electric power generation, reversing Generator Armature Reaction reduces
the input costs by more than 80% while also reducing the pollution produced
by more than 80% as well.
• The physical size of the prime mover required
in electric power generation can be reduced by
more than 80%.
• Wind turbines can be more than 80% smaller
in size and height while producing the same
output power as conventionally sized turbines.

9. • Commercialization Next Steps /Manufacturing, Sales, IP Licensing
• Advanced Chemical Technologies (AChT) has approached Potential
Difference Inc. (PDi) and has requested 30 MW ReGenX Generators for their
new methanol plant in Sudbury which goes on-line in 2021.
• AChT wants to use some of its methanol produced to generate electricity to
mitigate its electricity consumption costs.
• PDi and AChT have an MOU under development which provides AChT with
global exclusivity on the development of a new electricity generating platform
for the entire global methanol industry using ReGenX Generators.
• AChT has also requested the scale-up of ReGenX Generators to 800 MW by
2030.
• In order for AChT to generate 400 MW of electricity using conventional
generator technology; 227,000 tones of methanol would be required or 23%
of their yearly 1 million tones of production.
• Using ReGenX Generator Technology only 60,000 tones of methanol would be
required to generate 400 MW or 6% of their yearly production.
