Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration
Innovation

3. 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 (1000 Watts) of recharge current with vehicle acceleration 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.

4. History of Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration...
Shortly after 9/11, Potential Difference 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.

5. 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 which is Newton's Third Law for electric
generators which states that: “for every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction”.

6. The conventional 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.

8. 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).

9. 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 –
rather than resistive "motor action" in a generator.
Electric vehicles could now be
accelerated rather than decelerated
while recharging their batteries.

11. Reversing Generator Armature Reaction / Motor Action in a Generator
(EV regenerative braking) with a Load Current Delay
Demonstration Video:
https://youtu.be/pyO8FUTDX68
A load current delay of 45 degrees is sufficient to reverse Generator Armature
Reaction but a 90 degree delay can also be produced.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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
(more than 1000 Watts) of EV
battery recharging per coil with
EV acceleration.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. Allowing electric vehicles to outperform fossil fuel powered
vehicles in every way...
The Electric Vehicle Regenerative Acceleration innovation provides increased EV driving
range, reduced plug-in recharge requirements and lower EV costs due to less onboard
battery requirements and will result in much needed accelerated global adoption of electric
vehicles.

ReGenX Generator Innovation for Electric Power Generation

19. What is the ReGenX Generator's benefit in Electric Power Generation?
Generator Armature Reaction / Motor Action in a Generator accounts for 80%
of the input energy cost in electric power generation.
Because the ReGenX Generator reverses parasitic Motor Action and
produces assistive Motor Action in a Generator it reduces the
mechanical input cost of generating electricity by over 80%.
The input energy cost of generating 1 Watt of electricity is reduced by more
than 80%

20. ReGenX Motor Action in a Generator.
The the prime mover is rotating the ReGenX 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
also in a clockwise direction. This tendency to assist the prime mover is called ReGenX MOTOR
ACTION IN A GENERATOR. The higher the current in the armature windings, the stronger the
motor action and the less mechanical input power is required to be supplied by the prime mover.

22. What is the ReGenX Generator's benefit to our environment?
Because the ReGenX Generator reverses
parasitic Motor Action in a Generator, it reduces
the energy input requirements in electricity
generation by over 80%.
As a result it also reduces the pollution produced
by over 80% as well.
An electricity generating facility employing
ReGenX Generators will produce
LESS Greenhouse Gas Emissions than
conventional generators do at no-load at idle.
Over 80% less C02 emissions, over 80% less
nuclear waste produced and over 80% less fossil
fuels or nuclear energy consumed for every single
Watt of electricity generated.

23. What is the ReGenX Generator's benefit to Clean Technologies?
In order to supply increasing energy demands for clean energy wind turbines are becoming
increasing larger and more expensive.
80% of a wind turbine's size is required to overcome Generator Armature Reaction / parasitic
Motor Action in a Generator.

24. Equivalent sized 50 MW ReGenX wind turbine
When Generator Armature Reaction is removed from the electric power
generation equation a 50 MW ReGenX Generator equipped wind turbine can be
80% smaller and require 80% less wind to produce the same amount of
generated output electricity to the grid.

25. A single ReGenX equipped wind turbine can deliver more
electric power to the grid than 5 similarly equipped
conventional generator wind turbines.

ReGenX Generator and ReGen-X Motor
Manufacturing Tech Transfer

27. Sidestepping New Innovation Tech Transfer and Manufacturing Issues
New innovations can often pose manufacturing problems with regards to new tooling, size
scaling and design requirements which add cost and complexity to the technology transfer.
Potential Difference has been working with the same coil and rotor
supplier for 10 years.
Manufacturers simply have to order the permanent magnet rotors
and commercially wound ReGenX Generator Coils directly from our
suppliers and integrate them into their own motor or generator
housing.
Very little time is required for engineers to become acquainted with
the new design and there is no new tooling requirements and design
requirements are limited to the housing size and shape.
From initial technology introduction any company can have working
ReGenX Generators at their facility ready for pre-retail testing within
6 months.
