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. What problem does this technology address...?

5. The EV Regenerative Acceleration innovation now allows electric
vehicles to begin recharging their own batteries during vehicle
acceleration and during coasting above 30 km/hr without the parasitic
effects currently associated with EV regenerative braking.
All the problems associated with EVs and EV adoption are eliminated
such as:
● Limited EV range and range anxiety.
● Plug-in recharge time.
● Plug-in recharge cost.
● Plug-in recharge infrastructure cost (est. $5.6 Trillion globally).
● EV battery cost.
● EV cost due to expensive batteries.
● EV battery weight.
● Pending lithium shortages.
● Future energy requirements to the grid required for electric
transportation.

6. Why should EV OEMs care...?

7. Current opportunity for EV automakers...
EV automakers can now employ EV traction motors which produce
virtually any magnitude of battery recharge current in Regenerative
Acceleration Mode which can increase EV driving range while
simultaneously reducing the EV's plug-in recharge requirements.
A 100 coil ReGenX EV
Traction Motor can 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.

8. How does it work and what is the scientific revelation behind it...?

9. The EV Regenerative Acceleration (ReGenX) innovation is a new generator coil
innovation that is differentiated by conventional generator coils in that it operates
with a Load Current Delay.
This Load Current Delay reverses the EV regenerative braking paradigm and
introduces EV Regenerative Acceleration.
EV regenerative braking is a colloquial term used to describe Motor Action in a
Generator (Generator Armature Reaction).
Motor Action in a Generator is a Counter Electromagnetic Torque which is created
inside the generator by the magnetic fields which are created around the
generator coil when electric (load) current flows in them.
Motor Action in a Generator is explained in a law of physics called Lenz's Law and
Newton's Third Law, “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
The EV Regenerative Acceleration (ReGenX Generator) coil's Load Current Delay
produces a Complementary Electromagnetic Torque, an “equal and identical
reaction”

10. What are the key areas of application...
Advantages / Disadvantages?

11. The ReGenX Generator's key application areas are in transportation and
electric power generation.
Motor Action in a Generator is responsible for EV regenerative braking and
80% of the cost of generating electricity.
What are the advantages / disadvantages...?
Advantages for the transportation industry are electric vehicles which can
recharge themselves as they drive with vehicle acceleration.
Disadvantages? None.
Advantages for the electric power generation industry are electric generators
which require 80% less mechanical input power per Watt of electric power
generated.
Disadvantages? None.

12. Brief history of development of EV Regenerative Acceleration...

13. 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.

14. 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.
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”.

15. 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).

16. 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.

17. 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.

20. The problem with early
ReGenX Generator Coils were
that they could not produce any
suitable electric output power
only system acceleration.
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 power per
coil with EV acceleration.

A load current delay of 45 degrees is sufficient to reverse Generator Armature
Reaction but a 90 degree delay can also be produced.

32. 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.

33. 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.
