Potential Difference Inc. has developed a technology called Regenerative Acceleration (ReGenX) that allows electric vehicles to recharge their batteries through acceleration. ReGenX works by introducing a load current delay into the generator's operation to produce a magnetic field weakening and complementary electromagnetic torque, accelerating the vehicle while recharging batteries. Potential Difference plans to partner with University of Waterloo to integrate ReGenX motors into electric vehicles. ReGenX generators could also be used for electricity generation, requiring 80% less energy input and producing 80% less pollution than conventional generators.

Technology Overview:
Since 2005 Potential Difference Inc. has been developing an innovation for
electric vehicles (EVs) that will allow all EVs to recharge themselves as they
drive. The innovation is called Regenerative Acceleration (ReGenX).
Regenerative Acceleration is the exact opposite of regenerative braking which is
currently used in EVs to recharge the EV’s batteries while decelerating the EV.
Deceleration of the EV during the regenerative braking mode of operation is
caused by the EV’s motor which is used as a generator to capture some of the
vehicle’s inertia and convert it back into electrical energy which is then stored in
the EV’s batteries for reuse.
During this process the generator produces Generator Armature Reaction which
is a Counter Electromagnetic Torque, otherwise referred to colloquially as
regenerative braking. As the name implies regenerative braking (Generator
Armature Reaction) causes the EV to decelerate and the greater the magnitude
of electric current sent from the EV’s generator to the batteries
the faster the rate of EV deceleration.
Maximum available energy return during EV regenerative braking is no
more than 15% of the initial energy that was required to accelerate the
EV up to speed.
Potential Difference has successfully reversed the regenerative breaking
paradigm by introducing a Load Current Delay into the generator’s
operation.
A research team at McMaster University’s Power Engineering Lab has
confirmed after a full month of testing and evaluation; that the
Regenerative Acceleration innovation produces Stator Coil Induced
Magnetic Field Weakening.
The RegenX Generator Innovation’s Stator Magnetic Field Weakening in
concert with a Patent Pending Load Current Delay are the key aspects
which allow the ReGenX Generator to reverse the electric vehicle
regenerative braking paradigm by creating a Complementary
Electromagnetic Torque.
When the Regenerative Acceleration Generator innovation is charging
the EV’s batteries it does not decelerate the EV but rather it accelerates the EV and the greater the
magnitude of electric current sent from the EV’s ReGenX Generator to the batteries the faster the rate
of EV battery recharging and EV acceleration.

The ReGenX innovation is a Patent Pending direct replacement motor/generator
coil which can be integrated in to all electric motors and generators globally.
In electric motor applications the ReGen-X Motor can be employed in all existing
and future electric vehicles to allow for continuous EV battery recharging during
100% of the EV use, during acceleration, coasting and braking.
Next Steps – University of Waterloo Technology Commercialization Consortium
Potential Difference Inc. is planning to be partnering with Waterloo University’s Eco Car Program and
the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy (WISE) along with Siemens and other industry partners to
develop and integrate the ReGen-X Motor innovation into several electric vehicle platforms.

Potential Difference Inc. is also developing the ReGenX
Generator for electricity generation applications.
In electric power applications the ReGenX Generator
operates without producing any Generator Armature
Reaction.
The True Cost of Generator Armature Reaction
Generator Armature Reaction’s Counter Electromagnetic induced
Torque is responsible for 80% of the financial energy input cost and
environmental output cost associated with electricity generation.
Generator Armature Reaction is responsible for 80% of the cost of
purchasing electricity to the consumer.
The ReGenX Generator requires 80% less mechanical input energy and
produces 80% less prime mover pollution than conventional
generators.
