The book deals with the power unit (EU). The use of an electrochemical
generator in an EV allows the generation of electrical energy by
controlling the polarization of the segmentetopiezoceramics.
Polarization control is justified by a mathematical model and
experiments. Electric energy consumption of 1 J makes it possible to get
3,5-5 J at the ESP output depending on the ceramics modification and
electric circuit, at the same time the efficiency factor is 55...60%. EV
works together with all kinds of batteries and allows to achieve the
same efficiency of electric vehicles (with the same free running) with
3...5 times less number of batteries. As a result, the cost of electric
vehicles is reduced by about 35...40%, the battery charging time by
3...5 times and, of course, the weight of electric vehicles. The book
uses theoretical and experimental data of the doctoral thesis, as well
as materials of R&D obtained and published after the defense of the
thesis.
