摘要： A vehicle kinetic energy reclaiming system employs the vehicle's engine (10) to compress air when the vehicle decelerates and reuses the stored compressed air to drive an air motor (78) which assists in powering the vehicle when it is underway again. When the vehicle begins to decelerate, an accelerator switch (24) causes a valve (38) in a carburetor (34) bypass pipe to open, allowing ample air to enter and be compressed by the engine, which is driven by the vehicle's kinetic energy through the transmission (42). This helps decelerate the vehicle and saves its brakes. The same switch closes a valve (22) in the exhaust line (18-19), causing the compressed air to be diverted to a storage tank (26). When enough pressure in accumulated in the tank, a pressure release valve (74) in the tanks' output opens and a valve switch (72) closes, allowing air to reach an accelerator-controlled valve (88). This enables a clutch (76), which connects the air motor to the vehicle's transmission, to be operated. When the vehicle is underway again, the accelerator switch causes the air motor clutch to engage, connecting the air motor to the transmission. Also a linkage (86) from the accelerator opens the accelerator-controlled valve, allowing air from the tank to reach the air motor. As a result the air motor is powered by the stored compressed air, thereby adding power to the vehicle and reclaiming the stored kinetic energy to save fuel.
