Abstract

One of the current trends in power electronics in transportation is towards a mechatronically-controlled, hybrid electric, drive-by-wire, all-wheel driveable propulsion system, incorporating a prime mover called the Fijalkowski engine-a novel reciprocating, five-stroke cycle, twin-opposed-piston, internal combustion engine with a `two-in-one´ silent drive-shaft generator/motor-a macroelectronically-commutated, magnetoelectrically-excited, brushless AC-DC/DC-AC macrocommutator composite-flydisc-rotor generator/motor, and six or eight steerable, motorized and/or generatorized wheels with the macroelectronically-commutated, magnetoelectrically excited, brushless DC-AC/AC-DC macrocommutator wheel-hub motors/generators with much higher performance and greater compactness not only at the interconnection stage
