Patent

CA 2670036

There are several encumbrances to speed and forward mobility in land sailing vehicles, including their variously numerous friction sources, their lack of versatility as personal conveyances, and their relative lack of efficient directional manoeuvrability. This invention addresses them using: (a) a maximum of two, very large wheels that are not articulated for steering, carry electric motors as their hubs, have no machine bearings other than those of the hub motors, and due to their large diameters are more directionally stable and significantly less affected by roadway roughness; (b) an under-axle centre of gravity that facilities braking without rotating the vehicle's load or ballast, and facilitates extra load capacity which can be speed-enhancing; (c) a four-way-adjustable aerofoil which can effect minor turns in lieu of conventional or differential braking; and (d) regenerative motors that charge batteries under sail power and therefore deliver a broader opportunity for fuel-free mobility.
