INTEGRATED INTERNAL COMBUSTION ELECTRIC MOTOR (ICEM) CONCEPT FOR HYBRID AND PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE APPLICATION

A hybrid machine includes an engine, a first and second motor, a first and second generator, and a first and second geartrain. The engine generates power from a combustion reaction and includes an intake port, a combustion chamber, a piston, a crankshaft, and an exhaust port. The intake port receives air from an external environment. The combustion chamber mixes the air with fuel to create a mixture that is ignited. The piston actuates to rotate the crankshaft. The exhaust port delivers exhaust gases out of the engine. The first and second motors respectively include a first and second hub that rotate from supplied power. The first and second generators respectively generate power when a first and second shaft rotate. A first and second geartrain respectively connect to the first and second motors, the first and second generators, and the crankshaft to transmit power to a first and second wheel.
