Ortronic^® is the only technology which allows manufacturing electric cars competitive with the traditional ones.

All the electric car manufacturers have taken the decision to manufacture hybrid cars, that are, in reality, traditional combustion cars that incorporate an electrical motor with an autonomy of about 10 minutes, which only mission is to reduce the pollution calculated on the total power, which is the mechanical motor, that pollutes equal, plus an electrical motor that doesn’t pollute, but works for only a few time. The electrical motor only works in certain occasions.

In the next paragraphs are related the more significant advances and advantages that are the Ortronic^® contribution to electrical cars, which justify our sentence:

A NEW CONCEPT OF ELECTRICITY

 1. New procedure for the generation of alternate current:

Ortronic^® has invented a new electronic procedure for the generation and utilization of the electrical energy.

Their principal advantages are:

•    It doesn’t use filters, coils or transformers.

•    Each semi-cycle is divided into 1000 parts and it starts with the reactive energy coming from the load, taking from the load only the needed to finish the semi-cycle.

•    The 1000 parts of each semi-cycle are grouped in packages which are added sequentially.

•    When there is no reactive energy it takes the 100% from the energy source.

2. The electrical motors efficiency.

•    The efficiency is equal to its mechanical power in its axis divided by its electrical power.

•    The motor in a car works at very different powers, depending on the load and on the inclination of the road.

•    The power in the traditional cars varies from 90 to 400 HP (67 to 298 kW), the average value is equal to 182.5 kW.

•    In a flat road, it uses a 5% of its power, which means 9.125 kW, losing a 95%.

•    In roads with an inclination of 10%, it uses the 75% of its power, which means 136.785 kW, losing a 25%.

•    The energy losses due to the electrical motors, when they work at variable power, could reach up to 95%, that is the reason why the American multinational company EXXON, by the mediation of a subsidiary, invert 600 millions dollars, searching a technology that could avoid that losses, they didn’t find it and closed the project.

•    Ortronic^® is the unique technology with the solution that EXXON looked for, besides other unique solutions of similar importance.

•    The set of Ortronic^® discoveries, applied to electric cars, represents a new paradigm for the vehicles.

3. Reactive Energy Recovery.

•    The reactive energy is generated in the inductive loads by auto-induction and it is returned to the line or grid according to the Lenz Law.

•    Ortronic^® is the only technology that electronically manipulates the reactive, separates it from the active and transforms it in useful.

•    For the rest of the people, it is a blind energy, unwatted and useless, which overload the lines without any utility, that is why the electrical companies penalize to whom send it to the distribution lines.

•    These next pictures help to understand the reactive energy recovery phenomenon.

 Fig.1

Fig.2

•    In the first picture (Fig.1), the reactive energy is sent to the storage batteries bank for being used later on. 

•    In the second picture (Fig.2), a part of the reactive energy is consumed in the no inductive loads, if they exist, and the other part is sent to the storage batteries bank.  

•    Ortronic^® multiplies the reactive energy working on the voltage of the motor rising slope for each semi-cycle. 

•    In Ortronic^® the reactive energy power increases the power of the car motor, increasing its features and saving energy at the same time.

4. Losses due to the intersection between phases:

•    As it is well known, in the three phase motors, there is a 120º phase lag between each phase, and the semi-cycle is 180º.

•    Three 180º semi-cycle means 540º, but the circumference only has 360º, then there is no other solution than have a intersection between phases of 60º, obtaining a total intersection of 180º. (540º-180º = 360º).

•    During the 180 intersection degrees, forces of opposite direction, which are mutually annulled, are acting on the motor, obtaining as a result an energy loss equivalent to a brake of that same value.

•    The next picture shows the phenomenon.

•    The energy losses due to the phase intersection represents approximately a 22%.

•    Ortronic^® is the unique technology which eliminates the phase intersection.

5. Speed and acceleration:

•    The acceleration is a question of power and revolutions.

•    As Ortronic^® eliminates the losses due to the efficiency at low power, can use three phase motors with a power similar to the mechanical ones.

•    As Ortronic^® regulates at will the power and the acceleration, in an independent or synchronized way, manually or automatically, can reach speed and acceleration values much higher than the traditional cars.

•    The Ortronic^® electric cars, equipped with the Ortronic^® traction system, can compit with the traditional ones.

6. Efficiency:

Efficiency comparison between an electric car, all of them uses the PWM technology, and Ortronic^®.

The Ortronic^® efficiency is between 95% and 97%. The PWM efficiency is between 15% and 86%.

Ortronic^®, without any load, consumes 0. The PWM converters, thousands of watts.

Practical Demonstration

The practical demonstration that is going to be described was done by the Spanish state-owned company:

•    Minas de Almadén y Arrayanes, S.A.

•    At a proposal of its Comercial Director, Mr. Ángel Arredondo, Doctor in Industrial Engineer, in the specialization of Electricity, assisted by Mr. Julio Bordas, Corporate Director.

Demonstration Description

The purpose of the demonstration is to certify that Ortronic^® multiplies the work done with the same amount of energy.

For measuring the work done, two different technologies were used, one of them very well known, as the PWM, taken as reference, and Ortronic^®, and the energy to be used was in a storage batteries bank.

The reference was a converter of the prestigious brand called Merlin Gerin, with an efficiency of 88%.

The demonstration consisted in pump water using as the only energy the one that was in the storage batteries bank and the results are shown in the next pictures and paragraphs:
