Abstract:This project attempted to prove the viability of a self-energizing DC electric motor. This motor was powered by a rechargeable battery, charged by a generator. The generator was driven by the electric motor. The motor's efficiency was found to be related to the battery's ability to accept a charge while sustaining a load, as well as the mechanical efficiency of the generator drive.
