2 AWODI POWER MACHINE BACKGROUND O F THE INVENTION (0001) The Invention relates t o a source of energy that is capable of generating of sustainable Electricity required t o powered Electrical plug-ins and also drives an engine related machines; such as Electric Vehicles, planes, boats, etc. (0002) Awodi Power Machine comprises of an inputs, central system and output unit connected in such a way as single machine. (0003) the inputs includes, battery, inverter and two AC motors which drives and pushes propeller shaft in triangular arrangement with pulley and belt system. (0004) The propeller shaft is built fitted t o drives the Armature from which the required load(s) is/are connected for uses. (0005) This Invention upgraded-capacities depends on its application of loads, a replacement for Generators, Internal Combustion Engines as regarded of this it is eco-friendly. SUMMARY O F INVENTION TECHNICAL PROBLEM (0006) There are pollution problems from finite fossil fuels and other forms with high resultant emission of carbon dioxide, thereby depleting ozone layer. SOLUTION TO THE PROBLM STATED IN 0006 ABOVE (0007) the Invention provides complementary source of energy that is clean, reliable and sustainable for private and public consumption. The two electric motors that drives and pushes "two way drives" the propeller shaft, one of the motors takes its primary power source from Battery via an inverter connected t o the alternate electric motor and other alternate electric motor takes energy

3 supply from generated energy from Armature and the two motors are connected by pulley and belt system t o propel the shaft which in-turns drives the Armature that generates electricity. (0008) A governor device is added in-line with the propeller shaft for purposes of power upgraded; two way drives the less effects of energy losses the greater effects for power generation (0009) The start point is the final point of effective power link; the primary A C motor takes energy from primary source through inverter t o drives propeller shaft that in-turns drives the Armature and the generated energy provides output for the auxiliary motor, The output serves auxiliary AC motor, other loads t o make up two way drives (2WD) t o reduce load pressure o n battery-inverter for smooth running. (0010) The battery life is maintained by a in-built electronic charging unit as part of the load requirement for the purposes of sustainability. THE ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS O F INVENTION (0011) provides an alternative t o fossil fuels sources of energy that is complete lack of pollution t o its environment by this present invention. (0012) minimizes fire disaster outbreaks attracted from fossil fuels, leakages of pollutants, oil spillage, noise pollution and other forms of hazardous substance through activities of petroleum products. (0013) provides substitute for building filling stations, oil farms o r re-charging stations for vehicles, other fossil fuels dependants and electric vehicles as the present invention does not depends o n external sources of energy t o operates. (0014) provides an energy source for powering plug-ins and other engines related machines for desired period of operations.

4 (0015) it is an invention that is upgradable t o various capacities t o meets the user's needs ranging from 650VA and above. (0016) provides unique solution t o the troubled world of global warming or climate changes t o a bearable level until its cut across all nations of the world, that is t o industrialize this invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION O F INVENTION (0017) The Invention is further described by way of example with reference t o the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is the configuration of Awodi Power Machine of this invention Figure 2 is the side view of Awodi Power Machine DESCRIPTION O F PREFERRED EMBODIMENT (0018) The accompany drawings illustrates Awodi Power Machine "power generator" according t o the invention which includes base plate of breadth (12.40 Inches), length (19.69 Inches) and designed t o carry siting arrangement of components of this invention. (0019) The two AC motors has equal capacity (3400 RPM, single phase) are mounted o n fixed adjustable support o n straight line said 180, the motor's head are fixed with pulley. Referring t o figure 2, connecting propeller shaft as shown in the drawing. (0020) The propeller shaft has a built-in fitted pulley; Diameter=1.26 Inches Width= 0.59 Inches Groove width= 0.24 Inches

5 (0021) The Armature is supported with three legs; two legs at one ends, other at propeller shaft position and a movable and adjustable bolts and nuts for fro and tro movement t o position the Armature for smooth running t o reduce effects of friction due wrong alight that could generate excessive heat therefore damaging component. (0022) Figure 1 shows the configuration of Awodi Power Machine while figute 2 shows the side view of this invention (0023) Referring t o figure 1, primary energy source of 12Volt battery connects t o inverter (500watts) where driving AC motor (3400 RPM, single phase) takes its supply when the inverter is switch on. The driving AC motor propel the Armature through propeller shaft with pulley and belt system gets the machine automatically synchronize together with secondary A C motor and in-built electronic charger. (0024) The combination of A C motors one taken power through inverter and other from the Armature via generated energy joint together t o effectively drives and pushes the propeller shaft o r in addition a governor device in-line of shaft also t o drives and regulates the speed of Armature without much forces required for the process of power generation. This process is continuous for several times of operation t o power electricity bulb (100 watts), clipper, blender and other loads. (0025) Pulley and belt system became choice of the two way drives due t o its flexibility and compatibility over chain and sprocket for pulleys t o successfully interact. (0026) This invention has potential t o sustain itself for continue power generation. That is a designed portion of generated energy allocated t o power auxiliary A C motor t o aid and reduces pressure of load of primary A C motor on

6 battery, and for in-built electronic charger t o maintain battery life for subsequence uses. This concept makes Awodi Power Machine is independent of external sources of energy. (0027) the power switch is linked with inverter t o start-up the Awodi Power Machine and other components synchronize automatically, the battery remains connected and charging simultaneously. This process is similar t o process of using electronic gadgets (phones, Laptop and other) and charging them while using. (0028) when the power is switch off, the energy is cut-off from the driver 'primary A C motor and after that the machine has the tendency t o continue running until power surge occurs may be say application of loads can put off the entire machine latter. On the other side if the in-built electronic charging unit and auxiliary AC motor (equate car alternator ) are cut-off from supply, the stored energy in the battery gradually runs down and eventually brings the machine t o a rest state 'law of motion'. This principle is parallel t o cars. ' (0028) the machine can be switch off in two ways, the power on/off linked with the inverter and from the output. It is important t o note categorically that the invention described in the full context of power machine has competitive advantages over the conventional sources of energy. The invention is not limited t o the preferred embodiment; there may be amendments, changes, variations and modifications t o the basic design and not deviating from the inventive concepts in this invention.
