1. An electro-mechanical power system for an electric vehicle (EV), the system comprising:
an electric vehicle motor (EV motor) that drives a shaft that provides mechanical or electrical power to the electric vehicle;
an EV battery module coupled to the EV motor and configured to deliver electric power to the EV motor;
a dynamic recharge system (DRS) connected to the EV battery module, the DRS comprises:
an ambient air intake;
a turbo coupled to the air intake and including a turboshaft that is spun via airflow from the air intake,
wherein the turbo uses the airflow across the turbine blades as the mode of force to generate the torque to spin the motor generator rotor to create power that is used to charge the EV battery module and/or to provide instantaneous power to the EV motor; and
a generator assembly including a generator and a generator control module, wherein the generator includes: a motor having a rotor mechanically linked or coupled to the turbo shaft or a motor shaft and receiving rotational energy (torque) from the turbo shaft or the motor shaft, and a stator that converts the rotational energy to electrical power;
wherein the generator control module includes control electronics that manage and provide the electrical power as an output to the EV battery module and/or the EV motor;
wherein the DRS further comprises air cooler exhaust tubing that directs the airflow exiting the turbo over the EV battery module and/or the brake rotor and thereby provides additional cooling of at least one battery of the EV battery module and/or the brake rotor;
wherein the DRS further comprised smoothing circuitry within the generator control electronics and configured to provide a constant DC output, wherein the smoothing circuitry is coupled between the motor and the output.
