EAS™ and EMIS™
“EAS™” means Electric Assist System. The Electric Assist System (patent pending) is used to convert combustion engine vehicles to combined gasoline/electric hybrid vehicles. EAS™ is an economic and environmental breakthrough.
EAS™ – Improves vehicle performance by:
- Substantially improving fuel economy
- Through reduced fuel consumption, reducing emission of environmental pollutants, including “greenhouse gases”
- Extending the vehicle’s useful life by reducing engine wear
For example, in our Delivery Truck Prototype, NetGain converted a post-1995, gasoline engine, rear wheel drive, automatic transmission vehicle to a combined gasoline/electric hybrid vehicles. NetGain also created and tested a Blazer Prototype.
EAS™ consists of an electric motor, batteries and a control system (EMIS™, patent pending) that provides electric power to the drive shaft SIMULTANEOUSLY with power from the gasoline engine in your vehicle.
With the objective of enhancing fuel economy (as well as pollution reduction), the EMIS™ regulates power from the batteries to the motor, strategically powering the electric motor to assist the internal combustion engine in accelerating the vehicle.
EMIS™ refers to the Engine/Motor Interface System. EMIS™ is a patent pending technology developed by NetGain Technologies, LLC that controls an electric motor configured into the drive train of a conventional vehicle to assist the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) by applying strategic amounts of electrical assist power when it is most beneficial to the fuel economy of the vehicle.
EMIS™ interfaces to a conventional vehicle’s system to ascertain the current demands being requested of the internal combustion engine by the driver. Based upon numerous parameters, EMIS™ instantaneously determines the amount of electrical assist power that can be applied to the drive train electric motor in order to seamlessly assist the internal combustion engine.
The electrical assist power is applied in a totally transparent manner and the driver is normally not even aware of the electrical assist. The system is so transparent, that there are no changes needed to the driver’s normal driving routine. The amount of additional power that can be supplied is limited by the size of the electric motor, the power capabilities of the motor controller, and the batteries that are installed.
Fuel efficiency gain opportunities are greatest when the vehicle operates in first and second gear, which is when EAS™ does the most to assist the internal combustion engine. During this period, the electric motor will materially reduce load on the internal combustion engine and transmission, thereby lowering fuel consumption. Consequently, deployment of EAS™ results in better fuel economy, lower emissions and reduced wear and tear on the engine and transmission.
In general, EAS™ generates fuel economy gains that depend upon the fuel efficiency of your existing combustion engine, the efficiency of the electric motor, the daily drive cycles of the vehicle, the amount of battery capacity designed and the overall efficiency of the drive train.
