Abstract

The electrical energy is the main concern to run of an electrical vehicle. This electrical energy isgenerally obtained from a bank of batteries. These batteries require lot of space, and they areheavier. These facts affect the performance and efficiency of an electrical vehicle. Bloom boxcan utilize both fossil (natural gas) and renewable (stream air) sources to produce electricity. Itsoperation is noiseless. It can supply higher energy although it is smaller in size. Its size andweight is m Zore less than batteries which are used in electrical vehicles. So battery can bereplaced by bloom box in the power distribution panel of an electrical vehicle to supplyelectricity. In addition, carbon nanotubes offer higher conductivity and thermal stability thancopper. So copper can be replaced by carbon nanotubes based yarn of electrical motor in thedrive trains to reduce energy loss, increase efficiency and reduce size and weight of the motor aswell as whole electrical vehicle. In this paper, the carbon nanotubes assisted motor drive train isproposed for an electrical vehicle which is powered by bloom box. The performance of proposedelectrical vehicle has been verified using various mathematical calculation and simulationworks. The simulation has been done using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.0 for Bloom Box layoutand Matlab/Simulink model for direct current (DC) series wound type motor.Keywords: Battery, bloom box, carbon nanotubes, DC motor, electrical vehicle, fuel cell,stator windings
