(3 of 7) - The Tilley Electric Vehicle
by Jerry Decker for KeelyNet

It is this author's opinion that Tilley uses the same mystery spinner box in his electric vehicle conversions that he does for his building power system. Once he got the building power system to work reliably, he got the idea to install it in an electric car that would never need recharging.

The primary difference is where the building power system uses a single shaft DC motor to drive the spinner, the car uses a DUAL SHAFT motor to drive the spinner with one shaft and provide drive using the other shaft for the vehicle transmission.

You can see the early dual shaft motor photos at the bottom of the prior page (#2) of this series. Of course in actuality, he uses a much larger motor as required to propel the vehicle.

As with the building power supply system, the electric vehicle appears to this writer to use standard off the shelf parts in an electric car conversion. The only mystery is the spinner device whose secret we can only guess at until someone duplicates the claim, they become available for purchase or are disproven as a hoax/fraud.
