V.V. Shkondin is a world renowned Russian inventor. He has received his world distinction due to his advanced developments in the field of creation of a new type of electric motor (Motor Wheel) for application in transport.
Back in 1975, he set a goal for himself to create a motor that would surpass the traditional electromotors in the sphere of transport. This idea occurred to a person who was a journalist by education and who was working in the Institute of the Russian language named after A.S. Pushkin during his work on the philological thesis «Variance of Lexical and Grammatic Units in the Russian language». He came to the conclusion that nobody had ever dealt seriously with variance of engineering units relating, in particular, to the functions of electric motors. (after he finished high school, V.V. Shkondin worked in the Central Electromechanical Workshop for repair of electric motors for coal combines and coal cutters). In fact, just several types of electric motors are invented fulfilling multipurpose tasks with high losses. As he was at service in the army, he studied radar-tracking instruments and he understood that it was possible to use the quantum principle of operation even in traction motors. V.V.Shkondin began to work on the idea. He fabricated motors in his home conditions, right in the kitchen. He tested the first unit of the pulse inertia electric motor at the beginning of the 80th. At that time, V.V. Shkondin worked as the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Pedagogics Publishing House and the Editor-in-Chief of Book Printshop Soviet-Canadian publishing house where his work schedule appeared to be sparing enough. Within 10 years, he fabricated about 70 versions of motors for different types of transport. The unique principles of the unipolar and alternating pulses created inside of the motor by an electromechanical trigger used in Shkondin’s motors are confirmed by a dozen of Russian and international patents. During movement, the trigger makes it possible to return a part of the electric power in the form of pulses to the storage batteries. It improves efficiency and ensures superiority of the motor specifically in the transport sphere. Besides, it consists not of 25 subassemblies as in other electric motors, but only of five, and there is no external electronic control. The use of a small number of parts in Shkondin’s motor improves its reliability, and the cost price appears twice lower than of the electromotors of other types.
Now, the laboratory of Shkondin’s Motor–Wheel Open Company is working on creation of motors of a new generation. It is already the fourth generation. At the stage of preparation for series production, complex scientific and engineering researches are in progress. They are directed at development of calculation and design methods, improvement of constructions, and increase in engineering parameters of the electric motors of the motor–wheel type.
