Abstract:
Self-generated wind due to the forward progress of a vehicle is captured in an air flow chamber housing a wind energy system, which has a horizontal wind turbine with multiple blades moving in a clockwise direction. The air flow chamber is positioned in an optimal manner to harness the air flow and is essential to producing ecologically desirable wind energy by using a generator to send an AC electric current to be stored in the battery of an electric or hybrid vehicle in order to extend its travel distance.
