When applied to electric bicycle or motorcycle, said wind ele~ctric power generating unit (30) is fixed on its front. Fig.23 shown as a preferred embodiment of the present invention to be applied to airplane (47); and the wind electric generating unit (30) can be fixed on its wings or other proper place.
When airplane is gliding, it gathers the strong airflow to propel the wind electric power-generating unit (30) to generate electricity. It is without doubt that airplane mentioned here is only one of the specific embodiments of various aircrafts. The present invention can also be applied to various other aircrafts, such as shown as Fig. 23 or Fig. 24, for both aero-detecting and recreation, even to glider. It can also be used together with other generating units such as solar energy generator as auxiliary power supply to enhance the aircrafts' endurance.
As mentioned above, the air inlet of said wind electric power generating unit (30) faces the windward side of the electric vehicle.
Take electric vehicle (40) of Fig.3 or electric vessel (46) of Fig.11 and Fig.12 as example, the wind electric power generating unit is better installed on the top of the transportation vehicle, which can help gather airflow and promote wind electric power generating unit (30) to generate electricity as auxiliary power supply to the motor.

As illustrated in Fig.13 and Fig.15, a preferred embodiment of the wind electric power generating unit (30) also includes a wind-gathering
6 ,,='~'+' device (31) installed at the front of said wind electric power generating unit (30). Said wind-gathering device (31) comprises a pair of air throttles (34) that are controlled by a driving unit and can be pushed outwards to adjust cross section area of said air inlet. Said driving unit can employ a servomotor (33) to drive a pivot that enables the air throttles (34) attached to it open and close in a certain angle. When the electric vehicle remains motionless, the air throttles are closed. Once the vehicle is running, the air throttles (34) are pushed outwards by the driving unit to enlarge the cross section-area of the air inlet to gather airflow.

A preferred embodiment of the wind electric power generating unit (30) is that it is fixed on the top of the electric vehicle as shown in Fig.9 and Fig.10, on the front top of the vehicle as shown in Fig.7 or on the back top of the vehicle as shown in Fig.4 and Fig.8. Besides, it can also be fixed on two different parts at the same time; or as shown in Fig.18, to be fixed on the top of the vehicle (40) extending from its front to its back. In this embodiment, the wind electric power-generating unit (30), as shown in Fig.19 and Fig.20, consists of two or more sets of turbine generators in series connection. Fig.16 and Fig.17 illustrate an embodiment in which there are installed multiple wind electric power generating units (30). Fig.13-15 illustrates a wind electric power-generating unit (30) consisting of multiple sets of turbine generators in parallel connection. Moreover, as shown in Fig.21 and Fig.22, and please refer to Fig.5; different from above-mentioned horizontal shaft type turbine generator, the present invention can also be embodied as vertical shaft type turbine generator. When the electric vehicle is running, as shown in Fig.3, there are fast and strong airflow above the top of the vehicle. No matter which type of wind power generator is employed, either the horizontal one of Fig.13-Fig.20 or the vertical one of Fig.21-Fig.22, it can gather satisfactory airflow upon the
7 windward side of the vehicle and generate electricity as auxiliary power supply. Furthermore, the present invention can also be embodied as shown in Fig.6, Fig.7 and Fig.8 to have wind electric power generating unit (30) installed at any of the front top, front or back front of the vehicle.

The primary obstacle in utilizing wind power to generate electricity lies in that the airflow is extremely unstable, sometimes strong, and sometimes weak and sometimes even no airflow at all. Because of this, traditional windmill-style wind power generator is not supposed to take place of other means of generating electricity. But what is original in the present invention is that the wind power generator is installed on a transportation vehicle and utiiizes the airflow when speeding or even gliding to generate electricity as auxiliary power supply. In short, the device of the present invention is actually the best cooperator to other means of generating electricity on transportation vehicles. It can generate electricity by utilizing airflow gathered when the vehicle is running and replenish power supply and further enhance its endurance.
The present invention not only can be applied to newly build electric vehicles, but also can be equipped to the existing ones as auxiliary power supply to improve their performance.

As the flow shown in Fig.2, the present invention, like traditional electric vehicles, can uses electric supply (20), or solar energy generator (21) or other electric power such as fuel battery (22) to store electricity into its car borne battery (23) in advance. When electric vehicle starts, the battery (23) outputs electricity to motor (24) to operate (25). Some vehicles are even equipped with a minor generator (26) that generates induced current through the revolving of axle to be stored in the main battery (23). However, the present invention specializes in that it utilizes the relative airflow to promote wind power
8 a00*' generator (27) to generate electricity to replenish power supply to driving motor and the secondary battery stores input electricity generated by the wind electric power generating unit to drive the vehicle.
Basically, it is possible to employ a rectifier and / or voltage manostat unit (29) to control electric current. In other hand, as mentioned above, the present invention can employ a secondary electricity storage device (28) in parallel connection, i.e., the secondary auxiliary battery (31) as shown in Fig.4. Thus, the device of the present invention has at least two connected batteries, the first one of which, i.e., the main battery (23), directly transmits electricity to the motor, the second of which stores input electricity generated by the wind electric power generating unit as auxiliary power supply.

The above-mentioned embodiments give evidence of the operability of this invention in details. However, if anyone masters this technology and invents a similar system that has difference either in appearance or in details, will be held legal responsibility of trespassing the originality and patent of this invention. Although certain preferred embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described in detail, it should be understood that various changes and modification might be made therein without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
