In the case of an electric vehicle, unlike a vehicle using an internal combustion engine, the engine does not need to be installed, and thus, the wind power generator 100 may be installed in a space where the engine of the conventional vehicle 10 is mounted. Of course, in addition to this, the wind power generator 100 may be installed anywhere where wind may be introduced from the outside during the driving of the vehicle 10.

The inside of the vehicle 10 is provided with a collecting unit 102 for collecting the air flowing from the front air inlet 101, the air can be introduced into the plurality of wind turbine (100) in the collecting unit (102). A plurality of moving tubes 110 to be described later branched so as to be described. Of course, when only one wind turbine 100 is installed or when the moving pipe 110 is formed to extend directly from the air suction port 101, the collecting unit 102 may be omitted.

The wind power generator 100 includes a moving pipe 110 through which air is introduced and moved, a filter unit 120 installed at an end of the moving pipe 110, and connected to the moving pipe 110 to adjust the amount of air flowing therein.
