Definitions
- READS-77 is a Renewable Energy Advanced Device Solution.
- the number 77 “seventy-seven” is read seven-seven, representing twice the degree of perfection because the device is the technology that would advance and expedite the development of electric vehicles, EV-77.
- the capacitance means of the present invention is configured with, and responsive for energizing some of the electronics.
- READS-77 to FENCE “Fuel Efficiency Neutralized Conservative Energy” against global warming is the advancement of the technology to reduce engine fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. This technology is responsive for vehicles to run more on electricity and less on fuel. While in electrical mode, the relative wind force, the rotational axle torque, and the heated energy created between brake pad/shoes rotor/drum are converted into electrical energy and stored in a capacitance responsive for storing additional charge and for energizing some of the in-vehicle accessories.
- the capacitance is configured with a nanotechnology comprising a microprocessor configured with a fuel cell and a battery cell.
- READS-77 to FENCE against global warming is cheaper to design and maintain, and would require less that twenty five percent of the estimated manufacturer's budget to produce such fuel efficient vehicle.
- Fuel efficiency level is the projects main focus through regenerative energy means, which is a much cheaper way to emission reduction and technologically feasible to enable an accelerated program for manufacturers.
- This invention creates the way for much powerful electric motor, since the renewable energy advanced device system will always keep the energy level charged, further creating ways to keep the fuel efficiency level above the Corporate Average fuel economy standard as mandated by The Senate panel.
- the design comprises electric motor, fuel cell means and battery cell means configuration with nanotechnology, fuel engine, electric motor, and renewable energy means.
- READS-77 to FENCE against global warming's final product will increase the fuel economy by more than 20% with just 25% of the $85 billion budget estimated by department of transportation to their 4% goal. This project erases the excuses commonly made by some manufacturers and transportation experts.
- the invention relates to a renewable vehicular energy generator to fence against global warming, specifically to such vehicles which utilizes a plurality of wheels with horizontal axis of rotation, and disposed in at least one axle having means for connecting a clutch means configured with a generator armature rotating relative to the direction of the wind and configured with means for accelerating and guiding the wind towards airfoiled surface of the clutch means.
- the project further relates to electric vehicles triple energy further configured for utilizing the energy of solar panels into converted electrical energy.
- This invention further relates generally to an electrically powered vehicle and more particularly to a system for charging an electrically powered vehicle batteries/motor utilizing a controllable wind-operated turbine configured with a clutch means and electricity generating device/generator armature for energizing the battery cells while the vehicle is in motion.
- the project incorporates a clutch means to enable the energy level to be renewed even when the vehicle is idling, such occurrences are usually seen on a traffic jam.
- gasoline powered “Green House Energy” vehicles is significantly contributing to environmental pollution, environmental noise, refining pollution from crude oil.
- Electrically powered vehicles have been known for solving some of the problems associated with gasoline powered vehicles, but not completely developed in widespread use that would durably operate without being plugged into electrical outlets on periodic intervals. These periodic charging are drawbacks when compared to conventional gasoline powered engines and/or hybrid vehicles.
- This project is related to an electric powered vehicle that can produce electrical energy at any scale and at a lower cost compared to power vehicles that utilize other sources of energy, such as gas and alternators.
- the invention focuses on generating energy by utilizing and accelerating the lowest available wind relative to the vehicle line of motion. The invention would not need as much installation time or repairs, maintenance, or expensive protection against environmental disasters, such as snow and dust.
- the invention further utilizes the wind and/or solar energy to produce electrical energy on a large scale, uses at least a generator for transforming the energy of the wind into electrical energy.
- the invention relates to a renewable vehicular energy generator, specifically to such vehicles which utilizes a plurality of wheels, having horizontal axis of rotation, disposed in at least one wheel, and having means for connecting a clutch means rotating relative to the direction of the wind and configured with means for accelerating and guiding the wind towards airfoiled surface of the clutch means.
- the invention also relates to the power vehicles utilizing the energy of the sun by converting the energy collected by solar panels into electrical energy.
- This invention further relates generally to an electrically powered vehicle and more particularly to a system for charging an electrically powered vehicle battery/motor utilizing a controllable wind-operated turbine configured with a clutch means and electricity generating device/generator armature for energizing the battery cells while the vehicle is in motion.
- the significance of the problem this invention intends to solve is unique to its approach to engine and vehicle emission reduction through a neutralized conservative operating system.
- three means of energy transformation are recognized to constitute a renewable energy that is being transferred to a capacitance means configured with a battery cell means that stores the amount of energy generated and the capacitance means then transferring the required energy necessary to operate the electric motor for the vehicle effectively.
- This technology will constantly renew the energy level of the batteries to allow the vehicle to be electrically operated and the neutralized system is enabled to allow the batteries or the electric motor to cool down.
- a communication means consisting of nanotechnology is operatively connected between the capacitance means and the battery cell means responsive for enabling communication with the capacitance means when additional energy is required for the battery cell means, the electric motor, and the transaxle.
- the communication means comprises a microprocessor means.
- the generator armature for the invention comprises an electromagnetic device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
- the generator armature will maintain the operating energy required for the battery to operate the electric motor effectively and further supplies power to the capacitance means, the ignition system, and all in-vehicle accessories.
- Voltage is induced in a field coil when a change in a line of force passing through the field coil is enabled. This voltage is generated in a field coil of wire “generator armature” as it is rotated in a stationary magnetic field.
- a mechanical switch is configured with the generator armature operatively configured with the shaft for the clutch means as the shaft rotates with the axle shaft. In the projected configuration, the brake rotor, the axle shaft, and the clutch means have the same axis of rotation.
- a cummulator is configured with the armature shaft and operatively connected to the field coil, in connection with segments of the cummutator.
- the segments are insolated and sealed from the environment, and are spring loaded with brushes that ride on the cummutator to transmit voltage and current to the generator terminals that allows electrical energy to flow to the battery cell means, the capacitance, and the electrical accessories.
- Two batteries are in operations each configured to operate at least a set of motor.

- the gradually diverging plates allow the air, flowing out of the wind way, to gradually expand in the vertical and the horizontal directions at a volume, bigger than it had at the entrance 1 , creating a zone of low static air pressure and a tunnel suction in the wind way, and further causing increase in the speed of the wind inside the wind way. Additional, enlarged zone of low static air pressure is provided by the diffuser 57 .
- the low static air pressure is created by the air, captured by the narrow entrances above and below of the airfoiled surface 4 , and gradually expanding inside of the air passages, while also flowing between the plates 100 and 101 , and including the diverging plates to the outlet, below and behind of the exit 2 .
- This low static air pressure creates permanent air suction inside of the tunnel shaped chamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties and an increased wind speed inside of the wind way 85 .
- the possibility of a small whirl and turbulence at the entrance 1 and the exit 2 can occur only in the vertical direction and are reduced by the small angles of inclination of the panels and the divergent plates and diffuser configuration.

Description
- READS-77 is a Renewable Energy Advanced Device Solution. The number 77 “seventy-seven” is read seven-seven, representing twice the degree of perfection because the device is the technology that would advance and expedite the development of electric vehicles, EV-77. With the rapid increase in electronic devices in newer vehicles, maintaining battery energy is accelerated and battery live prolonged with the development of READ-77 because the capacitance means of the present invention is configured with, and responsive for energizing some of the electronics.
- READS-77 to FENCE “Fuel Efficiency Neutralized Conservative Energy” against global warming is the advancement of the technology to reduce engine fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. This technology is responsive for vehicles to run more on electricity and less on fuel. While in electrical mode, the relative wind force, the rotational axle torque, and the heated energy created between brake pad/shoes rotor/drum are converted into electrical energy and stored in a capacitance responsive for storing additional charge and for energizing some of the in-vehicle accessories. The capacitance is configured with a nanotechnology comprising a microprocessor configured with a fuel cell and a battery cell. This project solves the problem of vehicular contribution to global warming through engine fuel efficiency and emission reduction. READS-77 to FENCE global warming final product will increase the fuel economy by more than 20% with just 25% of the $85 billion budget estimated by department of transportation to the 4% goal. This project erases the excuses commonly made by some manufacturers and transportation experts.
- Global warming is becoming harmful to our society and the world in which we live in. Science has proven that carbon dioxide emission is a major contribution to the warming and exhaust fumes from the major fuels used in vehicles generate major percentages of the carbon dioxide. In other to prevent the rapid growth of this warming, fuel operated vehicles would have to be neutralized, in this they will run on dual mode intermittently; fuel and electricity. Current electric vehicles are required to be plugged into electrical outlets after accumulating certain miles since the power generating means can not keep up with the charge required for the vehicle to continuously run on the electric mode/electric motor. Thus, if perfected, electric vehicles are excellent for global warming reduction.
- READS-77 to FENCE against global warming is cheaper to design and maintain, and would require less that twenty five percent of the estimated manufacturer's budget to produce such fuel efficient vehicle. Fuel efficiency level is the projects main focus through regenerative energy means, which is a much cheaper way to emission reduction and technologically feasible to enable an accelerated program for manufacturers. This invention creates the way for much powerful electric motor, since the renewable energy advanced device system will always keep the energy level charged, further creating ways to keep the fuel efficiency level above the Corporate Average fuel economy standard as mandated by The Senate panel. The design comprises electric motor, fuel cell means and battery cell means configuration with nanotechnology, fuel engine, electric motor, and renewable energy means. READS-77 to FENCE against global warming's final product will increase the fuel economy by more than 20% with just 25% of the $85 billion budget estimated by department of transportation to their 4% goal.

The electrical generator armature/transformer is responsive for providing low reluctance path for magnetic flux coupling input and output windings. The transformer is configured to isolate the input from the output to prevent overload and transient pikes on the input line. During normal operation of the vehicle, the voltages across both input and output windings of the generator armature transitioned in accordance with the standard energy supply operation. These transitions would generate displacement energies in the electrical path through the capacitance operatively connected to the microprocessor configured with the vehicle electrical energy means. The capacitance serves as the auxiliary storage medium responsive for supplying energy to the vehicle's standard and future in-vehicle applications, such as power windows, power doors, stereo system, GPS system, TV system, etc.
- The increasing use of gasoline powered “Green House Energy” vehicles is significantly contributing to environmental pollution, environmental noise, refining pollution from crude oil. Electrically powered vehicles have been known for solving some of the problems associated with gasoline powered vehicles, but not completely developed in widespread use that would durably operate without being plugged into electrical outlets on periodic intervals. These periodic charging are drawbacks when compared to conventional gasoline powered engines and/or hybrid vehicles. This project is related to an electric powered vehicle that can produce electrical energy at any scale and at a lower cost compared to power vehicles that utilize other sources of energy, such as gas and alternators. The invention focuses on generating energy by utilizing and accelerating the lowest available wind relative to the vehicle line of motion. The invention would not need as much installation time or repairs, maintenance, or expensive protection against environmental disasters, such as snow and dust. There is no energy vehicle with known availability of a wind powered that utilizes the advantages of the wind and sun as their source of energy. The invention further utilizes the wind and/or solar energy to produce electrical energy on a large scale, uses at least a generator for transforming the energy of the wind into electrical energy.

This technology will constantly renew the energy level of the batteries to allow the vehicle to be electrically operated and the neutralized system is enabled to allow the batteries or the electric motor to cool down. A communication means consisting of nanotechnology is operatively connected between the capacitance means and the battery cell means responsive for enabling communication with the capacitance means when additional energy is required for the battery cell means, the electric motor, and the transaxle. In the invention, the communication means comprises a microprocessor means.
- The generator armature for the invention comprises an electromagnetic device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator armature will maintain the operating energy required for the battery to operate the electric motor effectively and further supplies power to the capacitance means, the ignition system, and all in-vehicle accessories. Voltage is induced in a field coil when a change in a line of force passing through the field coil is enabled. This voltage is generated in a field coil of wire “generator armature” as it is rotated in a stationary magnetic field. A mechanical switch is configured with the generator armature operatively configured with the shaft for the clutch means as the shaft rotates with the axle shaft. In the projected configuration, the brake rotor, the axle shaft, and the clutch means have the same axis of rotation. The rotation creates voltage in the field coil, and the field coil produces more voltage and current in the armature. A cummulator is configured with the armature shaft and operatively connected to the field coil, in connection with segments of the cummutator. The segments are insolated and sealed from the environment, and are spring loaded with brushes that ride on the cummutator to transmit voltage and current to the generator terminals that allows electrical energy to flow to the battery cell means, the capacitance, and the electrical accessories.
- Two batteries are in operations each configured to operate at least a set of motor. One motor being an electric motor and the other being a fuel operated engine. The communication means neutralizes the motors by turning off/on the energy supply to at least their operative means. The focus on the vehicle riding on all electric modes in inner cities where the speed level is maintained below 40 miles per hour, and neutralizing the engines intermittently is enabled when the vehicle's speed is below/above a preset speed limit. The number of the blades for the clutch means is chosen for air to sufficiently leave at least one blade outside of any tangential plane to the inner circle of the clutch means. The clutch means is positioned farthermost of the vertical axis of rotation and has the front sides of the blades facing the prevailing wind above the horizontal axis of rotation. The clutch means will be facing the wind in the same manner, with the front sides of the blades located above the axis.

module 41 to provide means for transferring axle rotational torque from the haft of the clutch means into electrical energy required to operate the vehicle effectively on electric mode. A nano-sensor for controlling the rotational speed of the clutch means is configured with an actuator, responsive for activating the sensor. A diffuser is further configured with the clutch means responsive for controlling wind flow into the airfoiled surface. - The exit of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties is connected to the diffuser, configured with at least a plate. These plates are gradually diverging from each other and from the wind way, leaving narrow air gaps, and allowing the air to be pumped inside of the areas between the airfoiled surface and the tunnel shaped chamber by the rotating clutch means, and escaping through these gaps, creating an additional suction from the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed. The plates are adapted to connect the walls, partially diverged in the area of the exit. One of the plates is connected with the back side of the last of the guiding plates. Both back sides of the plates of the diffuser and the diverged parts of the vertical walls provide an enlarged area of the exit, gradually expanding in vertical and horizontal direction compared with the area of the entrance, which is expanding only in vertical direction. This enlargement of the area of exit creates a zone of lower static air pressure, causing additional tunnel suction for the wind flow from the wind way. The diffuser is comprised of the diverged plates for directing the flow of the wind inside of the hub and for controlling the perimeter of the extended zone of the exit.

The processor means transfers the electrical energy to kinetic energy that propels the vehicle. The switch means is operatively connected to the motor to enable the flow of electricity that propels the motor in forward or reverse direction. The motor is configured with regenerative braking means responsive for conservation of energy by means of transferring the kinetic energy back to electrical energy when pressure on the accelerator is released to enable the conversion energy to initially slow down the vehicle. A battery cell means is provided responsive for additional energy storage that further powers the electric motor of the vehicle.

- The present invention disclose a renewable vehicular energy generator comprising variable high speed generator armatures for producing the electrical energy and capable of utilizing even the smallest wind. The wind power generator according to the present invention comprising a tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties expanding towards a flowing direction of wind and a wind wheeled axle connecting a clutch means turbine configuration with the generator armature/rotor responsive for generating electricity, disposed at a position adjacent to an entrance for a wind flow into the tunnel shaped chamber.
- In other embodiment of the present invention, the tunnel shaped chamber is disposed at an open space comprising the static pressure of wind both in front of the entrance and at the rear of the exit, which is substantially equal to the static pressure of atmospheric pressure outside the tunnel shaped chamber. The pressure greatly drops around the entrance inside the tunnel shaped chamber. Accordingly, wind flowing in from the front of the entrance into the tunnel shaped chamber sharply accelerates around the entrance and gradually decelerates toward the exits, while the pressure is recovered to substantially equal to the static pressure of the atmospheric pressure at the exit.
- The tunnel shaped chamber expands toward a flowing direction of wind, which has negative pressure and converges around a position on a slightly downstream side of the entrance inside the tunnel shaped chamber, which provides an area of high-speed wind to output wind power thereat, which is then converted into electrical energy.
- At least a powerful and quiet clutch means is provided and connected on one wheel axle. The wheel has a base and the clutch means has plurality of blades spaced apart and distributed along an axis of symmetry. Each of the wheels is configured with at least a stability conversion means, a wheel rim, and wheel hub cover, and providing an inner space for generating electrical and mechanical energy to enable power storage. Both the rim and the hub cover are having wind passage the shape of a polygon with angles between vertical sides, providing air flow space there between.
- A plurality of vertical/horizontal supports is secured between the stability conversions, forming air concourses between the hubs of the axles and the wheel, these air concourses creating openings for the wind, blowing from every direction between the supports and the stability conversions. The generator armature/rotor is mounted on the wheel axle, one generator armature in each of the air concourses, each of the generator armatures having an imaginary vertical/horizontal plane of symmetry, and identifying one side of the generator armature facing the wind, as a front side, and the opposite side vehicle side, positioned in the direction of the wind is the back side. The generator armature is operatively configured with a battery cell operatively connected to a microprocessor. The microprocessor is responsive for communication and for monitoring the energy environment of the cells and allows it to be renewed at a rate that will not generate excessive heat on the batter cells.
- Each of the generator armatures comprises means for transforming wind force into electrical energy and equipped with at least: (1) a clutch means, having horizontal axis of rotation perpendicular to the vertical plane of symmetry, positioned on axle structural assemblies, or mounted on the supportive structure; (2) an airfoiled surface, opened to the wind flow from the entrance, defined by the front side, to the exit, defined by the back side, mounted on the supportive structure and encasing the upper and the lower lines of clutch means placed in opposite side of the vehicle axle, and plates on two opposite side of the vehicle axle on the vertical walls, allowing the central half-shafts of the clutch means to protrude through the vertical walls to the axle structural assemblies, controlling the wind into a tunnel shaped chamber; (3) a tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties, configured with the airfoiled surface capable of having a low/high flow, gradually converging in the vertical direction entrance to the wind, and contracted in the vertical direction by guiding plates, defined as a wind way, and a high and wide exit, gradually expanding in the vertical and the horizontal directions and positioned in the exit of the airfoiled surface.
- The tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties is covered from the wind most of the surface of the clutch means, allowing at least one blade of each clutch means to protrude in the wind way upwardly in one configuration, and other configuration downwardly for the clutch means defined as the upper line. The blades of the clutch means of the upper line appears in the wind way between the blades of the clutch means of the lower line, allowing the clutch means to discharge the air in the direction of the back side of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating the aerodynamic properties.
- The wind blows from the entrance through the wind way towards the exit, striking on the blades of the clutch means and causing a rotation in the counter-clock wise direction “relative motion” when the clutch means is on the lower line, and in the clock-wise direction when the clutch means is on the upper line. Air is pressed in the vertical direction in the wind way and flows according to the law of conservation of mass, which constitutes that; the mass of the air entering into the entrance of the airfoiled chamber is equal to the mass of the air passing through the cross-section. The speed of the flow is bigger than the speed of the wind at the entrance of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed and in relation to the ratio between the height of the entrance to the height of the wind way, since the width of the tunnel shaped chamber where air flows at such variable speed remains the same. The clutch means have more power if configured with the tunnel shaped chamber of the present invention as compared with the same clutch means placed in an ambient wind flow.
- The efficiency of the clutch means is limited to at least 60 percent of the power of the wind and 40 percent the axle rotation, minimizing frictional force, though a lose of the power of the clutch means may occur due to friction, viscosity, turbulence and other associated factors. Applicant also assumes that one will utilize at least 40 percent of the power of the clutch means for producing electrical power and the remaining 60 percent will go to the axle rotational force. Additionally, the power of the generator armature when configured with at least a clutch means as an example, will proximate the power of more than 200 clutch means of the same size, placed in the ambient wind of a radiator fan, taking into account the increase of the tunnel suction resulted in lowering of the static air pressure at the exit of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed. Accordingly, the armatures as implemented in the invention is configured with a diffuser, a booster and other means that can restore the speed of the wind, striking on the blades of the next clutch means to the environment of the speed of the wind that strikes on the first blades.
- The generator armature of the present invention is operatively configured to generate energy at the speed of the ambient wind less than at least 7 m/h. This speed is considered low to find any known devices that have large clutch means. Though, this is the average speed of the wind blowing mostly around the environments near the ground as the vehicle begins to motion. Automotive companies or consumers will not be looking for the windiest places for the power vehicles to wheel them at high elevations. A small increase in the speed of the wind creates about 60 percent increase in power. The blades are configured so that the clutch means propels the said blades when the energy environment is required to be raised. The clutch means is further configured with means to prevent the blades from accelerating the flow of the wind when the microprocessor communicates that the energy level is sufficient, thereby prolonging the life and reducing frictional force effect on the clutch means.
- The clutch means is further configured to be enabled when the vehicle is in motion with the blades propelling wind of no less than 7 m/h to produce the average power from the electrical generator and, at the same time, there are long periods of time, when the vehicle will store excess energy, since the average speed of the wind is much less at some conditions. The invention is configured to energize any vehicle and at any environment, increasing many times the existing wind at the vehicle wheel base. The behavior of the tunnel shaped chamber is comparable with the flow of a river, rushing fast between high and narrow banks after a slow motion along wide planes. All water passing between the narrow banks, according to the law of continuous flow. The speed of the wind between the narrow banks is as many times faster, as many times the distance between the wide banks at the entrance will be bigger than the distance between the narrow banks.
- To ensure, that the wind blows with such high speed all along the wind way, the invention has several innovations:
- 1. The exit of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties, has bigger cross-sectional dimensions than the entrance, which creates a gradual expansion of the air flowing out of the tunnel shaped exceeding the volume which it had at the entrance, enabling a drop in the static air pressure at the exit and increasing the tunnel suction in the wind way to promote the wind flow from the entrance to the exit.
- 2. The tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed for generating aerodynamic properties, has a cross-sectional view along the vertical plane of symmetry similar to a venture and a shape of a rectangle in the cross-sectional view perpendicular to the wind flow to enable contracting the wind in vertical/horizontal dimension of the converging nozzle panel, thereby creating minimal disturbance and very small whirl for the wind streams.
- 3. The converging nozzle panel for the entrance of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed for generating the aerodynamic properties is configured with inner and outer plates connecting the vertical and horizontal slots in the outer plates and allowing some distances between the plates for the air to strike on the plates and passing through the slots to flow to the wind way between the plates, breaking down the possible small whirl at the entrance.
- 4. A diffuser providing extended zone of low static air pressure for the exit of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed and a tunnel suction in the wind way.
- 5. A booster providing extensions to the areas of the entrance and the exit of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed for generating the aerodynamic properties and increasing the contraction ratio of the tunnel shaped chamber at the same time, diminishing the small whirl at the entrance and lowering the static air pressure at the exit.
- 6. A clutch means capable to withstand any high rotational speed is configured to generating energy in succession with the turbine, and to transfer a large rotational torque towards at least an electrical generator armature to be further transformed into electrical energy.
- 7. A symmetrically loaded horizontal mounting of the clutch means, allowing high rotational speed on the radial axle structural assemblies, configured with less possible resistance for the rotation and symmetrical distribution of the applied stress on the blades of the clutch means.
- 8. Solar panels comprising solar cells, affixed on the dashboard panel, and configured with a microprocessor means communicatively connected to the solar panel tiltable plates mounted along/across the dashboard. In one embodiment, the solar panel could be configured and responsive for deflecting the wind from the stability conversions towards the air concourses, located above the stability conversions. These panels and plates are further configured for gradually contracting the wind streams flowing towards the air concourses, increasing the speed of this wind streams, and gradually expanding the wind streams flowing from the air concourses.
- 9. The solar panels mounted on the dashboard panel further configured for converting the solar energy into electrical energy and operatively connected to the microprocessor means coupled with capacitance means responsive for power storage assemblies which may be positioned within the structure of the vehicle or in the stability conversions.
- The electrical energy collected by these storage assemblies can be used for initial orientation of the generator armatures.
- Innovations have not produced electrical energy exceeding the energy produced by the conventional alternator. The automotive wind energy has much bigger and less expensive applications and very capable of generating energy in the wide range of the wind speeds, suitable for the present invention. The disclosed features of the present invention intercepts most of the energy of the wind blowing towards the whole area of the front side of the wheel, including the areas of the stability conversions and the air concourses, and concentrates the energy on the small areas of cross-sections of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties, at the same time increasing the suction in the tunnel shaped chamber at the back side of the wheel.
- Accordingly, an object of this invention is to provide renewable vehicular energy through a generator armature communicatively connected to a clutch means operatively connected to the vehicle's axle and capable of producing large amount of electrical energy through the wind force.
- Still, another object of the present invention is to provide an airfoiled surface and a tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties capable of increasing the vehicle wind and encasing plurality of clutch means configured with the airfoiled surface and the tunnel shaped chamber and completely utilizing the energy of the wind accumulated therefrom. Yet, another object of the preset invention is to implement a clutch means capable of withstand very high rotational speed and transferring large rotational torque and energy quietly and smoothly. The clutch means having a relatively small diameter. The object of the invention is to further achieve many other objectives, such as putting a plurality of clutch means on a vehicle operatively connecting plurality of electrical generator. The conventional clutch means in a vehicle creates big centrifugal forces and stress related failures. The present clutch means of the instant invention is suitable to energy in consecutive line with other clutch means, capable to energy with wind above 100 miles per hour configured with resistant to any harsh conditions, such as ice, snow and rain.
- Another object of the present invention is to install symmetrically at least a generator to a clutch means, so that each of the generators comprising an armature loaded with only a half of the rotating torque. Still, another object of the present invention is to provide a clutch means, rotating in the direction of the wind and relative to the direction of the vehicle having radial axle structural assemblies. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a fully microprocessorized control of the energy generated by the wind powered vehicle. This control include constant monitoring of the rotational speed of the clutch means, closing the entrances of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, and generating the aerodynamic properties while also providing idle rotation for the clutch means, positioning the generator armatures towards the prevailing direction of the wind.
- Still another object of the present invention is to utilize the solar radiation in addition to the wind power to receive the electrical energy by installing solar panels on the dashboard panel and in communication with the electrical generator armature operatively connected to the axle of the wheel configured for realizing an additional source of energy when the electrical generator armature is stopped, and for reducing continuous operation of the clutch means due to friction.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to place the clutch means on the walls of the airfoiled surface, the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties configured with seals such as protective steel seals for minimizing environmental effect on the impact of the power vehicle. Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the drawings and the description.

electric motor 50, theelectric motor transaxle 52, and the fuel cell means 53 of theinternal combustion engine 51 to reduce the common mode emissions and increase continuous operation of thevehicle 10 in electric mode. The capacitance means 60 provides low impedance path for displacement energies flowing between input and output windings of thegenerator armature 40. The energy transfer specifically deals with the reduction in common node noise by the energy transfer elements, such as the generator armature/transformer 40. The generator armature/transformer 40 comprises a circuit that takes input AC current voltage and outputs a DC current voltage “AC-DC converter.” The generator armature/transformer is further configured to rectify the AC current voltage and elevate the DC current voltage level.

The opposing force there between is then converted into electrical energy by the generator armature/rotor 40. This energy is the energy that is required to power theelectric motor 50 for thevehicle 10. Theshaft 36 for the clutch means/turbine 30 is further configured such that, as the axle spins, the axle rotation is then transferred to theshaft 36 for the clutch means/turbine 30, enabling the generator armature/rotor 40 to convert the rotational speed/torque into electrical energy required for empowering the electric motor/transaxle vehicle 10. When thevehicle 10 makes frequent stops, heat is created due to friction, and the sensor means 55 traps the heat, enabling the generator armature/rotor to further converts the heat into electrical energy required for the operation of the electric motor/transaxle vehicle 10. -
FIG. 7 further depicks the invention, further comprises using plurality of vertical/horizontal supports secured between stability conversions 23 to formair concourses 48 between the hubs of the axles and the wheel. Theseair concourses 48 enable openings for the wind, blowing from every direction between the supports and the stability conversions 23. The generator armature/rotor 40 is mounted on thewheel axle 20, onegenerator armature 40 in each of theair concourses 48, each of thegenerator armatures 40 having an imaginary vertical/horizontal plane of symmetry, and identifying one side of the generator armature facing the wind, as a front side, and the opposite side vehicle side, positioned in the direction of the wind is the back side. Thegenerator armature 40 is operatively configured with the battery cell means 65, which is operatively connected to themicroprocessor 70, and communicatively configured with the fuel cell means 53. Themicroprocessor 70 is responsive for enabling communication and for monitoring the energy environment of the battery cells means 65, allowing the battery cell means to be renewed at a rate that will not generate excessive heat, while also conserving energy by means of neutralizing the internal combustion engine/electric motor mode, switching to fuel system when the heat level exceeds a maximum threshold, and back to electric when the heat or all conditions are normal. The neutralization means will allow the vehicle to run more on electricity and less on fuel, enabling a fuel efficient operation of theinternal combustion engine 51 to FENCE against global warming, and at the same time, charging the battery cell means 65. There exist a separate battery configuration for the fuelinternal combustion engine 51, running off at least a six volt battery cell means and being charged by the renewable system. - Each of the generator armatures 40 comprises means for transforming wind force into electrical energy and coupled to at least: (1) a clutch means 30, having horizontal axis of rotation perpendicular to the vertical plane of symmetry and positioned on axle structural assemblies, or mounted on the supportive structure; (2) an airfoiled surface 4 opened to the wind flow from the entrance 1, defined by the front side, to the exit 2, defined by the back side, which are mounted on the supportive structure and encasing the upper and the lower lines of the clutch means 30 placed in both opposite side of the vehicle axle 20, and configured with plates 100, 101 on two opposite side of the said vehicle axle, notably on the vertical walls, allowing the central half-shafts of the clutch means to protrude through the vertical walls to the axle structural assemblies, so that controlling the wind 5 into a tunnel shaped chamber is enabled 48 a; (3) the tunnel shaped chamber 48 a defined as an area through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties, configured with the airfoiled surface 4 capable of having a low/high flow that will gradually be converging in the vertical direction entrance 1 to the wind 5, and contracted in the vertical direction by the guiding plates 100, 101 configuration, defined as a wind way, and consisting of high and wide exit 2, gradually expanding in the vertical and the horizontal directions, and which are positioned in the exit of the airfoiled surface 4.
- The tunnel shaped
chamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties is covered from thewind 5 most of the surface of the clutch means 30, allowing at least oneblade 35 of each clutch means 30 to protrude in the wind way upwardly in one configuration, and other configuration downwardly from the upper line. Theblades 35 of the clutch means 30 of the upper line appears in the wind way between the blades of the lower line, allowing the clutch means 30 to discharge the air in the direction of the back side of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, generating the aerodynamic properties and cooling theaxle 20 and thegenerator armature 40. - The switch means is configured with the vehicle starting system to turn on energy to at least a motor. The motor is coupled with a transmission means. When the vehicle is engaged in motion the wheels of the vehicle rotate and the rotational torque is then transmitted to a renewable energy advanced device solution “READS-77” configured with the
wheel axle 20. READS-77 then converts the rotational torque, the opposing wind torque, and the regenerative energy from the braking means into electricity that is then used to neutralize the operation of theinternal combustion engine 51 and the operation of theelectric motor 50. READS-77 is further configured with atraction converter module 71, such that as theinternal combustion engine 51 is neutralized, the traction converter module continues to operate the vehicle in motion by converting the electricity derived from READS-77 for use by an electric motor or an electric 50motor transaxle 52. The electric motor/transaxle wheels 25 to keep thevehicle 10 in motion. A transmission means 400 is coupled with the motor to transmit variable mechanical/electromechanical torque to vary the operating speed of thevehicle 10. Because more energy is created as the wheel turns, the energy from theinternal combustion engine 52 is conserved as the engine is neutralized, emitting no CO2 during the neutralized period of the vehicle's operation. - Because of the tri-energy generative means configured with the wheel through the wheel rotation, the opposing wind torque, and the braking means, more energy is created to enable the
electric motor transaxle 52 maintain a maximum rotational torque to vehicle speed, thereby eliminating the need of prolong use ofinternal combustion engine 51 and emitting no CO2 during the neutralized period in response to FENCE against global warming. READS-77 to FENCE “Fuel Efficiency Neutralized Conservative Energy” against global warming is the advancement of a technology to reduce engine fuel consumption and vehicular CO2 emissions as further seen inFIG. 11 . This technology is responsive for vehicles to run more on electricity and less on fuel. While in electrical mode, the relative wind force, the rotational axle torque, and the heated energy created from a braking means are converted into electrical energy and stored in a capacitance means 60 responsive for storing additional charge and for energizing some of the in-vehicle accessories. The capacitance means 60 is configured with ananotechnology comprising microprocessors 70 configured with the fuel cell means 53 comprising the fuel system forvehicle 10, and battery cell means 65. This invention solves the problem of vehicular contribution to global warming through engine fuel efficiency and CO2 emission reduction. READS-77 to FENCE against global warming enables vehicles to run on less than 30% fuel and over 70% on electric mode. The fuel mode is enabled to initiate electrical charge for the batteries and for allowing the electric motor to cool down. If the motor temperature is sensed to be above prescribed limit, then the electric mode is neutralized as the fuel mode is enable while the batteries remain charged through READS-77, and then the fuel is neutralized again as the batteries are fully charged and the electric mode enabled. Because the system uses advanced renewable energy charging method, vehicles will be able to run more than seventy percent of the time on electricity and less than thirty percent of the time on fuel, which may include highways. - The communication means 70 is a solid state device such as semiconductor diodes, transistors, and silicon controlled rectifier “SCR” configured to enable switching and/or amplifying the flow of electrons in the circuit responsive for neutralizing the
electric motor 50 and theinternal combustion engine 51. The neutralization is operatively configured for ignition by switching On/Off the primary and secondary engines “Electric motor 50 andinternal combustion engine 51 ” to enable a FENCE against global warming.

The perimeter of the upperwheel rim 26 is smaller than the perimeter of the lowerwheel rim 27 in such a way that it provides a bigger distance from the vertical side of the lowerwheel rim 27 to the wall 84. The size of theflow chamber 85 provides a possibility to configure with thewheel 25 theflow chamber 85 and a clutch means 30 configured withelectrical generator armatures 40 and/or in connection with at leastsolar panels 90 mounted within thevehicle 10 and/or thedashboard 91. Themicroprocessor 70 is configured for controlling the energy of thevehicle 10. Additional walls or plates are configured with theaxle 20 or the stability conversion 23 to provide more rigidity and integrity to the structure of the flow ofwind 5. - Returning now to
FIG. 4 a, plurality of stability conversions 23 are presented, positioned on eachwheel 25. Thewheel 25 is symmetrical relative to the imaginary vertical axis distributed between theaxles 20. The stability conversion 23 is positioned at the vertical axis of symmetry, defining the height of thewheel 25. Plurality of vertical/horizontal supports 49 are provided, secured between theseals 6 and 7 of the clutch means. The exact number of thevertical supports 49 and their cross-sectional size is chosen minimal to the axle weight for providing the stability for thewheel 25 and, at the same time, for providing less possible interference with the wind flowing between the supports. Plurality ofair concourses 48 is formed along the height of thewheel 25 between thevertical supports 49 and the stability conversions 23. The air concourses 48 are configured for the flow of wind from every direction.

All the clutch means 30 are configured for high rotational speed and are equipped with
blades 35, having a shape of a triangular prism with two sides, one of which, shown by the numeral 37, defines a front side of theblade 35, and the other, shown by the numeral 38, defines a back side of theblade 35. The front side of theblade 35 is positioned on a part of a radius from the horizontal axis of rotation and has an outer end, defining theouter circle 00 of the clutch means 30 and an inner end, defining an inner circle 01 of the clutch means 30, the distance between these two circles defines the height of theblade 35. The back side of theblade 35 is connecting the outer end of the front side of theblade 35 with the inner end of the front side of theadjacent blade 35, creating a streamlined surface between theadjacent blades 35 and forming a closed perimeter 02 of the clutch means 30. This closed perimeter will not allow thewind 5 to penetrate inside the clutch means 30 and into the zone of the horizontal axis of rotation. The perimeter makes the clutch means 30 rigid and balanced, allowing high rotational speed and high rotating torque. Referring now toFIG. 5 , the number of theblades 35 is chosen to be sufficient to leave at least one blade outside of any tangential plane to the inner circle 01 of the clutch means 30. In other embodiment, the clutch means 30 is positioned farthermost of the vertical axis ofrotation 22 and has the front sides of theblades 35 facing the prevailingwind 5 above the horizontal axis of rotation. Still in other embodiment of the present invention, the clutch means 30 faces the wind in the same manner, facing thewind 5 with the front sides of theblades 35 located above theaxis 22. In some instances, the clutch means 30 are facing the wind with the front sides of theblades 35 located below theaxis 22. - The
blades 35 are made of thin sheet metal, bent at the lines of the outer circle 84 andinner circle 00.

base 31 assembled at theaxle 20. Theelectrical generator armature 40 further comprises amodule 41. Themodule 41 is positioned at proximity to thearmature 40, and has at least adisk 42. A central wire harness/terminal 44 is connected to the module and configured with thedisks 42, enabling an electromagnetic clutch means operation. The module disks are configured to provide additional rigidity to the clutch means 30 effective configuration of thegenerator armature 40.

Asensor 55 for controlling the rotational speed of the clutch means 30 is configured with anactuator 56, responsive for activating thesensor 55. Adiffuser 57 is further configured with the clutch means 30 responsive for controllingwind flow 5 into theairfoiled surface 4. - Referring to
FIG. 6 a is seen a simple outline schematic of the clutch means 30 and the electric generator armature/transformer 40 configured with two ends for input windings/nodes A and B, and two ends for output windings/nodes C and D as seen inFIG. 7 . When there is a voltage transition on the input winding, node B approaches positive relative to node A, while the voltage on node D increases relative to node C. The voltage transitions generate displacement energy in a parasitic capacitances resulting in energy flowing to electrical earth, which is substantially reduced by the winding of theelectric motor 50 for thevehicle 10 seen inFIG. 6 d. Referring back toFIG. 6 a, the clutch means 30 is encased by anairfoiled surface 4. Theairfoiled surface 4 is shaped as a hollow conduit, having an upper side, a lower side, and opened to the wind flow defining anentrance 1, and anexit 2 operatively connected to theairfoiled surface 4. Theairfoiled surface 4 is having a rectangular cross section perpendicular to thewind flow 5 and the axle vertical plane of symmetry as seen inFIG. 6 b. It is understood that all parts of thegenerator armatures 40 are positioned symmetrically to the plane of symmetry, identifying the side facing thewind 5 as a front side, the opposite side of the vehicle positioned in the direction of the wind as a back side, the sides lying from both sides of the plane of symmetry as lateral sides, with the clutch means shaft rotating around the winding of thegenerator armature 40 as seen inFIG. 6 c. - The
vertical walls 49 seen inFIG. 6 b are bent at vertical lines behind the clutch means 30 and diverged laterally outwardly symmetrically to each other on the same axle in the direction of the back side, at an angle of at least 15 degrees from the vertical plane of symmetry. Anupper plate 100 is defined by the upper side of theairfoiled surface 4, and alower plate 101 is connecting thevertical walls 49, encasing both lines of the clutch means 30. Theplates front side 103; aback side 104 and twolateral sides 102 partially diverged laterally outwardly to theback side 104 to adapt thevertical walls 49. Theupper plate 100 positioned at some distance from thehub 83 and thelower plate 101 positioned at some distance from the flow platform of the clutch means 30, providing an open space for anunobstructed wind flow 5. The horizontal distance between the front sides and the back sides of theplates plates plate 100 points upward andplate 101 points downward. The vertical distance between the front sides of theupper plate 100 and thelower plate 101 defines a height of theentrance 1 of theairfoiled surface 4, and the distance between the back sides of these plates defines a height of theexit 2 of theairfoiled surface 4. - The height of the
exit 2 from the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties is equal to the height of theentrance 1 where the angle of inclination of theupper plate 100 and thelower plate 101 are chosen approximating zero. The tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties is configured with theairfoiled surface 4 between thevertical walls 49 and theplates chamber 48 a comprises anentrance 1, located at the entrance of theairfoiled surface 4, depicted by thesame number 1, are contracted in the vertical direction of the low middle part, define as a wind way to anexit 2. Theentrance 1 to the tunnel shaped 48 a also is characterized as a nozzle. - The
exit 2 of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties is connected to the diffuser, configured with at least a plate. These plates are gradually diverging from each other and from the wind way, leaving narrow air gaps, and allowing the air to be pumped inside of the areas between theairfoiled surface 4 and the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a by the rotating clutch means 30, and escaping through these gaps, creating an additional suction from the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed. The plates are adapted to connect thewalls 49, partially diverged in the area of theexit 2. One of the plates is connected with the back side of the last of the guiding plates. Both back sides of the plates of thediffuser 57 and the diverged parts of thevertical walls 49 provide an enlarged area of theexit 2, gradually expanding in vertical and horizontal direction compared with the area of theentrance 1, which is expanding only in vertical direction. This enlargement of the area ofexit 2 creates a zone of lower static air pressure, causing additional tunnel suction for the wind flow from the wind way. - In other embodiment of the invention,
plate 104 is the lower pumping plate, positioned between the outer circles of the clutch means beneath the guidingwalls 49. The lower pumping plates are having a front side, a back side, an upper surface, a lower surface and two lateral sides; these lateral sides, fixed to thevertical walls 49. The front sides are positioned below of the horizontal axis of rotation of the clutch means 30, and the back sides are positioned close to the back sides of thelower guiding walls 49. Thelower pumping plates 104 direct theair 5, discharged from theblades 35 of the clutch means. The flow to the upper pumping plates is similar to the flow to the lower pumping plates. The upper pumping plates are enabled to direct the air, discharged from the blades of the clutch means 30 along the lower surface of the guidingwalls 49. These pumping plates are configured to redistribute the air flow, pumped by theblades 35 of the rotating clutch means 30, in the space between the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, and theairfoiled surface 4, increasing the efficiency of the clutch means. - The
diffuser 57 is comprised of the diverged plates for directing the flow of the wind inside of thehub 83 and for controlling the perimeter of the extended zone of theexit 2. The outer surfaces of these plates are responsive for digressing, enabling the ambient wind streams to blow along the outer surfaces, such as above, below and along the lateral sides. In addition, thediffuser 57 is contracting these wind streams between theplate 100 and thehub 83 and between theplate 101 and the horizontal platform of the clutch means 30. The digressed and contracted wind streams are increasing speed and lowering the air pressure around the extending zone of theexit 2, providing additional tunnel suction for the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties. All the mentioned plates and walls, the diffuser, airfoiled surface and the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties are made of durable, strong and rigid material, having less possible coefficient of friction with the wind flow. - A plurality of openings in the
vertical walls 49 allows some of the air, pumped inside of the inner space of theairfoiled surface 4, to blow towards theelectrical generator armature 30, providing cooling effect. At the entrance I of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, alower deflecting plate 101 is seen covering the flow of wind towards the clutch means 30. Thegenerator armature 40 is configured with the clutch means. In one embodiment of the invention, the height of the air exit is larger than the height of the air entrance. Theentrances 1 to thediffuser 57 are situated close to the front sides of the upper 100 and lower 101 plates. - Since the height of the
air concourses 48 can be chosen equal for all the environments of thewheel 25, thegenerator armatures 40 is configured with the clutch means 30 and positioned in the lower line. Theairfoiled surface 4 of thegenerator armature 40 consists of an ample space both in the vertical and the horizontal direction. Thegenerator armature 40 is positioned at the rear of the clutch means configured with the diffuser 116. - In other embodiment of the present invention, the
diffuser 57 comprised of abooster 57 a configured with the clutch means 30 to provide an area ofentrance 1 to the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a and the area ofexit 2. Thebooster 57 a provides an additional fast flowing air to the entrance of the tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, from the areas below and ahead of theentrance 1 and diminishing the turbulence of the wind in the entrance, at the same time lowering the static air pressure at theexit 2. The plates are configured for providing additional guiding surfaces for the air, flowing out of theexit 2, allowing the air to gradually expand and flying from theexit 2, lowering the static air pressure behind the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed and generating aerodynamic properties to create an additional tunnel suction for the wind way. Thebooster 57 a further provides additional fast flowing air to the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a from the area below and ahead of theairfoiled surface 4 and further lowering the static air pressure behind the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties. Thebooster 57 a, theairfoiled surface 4, the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a, thediffuser 57, the guidingplates 101 and thepumping plates 100 are maid of a rigid, strong and durable material configured for the lowest possible coefficient of friction with thewind flow 5. Thegenerator armature 40 is configured with thediffuser 57 and operatively connected to thebooster 57 a, partially encasing it with theairfoiled surface 4. - Referring to
FIG. 7 depicts energy generating from agenerator armature 40 configured with the clutch means 30 and operatively connected thebooster 57 a and/or thediffuser 57. Thegenerator armature 40 is operatively configured so that when there is a voltage transition on the input winding, node B will approach positive relative to node A, while the voltage on node D increases relative to node C. Thegenerator armature 40 comprising a small air gap phasing the outer circles of the clutch means 30, allowing a thin stream ofwind 5 to flow unobstructed there between. The guidingplates wind 5 discharging from thevehicle 10 movement and theblades 35 of the clutch means 30, increasing the speed and the force of thewind 5 by striking on theblades 35 and theplates air gap 003 is received by diminishing the outer circle of the clutch means 30 and by increasing the distance between the lower line and the upper line of the said clutch means 30. - A partial cross-section of the clutch means 30 is seen in
FIG. 6 a showing passages where the wind flows through. The clutch means 30 has acylindrical collar 004 configured with maximum radius for allowing rotating the clutch means around the axis 23 between the supports.Plates walls 49. The clutch means 30 is positioned slightly below theairfoiled surface 4 for diminishing friction as thewind 5 flow. Thewheels 25 provide stability and security against the wind on the environment of the clutch means 30. The wind poweredvehicle 10 is configured with a microprocessorized system communication means 70 operatively connected to a battery cell means 65 in communication with the capacitance means 60 configured with thegenerator armatures 40. Theaxle 20 and the clutch means are protected from snow, rain, vertically blowing wind and from sun. The vertical supports 49 are fixed to theaxle 20 supporting thewheel 25. Thehorizontal plate vertical supports 49 connected to the axle. The sensor means 55 is circumferentially arranged around theaxle 20 and configured with a capacitance means 60 in communication with the communication means 70. - Referring to
FIG. 8 is seen at least a sensor means 55 configured for theair concourses 48 and the temperature surrounding the braking means 1 10. The sensor means are spaced circumferentially around the vertical/horizontal axis of rotation of thebrake rotor 115 and/or the brake drum “not shown” above the clutch means 30. Each sensor means is operatively connected to the communication means /microprocessor 70 and indicates the energy position of thegenerator armature 40 towards the prevailingwind 5 as seen inFIG. 8 b, enabling themicroprocessor 70 to send initial command to theelectric motor 50 for thevehicle 10. Referring toFIG. 8 a, theplates air concourses 48. These plates are configured for connecting the flow ofwind 5 towards the perimeters of thewheel 25 and within the perimeters of theaxles 20, contracting thewind 5 entering into the air concourses 23, enabling the clutch means 30 to further increase the speed of the wind to advancing the efficiency of the flow. Thesolar panels 90 are mounted on thedashboard 91 or on theroof 92, and configured withantenna 93 extending outwardly. The plates are made of rigid, strong and durable material, having low coefficient of friction. - The
generator armature 40 is configured withentrance 1 for thewind 5. The streams of the wind are contracted by the converging panels to a wind way, where the wind presses in the vertical direction and flows much faster than the speed of the ambient wind. At theexit 2, the gradually diverging plates allow the air, flowing out of the wind way, to gradually expand in the vertical and the horizontal directions at a volume, bigger than it had at theentrance 1, creating a zone of low static air pressure and a tunnel suction in the wind way, and further causing increase in the speed of the wind inside the wind way. Additional, enlarged zone of low static air pressure is provided by thediffuser 57. The low static air pressure is created by the air, captured by the narrow entrances above and below of theairfoiled surface 4, and gradually expanding inside of the air passages, while also flowing between theplates exit 2. This low static air pressure creates permanent air suction inside of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties and an increased wind speed inside of thewind way 85. The possibility of a small whirl and turbulence at theentrance 1 and theexit 2 can occur only in the vertical direction and are reduced by the small angles of inclination of the panels and the divergent plates and diffuser configuration. The whirl at the entrance I is reduced by theslots - The speed of the wind flowing along the
wind way 85 is at least 8 times faster than the speed of the ambient wind, and in the embodiments of the present invention, configured with thebooster 57 a, this increases the wind speed to more than 12 times. At least oneblade 35 of the clutch means 30 is protruding at any time in thewind way 85, and striking the wind on the front sides of theblades 35 causes a fast rotation of the clutch means 30. Most of the air trapped between theblades 35 is discharged back into thewind way 85 by the back sides of theblade 35 a configured for less friction with the incoming air. In the embodiment depicted inFIG. 7 , the generator armature comprises the primary input winding A and B, the additional balance winding C and D is configured for theelectric motor 50 of thevehicle 10 and designed to oppose the electrostatic field generated by the input winding A and B. In other embodiment, the number of turns are selected such that the net electrostatic field from the combination of the balancing and input windings exactly matches that generated by the output winding. This achievement will enable a differential field between the primary and secondary circuits to approach zero and the displacement energy also to approach zero. - The
blades 35 of the invention have a shape of a triangular prism, providing a possibility to generate energy with almost any reachable speed. Since there is only a small volume of air accumulated between theblades 35, the rotation of the clutch means 30 is smooth and quiet and creates fewer wind disturbances flowing in thewind way 85. Consequently, less air is pumped in the inner space between theairfoiled surface 4 and the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a. The helically pitched blades are also an alternative, allowing very quiet and smooth rotation of the clutch means 30. Theseblades 35 allow continuous impact of the wind. The design of the helically pitched blade allows the wind discharged from the clutch means 30 to strike the adjacent blades at the right angle in a zigzagging way. Another embodiment of the clutch means 30 provides a smooth and quiet rotation. The shown clutch means 30 comprise several connected modules, and these modules are connected in such a way, that the blades are shifted by an angle from a center point, defined by the horizontal axis of rotation of the clutch means 30, rotating relative to the direction of the wind, so that the blades appear in the wind way at a different time and the wind is striking on the blades and discharges from the blades with smaller portions of air. - Referring now to

booster 57 a responsive for increasing the contraction ratio for the flow ofwind 5 in the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a, and for diminishing the possibility of small whirl and turbulence at theentrance 1 and at theexit 2 of the tunnel shaped chamber. Thebooster 57 a further lowers the static air pressure at theexit 2 of the tunnel shaped chamber. The generator armatures 30 is configured with thebooster 57 a and thediffuser 57, both creating a large combined zone of low static air pressure at theexit 2 of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a, providing more tunnel suction, and greatly increasing the smallest wind at theentrance 1. The increased contraction of thewind 5 at theentrance 1 of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a and the increased suction of the air at theexit 2 provide a possibility to position thisgenerator armature 30 on any chosenvehicle 10. - The operation of this wind powered vehicle is completely microprocessorized and controlled by the
microprocessor 70. Themicroprocessor 70 comparing the time between the signals from the sensor means 55 for the powered vehicle, and when the time is becoming close for thegenerator armature 30 to be enabled, themicroprocessor 70 communicates that signal. Themicroprocessor 70 is connected with tobattery cell 65 means and the capacitance means 60 responsive for transferring of the electrical energy. Themicroprocessor 70 is constantly in communication with, and monitoring the energy of the electric motor in communication with the capacitance means 60 and thegenerator armatures 30. - In other embodiment of the invention, the
solar panels 90 and theplates wind 5 from the stability conversions 23 towards theair concourses 48, gradually contracting thewind 5 flowing towards theair concourses 48, and gradually expanding thewind 5 flowing out of theair concourses 48, there by increasing the wind speed inside of theair concourses 48 and the efficiency of the clutch means 30. Thesolar panels 90, mounted on thedashboard panel 91 and/or on the axle support, providing additional electrical power to the wind flow. The disclosed features of the present invention are configured to intercept most of the energy of the wind, blowing towards the whole area of the front side of thewheel 25. - The present invention more specifically relates to the wind power generator that produces high output power of electricity by increasing wind flow speed to empower vehicle batteries and/or an electric motor for a
vehicle 10.Wind power generator 30, which utilize anatural wind flow 5, sometimes fail to produce sufficient wind power depending on the state of thevehicle 10. Therefore, it is suggested that by employing some means to generate sufficient power,wind flow 5 is accelerated to expedite the generation of energy to energizeelectric motors 50 forvehicles 10 and/or vehicle battery cell means 65. The present invention provides a wind speed-up device capable of efficiently increasing wind flow speed with a simple structure to enable automotive fuel independence and/or to generate electric energy effectively and efficiently. - Referring to
FIG. 10 a is seen an extension of the wind speed-up device chamber 48 a having a cylindrical shape and expanding from theair entrance 1 towards anexit 2 through which wind flows. Theentrance 1 of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a comprises anairfoiled surface 4 which is opened outwardly with a curved surface. An opening of theexit 2 is configured with a collar-shapedflange 12 that outwardly expands. An area adjacent to theentrance 1 is adopted for outputting the generated wind power, which is then converted into electrical energy. The structure of the present invention provides wind around the axis of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a, flowing in from the front of theentrance 1, and pulls in slow wind flowing along aninner wall surface 25 a of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a towards the rear side of theexit 2, thereby obtaining a high-speed wind area adjacent to theentrance 1. Thus, another object of the present invention is to provide a wind power generator having a wind wheel axle rotating with thewheel 25, and configured with a tunnel shaped chamber through which air flows at a variable speed, generating aerodynamic properties, which generates high output power by efficiently increasing wind flow speed. - Referring to
FIG. 10 is seen thegenerator armature 30 of the present invention responsive for generating power, disposed at a position adjacent to the inlet of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a. The resistance by the wind against thewheel 25 prevents separation of a wind flow on an inner wall surface of the tunnel shaped chamber, even if an angle of inclination of a side wall portion against an axis is increased to more than 6 degrees. Since rotation of thewheel 25 and the clutch means 30 accelerates the flow rate ofwind 5 in a radial direction of the tunnel shaped chamber, the wind flow on the inner wall surface of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a is further prevented from separating, and wind flowing in from theentrance 1 of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a is smoothly flown along the inner wall surface towards theexit 2. Therefore, even if the angle of inclination of the side wall portion is increased at the maximum degree, separation of the wind flow on the inner wall surface of the tunnel shaped chamber is prevented until the wind flow reaches theexit 2. - The
wind 5 is fed from theentrance 1 of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a, and flows smoothly along the inner wall surface to theexit 2 without causing separation of wind. Therefore, the wind flow is made to have negative pressure around theentrance 1 of the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a, and recovers pressure without a great flow loss until reaching theexit 2, thereby efficiently accelerating wind velocity to generate high output power that is transformed into electrical energy. In other embodiment of the present invention, a horizontally mountedshaft 36 turns the clutch means 30, which provides input to its configured gear box which increase a rotation speed and turns thegenerator armature 40 that converts the shaft power into electrical power. - In another object of the present invention, the
entrance 1 to the tunnel shapedchamber 48 a is preferably a curved and/or rectangular surface which smoothly expands toward an outside of the tunnel shaped chamber. Any of these structures enables wind in the proximity of the front of the entrance of the tunnel shaped chamber and is smoothly be fed, enabling the flow rate of the fed wind to increase in a radial direction by rotation of the clutch means 30 configured with means for generating electrical energy. Said means is disposed adjacent to the entrance. Accordingly, separation of wind from the inner wall surface of the tunnel shaped chamber around the entrance is further prevented. - The further object of the present invention is to more efficiently realizing an area of high-speed wind to generate high output electrical energy for a
vehicle 10. The energy can be transferred to the existing acid batteries, lithium batteries, and special battery cells that would expedite the development of fuel-independence electric vehicles that would not need to be plugged. It is another object of the invention, by combination of a clutch means having aerodynamic features and mechanical means, to increase the efficiency of electric vehicles energy system, forming an adequate speed/acceleration control system for thevehicle 10. The clutch means configuration with the wheel is useful for generating electrical energy. Theelectrical generator armature 30 responsive for converting the energy absorbed from the wind into electrical energy is operatively connected to the vehicle's axle structure. - It is further an object of this invention to provide a wind energy system having clutch means 30 configured with support frames to basically presents a wind energy vehicle, where at least a portion of the kinetic energy possessed by the wind is converted into mechanical energy comprising tangential flow to the clutch means 30 responsive for rotation around the axis of the wheel. Each clutch means 30 having the form of a hollow prism in wind-direction, a curved surfaces configured with a shaft mounted on an axle structures fitted into support frames, and arranged symmetrically at the axle structural assemblies. Wind-deflecting
plates plate - To increase further the efficiency of the tangential airflow through the clutch means 30 without essentially changing the compact and robust structure of the prism-form,
slots slot 105 is positioned just behind the convexly curved surface part. Theslots wheel 25 having a passage to the central part of the clutch means 30. The clutch means 30 comprises a rotatable structure operatively connected to axle/spindle means configured with asupport frame 49 and at least aplate 100. - All the embodiments of the present invention are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive; the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description.
