  • Patent number: 5280827
    Abstract: An electric motor-driven vehicle has a large wind turbine mounted at the rear of the vehicle that rotates about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle body. A long venturi tube extends along the upper portion of the vehicle above the passenger cab and directs air flow from the front of the vehicle and impinges it upon an upper portion of the turbine blades. A pair of elongated lower screw-type turbines are contained in separate lower venturi effect tubes extending along the lower side of the vehicle below the passenger cab. Air from the lower venturi effect tubes is impinged upon the large turbine in a direction and at a location to increase the force generated from the upper venturi tube. The turbines drive one or more electric power generators coupled to storage batteries for recharging the batteries.
