Abstract:
A vehicle has a frame with a body including a front and roof. The vehicle includes an electric motor energized by a battery pack, containing batteries, and connected to a battery charger/regulator. A driveshaft operatively connected to and driven by the motor propels the wheels of the vehicle. The vehicle further includes at least a pair of venturi effect air nozzle windstream accelerators comprising the design of the front of the vehicle, the front of the vehicle being wedge-shaped, having a sharp edge, generally horizontal and close to the surface or road upon which the vehicle travels, the front sloping backward and upward to the roof of the vehicle, thereby scooping up the horizontal headwind column of air developed upon vehicle movement. The accelerators further include at least a pair of venturi effect structures mounted on the roof, each containing a wind-electric generator, operatively connected to the battery charger/regulator.
