Abstract
The invention discloses a non-fuel combusting air turbine assembly suitable as an auxiliary or primary power propulsion system for a vehicle. The systems include an air turbine engine powered by a compressor mechanism to increase the potential energy that is harnessed by the turbines, having a noise reducing air intake section for delivering air to the compressor. Additionally, the systems include a turbine mechanism composed of plural sets of stationary vanes and rotating vanes, preferably arranged alternatively, and a battery rechargeable by a generator operable by the rotating turbine vanes.
Claims13
A power propulsion system for a vehicle, where said system is used in conjunction with a secondary propulsion mechanism, said system comprising:
- a non-fuel combusting engine powered by an active rotary compressor mechanism to increase the potential energy harnessed by the turbines, said air turbine engine comprising an air intake member opening towards the front of said vehicle, a centrifugal operating compressor to actively accelerate and compress the air passing through said intake member, transmitting said compressed air to a turbine assembly, where said assembly comprises plural concentric vanes, a first set of said vanes being stationary and a second set of said vanes alternately positioned with said first set of vanes, and an air exhaust in communication with said first sand second sets of vanes, said system further including a rotary subhousing to drive said compressor and said second set of vanes.
A non-fuel combusting air turbine system for powering a vehicle, said system comprising:
- a non-fuel combusting air turbine engine powered by an axial compressor mechanism to increase the potential energy that will produce said high velocity stream of air, said air turbine engine comprising an intake member opening towards the front of said vehicle, an axial operating compressor in electrical communication with an electrical generating mechanism to actively accelerate and compress the air passing through said intake member, transmitting said compressed air to a turbine assembly, where said assembly comprises plural concentric vanes, a first set of vanes being stationary and a second set of vanes alternately positioned with said first set of vanes, an air exhaust in communication with said first and second set of vanes, said system further including a rotary subhousing to drive said axial compressor mechanism and said second set of vanes.
