Automative energy recovery system for electric vehicle

An energy recovery system for a vehicle for conversion of kinetic wind energy into electricity, the energy recovery system comprising:

• at least one rechargeable battery;
• a wind collection device for the conversion of the kinetic wind energy into electricity;
• a control module to transfer electricity generated by the wind collection device to electricity-consuming components of the vehicle and/or the rechargeable battery from the wind collection device,
• wherein:
• the wind collection device comprises:
• a housing forming a flow passage having a surface area,
• at least two ventilators in the flow passage,
• a number of deflectors equal to a number of the at least two ventilators to direct and accelerate air through the flow passage, and
• at least one energy converter for the conversion of the kinetic wind energy into electricity;
• the housing of the wind collection device has an axis of symmetry determining a direction of the air flow;
• the ventilators each comprise a rotor shaft that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the housing;
• each of the deflectors of the wind collection device is positioned upwind relative to the ventilators;
• and
• the axis of symmetry of the housing lies in a horizontal plane of movement of the vehicle.
