Abstract
Electric generating assemblies wherein such assemblies are intended to be mounted on a vehicle, such that a front of a hollow funnel is directed to the front of the vehicle. As the vehicle moves forward, the funnel picks up wind which is passed through the funnel and turns a fan which contains vanes that have leading edges wherein the leading edges are one inch or greater distance from the inside wall of the funnel, which generates electricity.
Claims10
An electric generating assembly, said assembly comprising:
- A) an air collection funnel, said funnel having a front end opening and a back end opening, said front end opening being larger in size than said back end opening;
- B) a fan, said fan having vertical vanes having leading edges, said fan mounted in a predetermined position in said funnel such that a portion of any air moving through the funnel contacts said vanes and a portion of the air moving through the funnel passes said vanes, said vanes leading edge being one inch or more in distance from the interior wall of the funnel;
- C) said fan being mounted on a shaft and said shaft extending below said funnel a predetermined distance, said shaft having a terminal end;
- D) an alternator mounted on said terminal end;
- E) said alternator being electrically attached to a voltage regulator by electrical wires.
