An apparatus for use on a land site and land vehicle for gathering and converting natural energy into electrical energy comprising:
- (a) a vertical axis wind turbine means suitably attached to a support means for providing energy to a energy storage system, said attached position of the vertical axis wind turbine means is interfaced with a curvilinear generator located at the bottom of the windmill blade which doubles as a railing for the land site apparatus location and land vehicle,
- (b) a solar cell means suitably attached to said vessel for providing energy to said energy system, and
- (c) an energy storage system suitably affixed and interfaced with said vertical axis wind turbine means and said solar cell means sufficient to accept energy therefrom and store for later use.
