ABSTRACT:
A system for generating electricity in a vehicle when the vehicle is not moving at a sufficient speed to drive the on board generators and when the wind is insufficient to drive the generators. In one embodiment, a control unit receives input signals from sensors which determine the vehicle speed and the speed and direction of the wind. In another embodiment, the control unit receives input signals from sensors which determine the total current produced by the generator. Based on these signals, the control unit controls the discharge of air from storage tanks on the vehicle to power the generators. The generators produce electricity which is stored on the vehicle and is used to run the vehicle.
