ABSTRACT:
A wind-powered system for generating electricity in a vehicle or other power consumption unit generally having a multi-stage impeller system for driving an electric generator/alternator, an improved air channel, and an improved start-up/back-up air compressor. The multi-stage impeller system includes high-speed impellers and low-speed impellers for efficient energy conversion throughout the entire range of a vehicle's operating speeds or forward motion. The improved start-up/back-up air compressor discharges air directly to the multi-stage impellers, abolishing the need for heavy air accumulators. The improved air channel includes a specially formed air scoop/vortex, a wind tube/tunnel and a heating element to increase the velocity of the air passing therethrough.
