Claim 9:
10. An apparatus for providing multiple modes of locomotion for a vehicle, said apparatus comprising:
a prime mover including a stator, a first rotor, and a second rotor, said stator including an axle, said stator including a first set of poles extending radially from said axle, said first set of poles cooperating with a first set of magnets associated with a cylindrical portion of said first rotor, said stator including a second set of poles extending radially from said axle, said second set of poles cooperating with a second set of magnets associated with a cylindrical portion of said second rotor, and said first rotor and said second rotor rotate independently about said axle;
a first driver including a first set of spokes operatively connected radially from said first rotor, a distal end of each one of said first set of spokes operatively connected to a rim such that said rim rotates with said first set of spokes; and
a second driver including a first set of blades operatively connected radially from said second rotor, a distal end of each one of said first set of blades extending toward said rim, and said first set of blades configured to draw an air stream through said plurality of spokes when said prime mover causes said first set of blades to rotate about said axle.
