Abstract:
1. A mobile energy recovery apparatus comprising: an airfoil having a top and bottom outer surface and first and second ends connected in communication with first and second accumulators, wherein at least one of the outer surfaces house a low pressure expulsion port in communication with the first and second accumulators, the accumulators connected in communication with a low pressure side of a mass airflow device; a ram air intake having a duct terminating in a high pressure induction port in communication with a high pressure side of the mass airflow device; a low pressure generated at the low pressure expulsion port and a high pressure generated at the high pressure induction port when air passes by the airfoil and into the ram air intake; and the high and low pressure together providing a pressure differential at a mass airflow device for harvesting energy from passing air.
