Title: Automobile motion electric generator

Description:
FIELD OF INVENTION 
     The invention is concerned with auxiliary generators to recharge batteries of either electric or hybrid electric cars. The generators will generate electricity when air moves through fans as the automobile moves or during breaking. In particular the present invention has fan generators on the hood, roof, and/or rear trunk or boot area. 
     BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 
     The burning of gasoline, diesel, and other fossil fuels has presented recurring problems for automobiles. At various times especially during petroleum shortages the price of gasoline and other liquid fossil fuels has skyrocketed causing concern for those that use fossil feels for transportation to work and for pleasurable pursuits. For this reason there has been great efforts by automobile industry to produce automobiles that use less petroleum-based products. One approach for lessening the use of petroleum-based products is the use of all electric or hybrid electric gasoline powered cars. That is automobiles with batteries that could either totally power the car, or assist the car during periods of high energy use such as acceleration from stop or when going up longer hills. 
     In recognition of this problem there has been a number of attempts to use the wind air that passes over the automobile to power generators/alternators to product electricity from air flow which airflow that would otherwise go to waste. This electricity would be stored in batteries for later use. There are two major driving conditions for producing air energy. As the automobile is slowed and stopped the energy that would be dissipated by the brakes the car is transformed into electricity to be stored in the battery. Likewise during downhill movement of automobiles adds extra momentum to the automobile which momentum is converted into electricity to be stored in the battery. 
     The novel aspects of the present invention is that there are two or more generators in each air hood with fans to generate electricity. Likewise there are up to three hoods/generators for the automobile, on in the front of the motor section, on the roof of the car, and one over the trunk/boot of the automobile. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The invention is an air motion electric generator system for automobiles. Each air motion generator system comprises a hood with fans and two or more electric motors/generators operationally connected to both an electric storage battery and to a control mechanism. Control mechanism manages electric current from battery to electric generator/motors. This generator/motor is an axillary power source to move the automobile. A control mechanism manages electric current from electric motor/generator to storage battery. The electric motor/generator accelerate or decelerate the automobile through wheels and electric motor/generator generates electricity when said automobile is decelerating and this electricity is stored in battery. Driver directed device operator control mechanism to accelerate or decelerate said automobile. 
     The invention has one or more hoods to focus moving air. These hoods contain two or more electric producing devices powered by one or more fans. Control mechanism directs said electric current from electric producing devices to battery. Hoods are mounted on said grill area, and/or on the roof, and/or on the trunk boot part of the automobile.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES 
       FIG. 1  outlines the front view of invention  101 . Invention  101  has a hood  103  to focus moving air. Within hood  101  is affixed two or more electric producing devices  107  powered by one or more fans  105 . A shows a single fan  105  with an electric producing device  107  affixed at each end. B shows fans  105  with three electric producing devices  107  D E F , electric producing devices  107  D,  107  E each on the ends of fan  105  and one electric producing device  107  F in the middle. As air flows over fans  105  electricity is produced. 
       FIG. 2  shows invention  101  with section view through fans  105  and electric producing device  107 . As moving air  109  passes through fan  105  fan  105  rotates producing electricity from electricity producing device  107 . 
       FIG. 3  side view of invention  101  mounted on front/grill  101  H under hood  108 . Hood  108  is shown in open position. Likewise, invention  101  is mounted on top  101  I and trunk/rear  101  J of workpiece automobile  109 . 
       FIG. 4  is operational diagram of air motion electric generator system of invention  101 . One or more electric motors/generators  111  is operationally connected to both an electric storage battery  113  and to control mechanism  115 . Control mechanism  115  controls electric flow from generators  103  to storage battery  113 . Control mechanism  115  manages electric current from battery  113  to electric generator/motors  111  and from electric motor/generator  111  to storage battery  113 . Electric motor/generator  111  motor is an axillary power source to power the automobile  109  and accelerates or decelerates the automobile  109  through wheels  117 . Electric motor/generator  111  generates electricity when said automobile is decelerating and this electricity is stored in battery  113 . Driver directed device  121  manages control mechanism  109  to accelerate or decelerate workpiece automobile  109 .
