Patent ID: 7464777

Claim:
A power system for an electrically powered land vehicle, comprising: a gas ionization and energy production section including a plurality of abutting tubular members defining an airflow path having an input end and an output end, each of the tubular members having: a ridged plate section having a plurality of heating plates for exciting air to an elevated energy level, the heating plates being disposed in spaced-apart relationship to allow the flow of air through the section; a variable positive voltage grid for collecting charged particles; at least one sensor for detecting the charge of said charged particles; and a casing being made of electrical insulating material configured to withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and high vibration forces; means for drawing air into the input end of the airflow path in order to establish an airflow through the gas ionization and energy production section; means for distributing the charged particles to the land vehicle's battery and propulsion system; and means for regulating a potential of the variable positive voltage grid.
