Patent ID: 8288879

Claim:
A driving surface generator system comprising: a primary tube with input and output ends positioned upon a driving surface; a secondary tube having input and output ends operatively coupled with the primary tube; an air collection tank operatively coupled with the input end of the secondary tube and the output end of the primary tube, an initial cross tube coupling the output end of the primary tube and the input end of the secondary tube, a supplemental cross tube coupling the input end of the primary tube and the output end of the secondary tube thereby forming a closed loop path of travel within and through the primary and the secondary tubes and the air collection tank; a mechanical device located laterally spaced from the driving surface in operative proximity to the air collection tank, power tube coupling the mechanical device and the air collection tank, means for transferring mechanical power produced by the mechanical device into electrical power, the mechanical device being a mechanical conversion device chosen from the class of mechanical conversion devices including turbo-generators and turbo-alternators; and a plurality of axially aligned one-way valves located at spaced locations in the primary tube, each one-way valve including an annular ring having a central opening and a peripheral edge, a first adhesive attaching the periphery to the interior surface of the primary tube, each one-way valve also including an imperforate circular flapper, a second adhesive attaching the flapper to the annular ring at an upper extent of the annular ring and the flapper, each flapper being in facing contact with an associated ring closer to the output end of the primary tube than to the input end whereby a reverse flow of air is abated.
