Patent ID: 8169182

Claim:
A charging system for a motor vehicle, comprising: an air tunnel assembly affixed to a roof of said motor vehicle by an attachment means; a plurality of fan assemblies in fluid communication with said air tunnel assembly, each mounted within said air tunnel assembly; an electrical generation means in mechanical communication with each of said plurality of fan assemblies; an electrical power storage means in electrical communication with said electrical generation means; and, a control means for controlling said charging system; wherein said air tunnel assembly provides internal compression and velocity control thereto said flow of air wherein a flow of air travels through said air tunnel assembly; wherein said air tunnel assembly comprises a generally rectangular open-ended box, further comprising: a front tunnel opening formed in a front tunnel panel, wherein said flow of air enters; an interior, wherein said plurality of fan assemblies are affixed therein; a rear tunnel opening formed in a rear tunnel panel, wherein said flow of air is exhausted; an upper removable panel portion, thereby providing access to said interior; a lower enclosure hingedly attachable to said upper removable panel portion at a forward edge and a fastening means at a rear edge; a front motorized louver mounted to said front tunnel panel and a rear motorized louver mounted to said rear tunnel panel, each louver comprising: a rigid flat rectangular panel affixed to a louver shaft extending along a long axis of said louver at an intermediate location along a rear surface of; and, a pair of electric motors in electrical communication with said control means coupled to opposing end portions of said louver shaft and anchored to opposing inside surfaces of said lower enclosure; and, a screen panel mounted in said enclosure between said plurality of fan assemblies and said front motorized louver and said rear motorized louver, each screen panel further comprising a rigid coarse air filter means; wherein said each louver provides a means to variably regulate said flow of air, whereby said pair of electric motors receives a command from said control means to tilt said louver to a desired angle, thereby restricting a part or all of said air volume from passing through said air tunnel assembly; wherein each screen panel provides an air filtration means or said air tunnel assembly; wherein said flow of air drives said plurality of fan assemblies; wherein said plurality of fan assemblies drives said electrical generation means; wherein said electrical generation means produces said electrical power; and, wherein said control means selectively directs said electrical power to said motor vehicle for provides a driving means or to said electrical power storage means.
