Wind Car

Story Behind the Invention

Inventor Michael A. Davis started from a problem every electric vehicle owner already knows. Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles have closed the gap with conventional cars on power, comfort, and cost of ownership but not on refueling. Hours on a charger against minutes at a pump is the difference that still dictates how far an EV goes and how its driver plans a trip.\n\nHis answer was to look at the air the vehicle is already pushing through. The Wind Car routes a series of tubes from the front of the vehicle to the rear, each carrying a wind turbine linked to an alternator, so that motion down the road turns into current at the charging circuit. Batteries handle starting, grades, and low speed; the turbine array is intended to contribute once the vehicle is up to cruising speed.\n\nThe Wind Car is patent pending, a prototype has been built, and a full product specification has been prepared. Michael A. Davis is now seeking manufacturing, retail, wholesale, distribution, and licensing partners to carry the design forward. Contact us to request the technical package and open a conversation.
