An energy-producing system comprising an axle configured to be driven by an electric vehicle's wheels when in motion. The axle supports a series of wind-catching cups contained within an aerodynamic housing configured to direct air to the cups while also increasing the air speed. During vehicle motion, the cups are acted upon by rushing air causing the rotation of the axle such that the rotation may be transferred into energy via a generator/alternator linked thereto. A series of similarly polarized magnets integrated on said cups and/or spacers and/or housing proximate thereto further maintain the axle in motion during short vehicle stops. The system extends the life of the batteries between charges as well the distance the vehicle can travel between charges. A power controller is configured to distribute power from said generator to an axle drive motor, vehicle drive motor and/or start-up battery pack.

An energy storage vehicle includes a solar cell, a power storage equipment, an engine, a transmission module, an electric motor, a pump, a hydraulic motor, a remote control module, and a generator. The transmission module includes an input terminal, a first output terminal, a first clutch, a second output terminal, and a second clutch. The input terminal of the transmission module is driven by the engine. The power storage equipment is configured to store the electrical energy generated by the solar cell and the generator. The power storage equipment is electrically connected to the first electric motor. The hydraulic motor drives multiple wheels of the energy storage vehicle under the control of the remote control module. The remote control module is configured to control the power output of the hydraulic motor and the orientation of the wheels of the energy storage vehicle.

An intelligent autonomous electrical vehicle platform assembly provides a mobile platform that comprises a self-motorized, electrical power drive to carry at least one platform container or passenger vehicle while being controlled remotely by an operator, or autonomously driven through artificial intelligence, or operated in a shared transportation system. The mobile platform has a platform chassis having wheels with a hub motor assembly contained therein. The hub motor is powered electrically from a battery charged by an external power source and/or a solar panel. The mobile platform carries a platform container that forms an enclosed area with various themes, including: a cargo transport area, a food and beverage area, a medical assistance area, or a home area having an inhabitant-assigned parking area and utility. The inhabitant of the mobile home receives creature comforts of a home environment, and controls movement, parking, energy, temperature, and payment options for the mobile home.

The present invention relates to a personal transportation vehicle that protects riders from weather conditions and contracting or spreading airborne diseases while traveling through crowded city environments. The vehicle is comprised of a pod-like enclosure having a plurality of panels and preferably three wheels, wherein each panel is further comprised of a viewing window. Several features of the personal transportation vehicle may also be controlled by voice command such as, but not limited to, GPS navigation, vehicle direction, vehicle engine, etc. The vehicle is also comprised of at least one interior display and a virtual and/or augmented reality system

A vehicle mounted energy generator and storage system includes: a screened air inlet facing a front of the vehicle through which air enters when the vehicle is moving forward; a pneumatic barrel impeller assembly including one or more integral impeller air vanes positioned such that air flowing through the air inlet applies positive pressure to the one or more impeller air vanes to turn the pneumatic barrel impeller assembly and drive one or more generator/transmission assemblies; one or more batteries receiving energy generated by the pneumatic barrel impeller assembly; and an evacuation blower applying negative pressure to the rear of the impeller air vanes by evacuating air through one or more screened outlets not facing the front of the vehicle.

A multimodal renewable energy generation system for generating electric power from more than one renewable energy source is disclosed herein. The system includes two or more spinner units configured on a vertical pillar. The spinner units are configured for rotation under influence of a stream of a corresponding fluid. A set of electric power generators is operatively coupled to each of the two or more spinner units to generate electric power when the corresponding spinner unit rotates. At least one of the two or more spinner units is configured close to a base portion of the pillar to harness power from sea waves and remaining of the two or more spinner units are configured with an upper portion of the pillar for harnessing power from wind. The spinner units are configured for rotation in a horizontal plane even at less powerful winds or water streams.
