Electric vehicle with power controller for distributing and enhancing energy from a generator
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.
Blower Style Magnetic Induction Cogeneration Assembly for Generating Heat And/Or Electricity and Incorporating Traditional Heating Elements Along With Heat Sink Ribs for Redirecting Fluid Flow
A fluid conditioning assembly having a body constructed of an insulating material. An inner housing is configured within the body defining a spiral passageway in communication with an inlet for redirecting a fluid flow through an outlet. A shaft extends within the body and rotatably supports a conductive and fluid redirecting plate or like component positioned within the inner housing. At least one magnet or electromagnet is positioned within the inner housing in proximity to the rotating component, causing thermal conditioning of the fluid flow resulting from creation of high frequency oscillating magnetic fields at a given frequency range, the thermally conditioned fluid flow being redirected through the outlet.

Conventional elements can also be incorporated into the assembly for operating simultaneously or being deactivated/turned off after an initial startup period.
WIND TURBINE ELECTRIC GENERATION, HEAT TRANSFER AND HEAT STORAGE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A floating heat pump system including a superstructure supporting a wind turbine and at least one electric generator mechanically connected to the wind turbine. Wind-induced rotation of the wind turbine causes the electric generator to generate electricity.

The heat may be stored in transportable thermal storage medium. Heat stored in the thermal storage media may be used at the system or remotely for regional or district heating and cooling, industrial purposes, or to generate electricity.
