Methods and systems of an active aerodynamic wheel cap device are provided. The active aerodynamic wheel cap device can be mounted to a vehicle wheel and configured to actuate from a flap-open to a flap-closed state. The flap-open state provides an air vent path from an outer portion of a wheel to an internal component of the wheel, especially at low speeds or during braking. The flap-closed state provides a substantially gapless aerodynamic cap for the wheel of the vehicle at highway speeds or during acceleration. The actuation of the active aerodynamic wheel cap device may be based on an all-mechanical controlled centripetal force movement mechanism.

Disclosed is a wheel cover for a vehicle. The wheel cover is supported to be relatively rotatable with rotation of a wheel having a tire attached to an outer periphery of the wheel. The wheel cover has a shape indicating a moving direction of a vehicle or a figure indicating the moving direction of the vehicle outward in a vehicle width direction, and is configured to be turned by an actuator such that, when the moving direction of the vehicle is changed, the shape or the figure indicates the moving direction of the vehicle.

The present invention introduces a retrofit method of regenerative braking where no components of an automobile are to be replaced or removed and none of their functionality is modified. The recovering energy system is implemented as an additional, one piece, complete device, placed onto the existing automobile wheel's hub, and covered by the automobile's wheel. The system includes a housing, turbines, accumulators, and valves which act to both store and dispel energy as needed. This method of regenerative braking is therefore applicable to all the automobiles, independent or their power source, to newly built automobiles and those already on the road.

A light emitting device for an automobile wheel is capable of generating electrical energy through torque of an automobile wheel, illuminating an advertisement member using the generated electrical energy, and controlling the advertisement member to display advertisement contents at a correct posture without being tilted in response to a reverse magnetic field generated during the electricity generation process.

A wheel mounted display provides one or more presentations at one or more wheels of a vehicle. The presentations may provide advertising, informational, or other material, and are maintained in an upright position even while the vehicle is in motion. The wheel mounted display comprises a display showing one or more presentations may be rotatably attached to a wheel. A ballast is provided to aid in maintaining an upright position for the presentations. A mount allows attachment to a variety of wheels without requiring modification of the wheels.
