The electric regeneration unit includes a venturi generator unit having an inlet with an inlet axis and an outlet with an outlet axis oriented transversely to the inlet axis. A housing, containing the venturi generator unit, is adapted for mounting the inlet to a forward facing surface of the trailer and the outlet to a side facing surface of the trailer.

A vehicle is provided that comprises two or more radio frequency (RF) antennas and two or more RF transceivers to communicate wirelessly sensitive information associated with a user of the vehicle (the two or more RF antennas being at different physical locations on an exterior of the vehicle). The vehicle determines which one of the two or more RF antennas is receiving a strongest signal from a common signal source, selects a first RF transceiver associated with the RF antenna with the strongest signal to send the sensitive information associated with the user to the common signal source, and sends the sensitive information associated with the user to the first RF transceiver for transmission to the common signal source.

Controlling availability of features of a vehicle can be based on a set of initial parameters, with each parameter related to a feature of the vehicle and defining availability of the feature. The set of initial parameters can define at least one feature of the vehicle as unavailable but further define the unavailability of the at least one feature of the vehicle as overridable upon detection of an emergency condition by the control system of the vehicle. The control system of the vehicle can apply the set of initial parameters to operations of the vehicle to control. At another time, a set of updated parameters with at least one parameter having a different value than the initial set of parameters can be applied by the control system of the vehicle to control operations of the vehicle based on levels indicated by the set of updated parameters.

The present invention relates to an electric vehicle equipped with a wind power generator comprising fans having spiral suction blades. The wind power generator includes a spiral suction fan with blades having the same height and an electric fan-type spiral suction fan provided inside a funnel-shaped cylindrical protective cover to which the Venturi principle is applied, the funnel-shaped cylindrical protective cover being capable of increasing wind suctioned from outside and converting the wind into a wind speed. The electric fan-type spiral suction fan and the spiral suction fan with blades having the same height are connected to a power generator so as to generate electricity. The generated electricity is stored in a storage battery first and is then used to drive the vehicle in connection with to an electric motor, and the remaining electricity is supplied to an electric power company so as to supplement electricity at home or an industrial complex.

The present invention relates to flying scooter comprising a base made of fibreglass, 20 fans with 20 motors connected to a power system with components comprising capacitors, batteries, photovoltaic solar cells, an oxygen generator, a regulator, electronic sensors, and electronic chips. The scooter has a circular front part that includes a display that gives operational levels of the components, and the base has a cavity for the passenger's legs, and a rubber strap for securing the passenger. Manual controls are provided as well as a grip for the controls. The controls are connected to the sensors and electronic chips wirelessly.

An electric or Hybrid vehicle is provided, the electric or Hybrid vehicle including: a battery configured to provide motive power to the vehicle; one or more electrical systems controlling one or more operations of the vehicle; a turbine configured to be exposed to airflow while the vehicle is in motion; a generator coupled to the turbine and configured to generate electricity in response to rotation of the turbine; and a control system configured to selectively control flow of electricity from the generator to the battery for charging the battery and to the one or more electrical systems for powering the one or more electrical systems.

A hybrid propulsion system with controllers and a drive shaft of a helicopter with a main rotor connected to a gearbox which can keep a flight attitude set by a pilot stable. It includes a pilot controller, a combustion engine and an electric motor, both of which act directly on the drive shaft. The VM is connected to a VM controller, and the EM is connected to an EM controller. One torque sensor and one tachometer are each arranged on the drive shaft, wherein during operation both the VM controller and the EM controller are able to receive values for the current speed and the current torque. Specified values for speed and torque, in which the VM can attain its optimum efficiency, are stored in memory and can be retrieved by the EM controller, wherein the first value can also be retrieved by the VM controller.
