Problems solved by technology

However, such interest has existed for a number of years, but have not yielded significant commercial systems to meet these concerns.
These prior art systems, though offering supplemental propulsion mechanisms for moving vehicles, they fail to offer the efficiency needed to effect an alternative and supplemental mechanism for new vehicles and for retrofitting to existing vehicles in the manner of the present invention.

The Second Embodiment as a Stand Alone Generator

[0059]As described and discussed in regard to FIGS. 1-3, and as noted above, the system hereof has dual applications, namely, provide auxiliary power to a moving vehicle, as discussed extensively previously, and to generate electricity for a stationary or free standing turbine assembly, the latter illustrated in FIG. 8. In either case, the system is an air turbine, non-fuel combusting system. In the stand alone embodiment of FIG. 8, there is illustrated a turbine system 160 comprising a generally circular housing 162 having an air intake end 164 with an annular channel 58 defining an air flow path, and an exhaust end 166, where the housing 162 mounts a compressor 168 rotating within the annular channel 165. Additionally, there are plural sets of turbine blades 170, 172, with interspersed guide vanes 173, where the respective sets are positioned for rotation by the passing air through the annular channel 165. To effect a working system ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a non-fuel combusting air turbine assembly suitable as a stand alone system for generating electricity. The systems include an air turbine engine powered by a compressor mechanism to increase the potential energy that can be harnessed by the turbines, having a noise reducing air intake section for delivering air to the compressor. Additionally, the systems include a turbine mechanism composed of plural sets of stationary vanes and rotating vanes, preferably arranged alternatively, and a battery rechargeable by a generator operable by the rotating turbine vanes. To initiate starting the turbine assembly, a secondary power source is included.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The application is a Divisional application of Ser. No. 11 / 305,864, filed Dec. 19, 2005, by the inventor hereof, under the title Non-Fuel Combusting Air Turbine System, where the full contents thereof are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention is directed to the field of air turbine engine systems of the type that may be used to power a vehicle, augment the power of a vehicle, and / or a stand alone generator to produce electricity, more particularly to an engine system having a series of turbines that have different capabilities, such as acceleration, compression, and extraction of the force of the wind to power a vehicle or generator.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present inventions, consisting of two basic embodiments, relate to a unique air turbine engine system that may be used for a moving vehicle, such as an automobile, truck, airplane and the like, the first embodiment and the subject of the parent application...
