Patent attributes
A power installation is proposed for conversion of airflow energy into compressed air energy used by a pneumo-motor or/and by an electro-generator associated with a control system. An embodiment of the installation comprises a number of turbine units arranged in box-sections serving as the walls and roof of a truck. The turbine unit includes X-shaped members supporting a shaft with a turbine driven by a resistance airflow appearing during movements of the truck. The rotation of the turbines is conveyed to a pump, charging a tank with compressed air, used for driving the truck. In embodiments the turbines' blades may comprise a load and may revolve in mutually opposite directions. The installation may include an additional compressor, or may include a first muff connecting the pneumatic motor to a power train, an additional fueled engine, and a second muff connecting the fueled engine to the power train.
