Abstract

The paper has been proposed with the principle aim of drastically reducing the fuel consumption of automobiles by using naturally powered sources. The paper suggests the use of a generation system which uses the force of the wind to produce necessary electric power to drive the vehicle. The system uses fuel just to produce the initial motion. Hence the consumption of fuel to drive the vehicle is very negligible and completely uses the electric energy generated by wind (drag) force. Drag is the opposing force acting on a vehicle in motion. The system proposes to use this opposing force to empower a vehicle in its motion.
