An apparatus designed to obtain mechanical energy from the atmosphere or water.
1. Field of the Invention
The Atmospheric/Aqua Turbine is most closely related to the Wind-Charger, the Windmill and the Hydroelectric Water Turbine.
The Atmospheric/Aqua Turbine is an apparatus that can be incorporated into a vehicle for the purpose of extracting mechanical energy from the resistance of the atmosphere or water when the vehicle or boat it is installed on is in motion.
2. Description of Prior Art
The Wind-Charger, the Windmill and the Hydroelectric Water Turbine all three convert wind or water velocity into mechanical energy at fixed locations. They all depend on the wind blowing or water flowing in order to produce mechanical energy which is used to produce electricity or to pump water.
The Atmospheric/Aqua Turbine is designed to extract mechanical energy from the atmosphere or water by being incorporated into the configuration of a vehicle. The Atmospheric/Aqua Turbine has a scoop which scoops up atmospheric pressure or water and passes it through two fan chambers in order to extract mechanical energy from the atmosphere or water. The Atmospheric/Aqua Turbine will operate when the vehicle it is installed on is moving and depends on that movement instead of depending on the wind to blow or water to flow.
