Abstract

A vehicle has an elongated shape with a single ball-shaped wheel 12 at one end and a spinning wind-driven body 11 at the other, driving a generator through an axle 18 to supply electricity to a battery pack and so drive the wheel 12. The spinning body 11 is held aloft by the buoyancy of a lightweight gas contained in a honeycomb structure inside it.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
SelfSufficientPenEngine This invention relates to an engine of self-sufficient fuel generating capabilities that is in use as power station to a vehicle.
Self sufficient fuel generating engines are we !) blown. The engines rely on natma ! sources of energy such as watcrfals, air currents or sunlight to power its generators.
Self sufficient engines are. how ever only in use in permanent fixtures due to the fixed location of the natural fuel source it.
According to the present invention there is provided a iilobile natural energy fuel generater identified as pen, a structure taking recognised shape as a regular writing pen hence the title, with spiralling propellers running the length of the Referring to the drawings as shown in structure it is pressured by speed & air figure 1 The Pen comprises of a single currents to behave aerodynamically wheeled(12)vchicle with wheel the entire pen structure spirals at arc (i6) surrounding to aid accurate very high speeds as a result. control of direction. sec figure i. obviously the pen can not stand to attention without aid so inside is pressurised gas a lot lighter than the weight of air.... 111 order to the passenger unit (J7) Generaters concealed at facing the correct direction the the ball point edge of the vehicle unit is counter balanced (18)this is transforms the natura ! energy supplied vital when in haste alternating via the spiralling pen and continually direction 180 degrees. figure 2. generates fuel to the battery pack, this never ending motion is effortlessly The generater (13) and the battery powering the engine with fuel. pack (14) is concealed along with the It would seem engine ( ! 5) under the passenger only y natural to put the vehicle on only unit(17)as close to ground wheel(12) one wheel to finish off the writing pen as possiblc to reduce unwanted shape that the rest of the machine g-forcc. see figure 3. adheres to and of ball shape to fit into the wheel arch securely.
