Wind Shark

This is a car that utilizes the power of wind to propel itself forward. I modeled this car after jet engines with a two turbine design, and three wheels instead of four. This is just a concept design, and is by no means perfect. A lot of people are working on the solar aspect of renewable energy for vehicles, but not many have even thought about using wind power to fuel the next generation of vehicles. This is why i decided to create this design, as a concept idea to see if it was even possible.

The tail has a movable fin connected to a stepping motor that will detect wind direction to always keep the vehicle pointed in the optimal direction for generating both power and forward momentum. To steer the vehicle the wheels use two separate motors attached to i micro computer (raspberry pi) to provide more or less power to the right and left front wheels allowing the car to be steered. No messy external wiring in this design, all of the parts have built in channeling so the wiring is never exposed.
