1,254,804. Reducing air resistance by ionization. ELECTRIC FUEL PROPULSION Inc. 13 Feb., 1969 [16 Feb., 1968], No. 7098/69. Heading F2R. A vehicle which moves relative to the air, for example an electric car 18, includes magnetic means mounted adjacent and exterior to the vehicle so as to move relative to both the vehicle and the air surrounding the vehicle for reducing the air resistance by ionizing a portion of the air surrounding the vehicle. The ionization is carried out by a number of electromagnets for example 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 energized by the batteries 40, 42, 44, 46 powering the vehicle or a separate source and mounted on a solid disc 20 which is rotated on a shaft 80 by a gearing system 83, 88, 89, 91 connected to a ground contacting wheel 86. Alternatively the disc may be directly rotated by the engine. The electromagnets may be supplemented or replaced by permanent magnets. |
