We want to solve the major disadvantage faced by an electric vehicle that is the discharge of the battery in case there is no power source. In case there is no power station nearby then electric vehicle can’t reach its desired destination. To solve this problem dynamo can be used. Dynamo is a device that converts mechanical energy into electric energy. Hence by using this property of a dynamo, this problem can be solved. The description of this technique is placing a dynamo behind the radiator and fan in front of the radiator. A hole is created at the centre of the radiator to connect the dynamo with the fan using a shaft. Due to locomotion of a car fan will rotate and current will be produced with the help of a dynamo. This technique has one more benefit that is efficiency of heat dissipation from the radiator will increase with the help of a fan. Due to the repetition of this process, electric vehicles can cover longer distances. KEY WORDS: Electric Vehicle, Wind Energy, Dynamo, Battery. I. INTRODUCTION The topic of discussion is how to solve the problem faced by the entire population that is lack of natural resources. This world is moving forward by using advanced technologies. There are many developing and under developing countries competing with each other to bring recent innovations in the advancement of under developing countries [1]. There is a sudden growth in the production of electric cars. Tesla Model 3’s (221,274) sales, 2 BAIC EU-Series (82,000) and 3 BYD Yuan/S2 EV (64,000), and 4 Nissan LEAF (59,000) are other models to cross 50,000 sales [2]. Due to the rapid increase in population, stress on natural resources has been increased to a larger extent. Hence there is a sudden increase in the greenho use effect which had made the united nation Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to take strict action on over utilization of natural resources. They planned to reduce at least 50 % of global carbon dioxide emissions by 2050[3]. Nowadays, some individuals are showing great interest to protect environment and raise awareness to conserve natural resources for future generations (i.e. doing sustainable development). Electric vehicle generates fewer pollutants; hence they can rely on renewable resources. Despite there are many developments in battery technology but still long recharging time is considered barriers before buying an electric vehicle. There are some largest emitting countries: India (7%), United States (14%), European Union (30%) and china (29%) as shown in Figure 1. Therefore steps should be taken to slow down the increase in global Co2 emissions [4]. Usage of an electric vehicle is the best way to overcome this major problem faced by society. Decarbonization can also play an important role to reduce Co2 emissions. But, advancements in technology are required to reach this outcome. This problem is being faced by both developing and under-developing countries/regions. To reduce the Co2 emissions from internal combustion engines the government has approved many plans [5,6]. Electric vehicles are acquiring attention because of the reduction of Co2 emissions. The electric vehicle does not emit pollutants in the form of fuel vapors. Thus, it can be considered a zero-emission vehicle [7]. Not only Co2 emissions should be considered while purchasing an electric vehicle. The operational cost of a vehicle is the main factor to be considered while purchasing an electric vehicle. The aim of this article is to illustrate the use of energy due to the locomotion of the vehicle with the help of a fan connected with dynamo. With the help of this article, we want to recover all the environmental concerns related to our ecosystem. 1642 Fig. 1. Representation of Data for Largest Co2 Emitting Countries A. Our Contributions To meet the requirements of recharging and to overcome the challenges, we develop this technique, a recharging platform to support electric and hybrid electric vehicle. This paper has been significantly extended from previous work [15], which discussed preliminary work and the technique aspect on distributed power management. The work for presents here represents latest results and development, and has a major new focus on the research and development aspects of recharging battery. II. ABOUT THE INNOVATION This invention is related to electrically powered vehicles and particularly to fan connected with dynamo for enhancement of storage of electrical generator capacity. The craze of purchasing an electric vehicle is increasing day by day. This invention will be helpful for providing additional power to an electric vehicle to cover a Long-range of distance or to recharge reserve battery in emergency cases like discharge of the battery in case there is no nearby Gas station. A fan is installed in front of the radiator. The radiator is generally placed in the front of the vehicle. Then in next step fan is connected to a dynamo placed in the rear of the radiator. Fan is connected to the dynamo with the help of shaft. When air strikes or fall on the fan. Then fan will rotate and dynamo will generate electricity for recharging the vehicle’s battery. There is one more benefit of using this technique that is when vehicle came in position of rest then the vehicle could be parked in the direction of the wind at night or at any time for recharging the battery. When a vehicle is parked in the direction of wind then fan starts rotating and electricity is produced with the help of dynamo/generator which is further fed into a rechargeable battery by passing through the current amplifier [8]. To explain this invention in more refined way Figure2 is drawn. Fig. 2. Front View of the invention Now we will try to describe the figure one by one. Here, Figure 2 depicts the front side of the invention. A fan is placed in front of the radiator which will rotate when the vehicle will move at higher speed. Dynamo is connected with a fan through shaft to produce electricity to recharge the rechargeable battery. This invention is also helpful for the reduction of heat which is generated by the electric motor during performing operations. A fan which is placed in front of the radiator is sufficient to replace the usage of a radiator fan which is used in the recent electric vehicles. Due to high and efficient heat flow from the radiator with the help of the fan efficiency will increase to a great extent. With the help of Figure 2 we have defined all the procedures until the production of electricity by the dynamo. Now we will use a current amplifier to increase the amplitude of electric current generated before storing in the rechargeable battery. After storing current in the rechargeable battery we can use the stored current for further operations of an electric vehicle. Due to the lesser production of pollutants and high efficiency, this can 1643 attract the interest of customers who are willing to purchase an electric vehicle. The operational cost of a vehicle is the main factor to be considered while purchasing an electric vehicle. The operation cost of the vehicle will decrease to a greater extent. Thus, it can be considered a zero-emission vehicle. To show procedure of this invention flow chart of the invention is drawn in the Figure 3. Fig. 3. Flow Chart III. ASSETS OF PURCHASING AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE In gasoline-powered vehicles, temperatures inside the combustion chamber of an engine can reach 4,000 Fahrenheit. Big amount of energy in gasoline combustion chamber changes to heat rather than rotary power used for locomotion of vehicle or to perform different operations. Not only it wastes heat but also results in low fuel efficiency, hence these high temperatures themselves create a major problem. In the case of an electrically powered vehicle, electric motors do not waste lots of heat to make required torque for locomotion of vehicles. There are some heat losses but they can be neglected. In fact, electric cars are three to four times more efficient than gasoline cars. In the case of electric vehicle 80% of energy from a rechargeable battery reaches the wheels of an electric car. Therefore, electric vehicles are more efficient than gasoline powered vehicles. Due to the high efficiency of electric cars countries like Japan, Europe, the United States, Canada, and many other countries have proposed high interest in research and development of electric vehicles. There are some governments providing fewer tax incentives for consumers to buy an electric car. While discussing electric cars we should not forget a fact about Tesla Roadster, which proves it’s capability of accelerating from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than 4 seconds. So, we can’t say electric vehicles are not powerful enough to perform daily operations. Electric vehicles can run over different renewable resources like solar energy and wind energy etc. There is one more advantage of electric cars over gasoline cars is that various power sources can be used for locomotion of an electric car.
