Cars can generate air flow when driving on highway. This design takes advantages of the highway railing collect air, and pushes the fan blade to rotate so that it can turns wind into energy. This can provide us a kind of ecological method to generate electricity. According to experiments, cars with speed of 80 km/h on the highway can produce at least 3 m/s unilateral wind energy. The wind energy will be increased for times when the cars are driving on both sides, and it can provide equal electric energy which is the basic requirement of small wind turbine.
