Inventions for wind-powered vehicles.
Wind-powered electric trains.
The picture at top left is an illustration of a wind-powered electric train. This shows what the train would look like,during normal use. In this mode,the windmill is retracted.
The picture at bottom left is an illustration of the same train,showing what it would look like,when it is parked on a railroad siding for recharging. The windmill is extended when it is parked. When the train is parked for recharging,the train's windmill converts wind energy into electricity. The electricty produced by the windmill is stored in batteries,located under the floor of the train. This type of train does not require fuel,it does not pollute the air,and it does not contribute to global warming.
Windmill-powered electric farm tractors.The picture above shows a windmill-powered electric farm tractor. The tractor is shown with it's windmill extended for recharging. When the tractor is parked,the tractor's windmill is extended on a telescopic mast. The tractor remains parked like this with it's windmill extended,for several hours. While it is parked,the windmill turns wind energy into electrical energy. The electricity produced by the windmill is stored in batteries located inside the tractor.
The picture above shows the same tractor with it's windmill retracted and stored. After the windmill blades have been folded up,and the entire windmill has been stored,the tractor can be driven like an ordinary tractor. Since it would be powered by an electric motor,it would not pollute the air. This type of tractor will not require fuel,it would not pollute the air,and it will not contribute to global warming.
The illustration above shows a small truck,parked for recharging. The truck's windmill is shown extended. In the recharging mode shown above,wind energy is converted into electric power,and the electric power produced by the windmill is stored in batteries inside the truck.
The illustration above shows the same small truck,with it's windmill retracted. In this configuration,the truck is ready to be driven on the road,with electric power as it's sole means of propulsion.This type of truck does not require fuel,does not pollute the air,and does not contribute to global warming. 
The illustration above shows a windmill-powered electric bus,with it's windmill extended. This is what the bus would look like when it is parked. While it is parked,the windmill converts wind energy into electricity,and the electricity is stored in batteries inside the bus.
The illustration above shows the bus with it's windmill retracted,and stored. This is what the bus would look like after it's batteries have been recharged by wind power. In this configuration,the windmill had been stored and the bus is ready to drive.
The illustration above shows a group of wind-powered buses,at a recharging facility. This type of bus would not require fuel,they would not pollute the air,and they would not contribute to global warming.
