CLEARWATER, FL, UNITED STATES, September 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Scott M., a resident of Clearwater, FL, has developed IMAGEN, an air turbine system intended to supply supplementary electrical power and charge batteries or capacitors in electric and hybrid vehicles. The system is designed to work in conjunction with a vehicle's existing charging and power infrastructure, harnessing airflow and other forces that occur during driving to spin turbine components and generate additional electricity.
The core of the IMAGEN system consists of a circular turbine housing that includes magnetic elements and an impeller fan. When air flows through the turbine, it rotates the impeller, causing interactions between the rotating parts and magnetic stators that produce electrical current. This generated electricity can then be used to provide extra charging to the vehicle's battery or capacitor system, even while the vehicle is under load.
Multiple turbine units can be incorporated at various points across the vehicle. Possible installation sites include areas of the vehicle body where aerodynamic airflow naturally occurs, as well as systems linked to direct airflow from the throttle or air intake. The design capitalizes on forces already present during normal driving, eliminating the need for an external power source to drive the turbine.
IMAGEN is aimed at electric and hybrid vehicles where battery capacity and driving range are key concerns. By producing supplemental electricity, the system offers a way to support the vehicle's onboard power and charging systems while in motion, potentially reducing how often the vehicle must depend solely on external charging stations during long trips. This could also allow for smaller batteries in EVs and hybrids, possibly lowering production costs. In addition, the system may function as an active aerodynamic device. For instance, some cars deploy a rear wing when braking; similar mechanisms could help generate energy and slow the vehicle via drag.
The system's aerodynamic design may also be used to control airflow around other parts of the vehicle. In certain configurations, air moving through or around the turbine assemblies could be redirected toward selected areas, such as the exhaust system of a hybrid vehicle. This airflow management could offer additional cooling for exhaust components while integrating the turbine into the vehicle's overall aerodynamic layout.
Key features and benefits include:
• Integrated air turbine system: Engineered to work alongside existing charging and power systems in electric and hybrid vehicles.
• Magnetic electrical generation: Converts turbine rotation into electricity using rotating impeller components and magnetic stators.
• Supplemental battery or capacitor charging: Provides a method for routing generated electricity to the vehicle's battery or capacitor system.
• Under-load operation: Capable of supplying extra charging while the vehicle is operating under load.
• Modular architecture: Multiple turbine assemblies allow the system to be tailored to different vehicle designs.
• Active Aero: Turbine units can be integrated into active aerodynamic setups to manage airflow, create drag when needed, and potentially assist in cooling vehicle components.
The name IMAGEN, short for “impeller magnetic generator,” reflects the core operating principle: an air-driven impeller paired with magnetic electricity generation.
