An energy efficient land vehicle includes a.) a conventional land power mechanism, with a storage battery and power consuming mechanisms directly or indirectly connected to the storage battery, for controlled delivery of electric power to the power consuming mechanisms; b.) a supplemental electric power generation system located on the conventional land vehicle, the supplemental power plant including: i.) a housing; ii.) at least one set of rotatable blades mounted within the housing; iii.) a movable shaft connected to the set of rotatable blades; iv.) a generator for generating electricity connected to the shaft; v.) a voltage regulator; and, vi.) a connection to the storage battery for providing electric power. The housing has at least an open front for air ingress and an open area downstream from the blades for air egress, and the open front has at least one gate. The gate opens only when the vehicle is decelerating or stationary and is otherwise closed during vehicle movement.

What is claimed is: 1. An energy efficient land vehicle, including a conventional land vehicle having land power means, and having at least one storage battery and at least one power consuming mechanism directly or indirectly connected to said at least one storage battery, for controlled delivery of electric power to said at least one power consuming mechanism, the improvement comprising: a supplemental electric power generation system located on said conventional land vehicle, said supplemental power plant including: i.) a housing; ii.) at least one set of rotatable blades mounted within said housing; iii.) a movable shaft connected to said at least one set of rotatable blades; iv.) a generator for generating electricity connected to said shaft; v.) a voltage regulator; and, vi.) a connection to said at least one storage battery for providing electric power thereto; wherein said housing has at least an open front for air ingress and an open area downstream from said blades for air egress, and said open front has at least one gate, said at least one gate having an open position allowing air to drive said at least one set of rotatable blades, and having a closed position preventing air to drive said at least one set of blades, and gate control means adapted to maintain said at least one gate in the open position when said vehicle is at rest and when said vehicle is moving during deceleration, and adapted to maintain said at least one gate closed when said vehicle is moving at a fixed speed and when said vehicle is moving during acceleration; such that when said vehicle is decelerating and said at least one gate is open, said rotatable blades are moved by wind speed created by movement of said land vehicle, said shaft rapidly rotated causing said generator to impart electricity through said voltage regulator, to said at least one storage battery, whereby said power consuming mechanism is indirectly powered by said generator so that electrical load on said storage battery is reduced. 2. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 1 wherein said land power means is a combustion engine. 3. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 1 wherein said land power means is an electric vehicle engine with storage batteries. 4. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 1 wherein said land power means is a hybrid electric and combustion engine power means. 5. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 1 wherein said at least one gate is at least one set of louvers. 6. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 1 wherein said gate control means is arranged to respond to one criteria selected from the group consisting of gas pedal change, accelerometer change, tachometer change, brake pedal change, and ECU change. 7. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 1 wherein said housing is attached to at least one part of said land vehicle selected from the group consisting of the roof, the side, the fender, the hood, and combinations thereof. 8. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 1 wherein said blades and shaft constitute a wind turbine selected from the group consisting of a vertical axis-vertical blade wind turbine, a horizontal axis wind turbine, a Savonius wind turbine, a Darrieus wind turbine, and a vertical axis-horizontal blade wind turbine. 9. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 1 wherein said rotatable blades and shaft constitute a wind turbine that is stationary in its orientation and facing forward. 10. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 1 wherein said housing includes open sides and said blades and shaft include a directional vane to position said blades to face natural wind when said land vehicle is stationary. 11. An energy efficient land vehicle, including a conventional land vehicle having land power means, and having at least one storage battery and at least one power consuming mechanism directly or indirectly connected to said at least one storage battery, for controlled delivery of electric power to said at least one power consuming mechanism, the improvement comprising: a supplemental electric power generation system located on said conventional land vehicle, said supplemental power plant including: i.) a housing seamlessly integrated with said land vehicle; ii.) at least one set of rotatable blades mounted within said housing; iii.) a movable shaft connected to said at least one set of rotatable blades; iv.) a generator for generating electricity connected to said shaft; v.) a voltage regulator; and, vi.) a connection to said at least one storage battery for providing electric power thereto; wherein said housing has at least an open front for air ingress and an open area downstream from said blades for air egress, and said open front has at least one gate, said at least one gate having an open position allowing air to drive said at least one set of rotatable blades, and having a closed position preventing air to drive said at least one set of blades, and gate control means adapted to maintain said at least one gate in the open position when said vehicle is at rest and when said vehicle is moving during deceleration, and adapted to maintain said at least one gate closed when said vehicle is moving at a fixed speed and when said vehicle is moving during acceleration; such that when said vehicle is decelerating and said at least one gate is open, said rotatable blades are moved by wind speed created by movement of said land vehicle, said shaft rapidly rotated causing said generator to impart electricity through said voltage regulator, to said at least one storage battery, whereby said power consuming mechanism is indirectly powered by said generator so that electrical load on said storage battery is reduced. 12. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 11 wherein said land power means is a combustion engine. 13. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 11 wherein said land power means is an electric vehicle engine with storage batteries. 14. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 11 wherein said land power means is a hybrid electric and combustion engine power means. 15. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 11 wherein said at least one gate is at least one set of louvers. 16. The energy efficient land vehicle of claim 11 wherein said gate control means is arranged to respond to one criteria selected from the group consisting of gas pedal change, accelerometer change, tachometer change, brake pedal change, and ECU change. 17.
