A voice command acquisition method and system for motor vehicles is improved in that noise source information is obtained directly from the vehicle system bus. Upon receiving an input signal with a voice command, the system bus is queried for one or more possible sources of a noise component in the input signal. In addition to vehicle-internal information (e. g. , window status, fan blower speed, vehicle speed), the system may acquire external information (e. g. , weather status) in order to better classify the noise component in the input signal. If the noise source is found to be a window, for example, the driver may be prompted to close the window. In addition, if the fan blower is at a high speed level, it may be slowed down automatically.

A windmill generator system featuring a base with a generator, a shaft extending upwardly from the base, and a rotor housing rotatably attached atop the shaft. The shaft is operatively connected to the generator via a clutch system. The rotor housing is adapted to spin in a first direction and a second direction about the shaft, wherein rotation of the rotor housing generates energy for the generator. At least two flanges extend outwardly from the rotor housing. A wing is disposed on each flange. The wings extend outwardly a distance away from the rotor housing to harness wind. Each wing comprises a series of adjustable louvers.
