A system for generating electricity for powering an electric or hybrid motor vehicle uses a fan which is driven by the air flow created by the motion of the vehicle. Devices fabricated from Group III-V compound semiconductors offer higher speed and better isolation than comparable devices from silicon semiconductors. Preferably, the jaw assemblies include a pair of retainer blocks which are spaced from one another along the support bar assembly, and a jaw support plate positioned between the pair of retainer blocks and adapted for movement along the pair of retainer blocks towards and away from the support bar. The operating system and application are copied from the first private memory to the shared memory.
