3. Vehicle as claimed in claim 1,<BR> whereimthe size of said inlets are adjusted automatically according to the speed of the car, velocity of the wind etc. by sensors, by signals from speedometer, from wind measure ment dewices etc. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <P>4.Vehicle as clained in claim 1,<BR> wherein the fam blade size may be adjusted accerding to wind welocity (fig.
4. ) o avoid too much wind pressure on the fam whem driving at a very high speed.
5. vehicle as claimed in the preceeding claims, wherein fans may also be mounted on the vehicle's roof.
6. vehicleas claimed in claim 1, wherein is mounted a room for taking a shower, for washing face, hands, for using a toilet bowl, for shaving etc., said room preferably consisting of three rectangular frames which may easily be put on top of each other when being mounted in a vehicle, said frames may also be eeasily stered in the baggage compartment of most cars by having the smaller frames stored inside the larger frames.
7. VeE s clgeiLDqet å) wherein is mounted on the roof of said veicle an air conditioner hawing the outlet of the purified air supply much closer to the driver and passengers breathing organs thEumm is normally seem on most cars, said air onditioner having its inlet much higher up than on most cars to users better air quality and for the same reason are filters easily replaceable (fig. ) and by the means mentioned giving the users a better health effect. th Vehicle as claimed in olaim 3, wherein in addition to engine for driving on roads, there is preferably our jet eengines which may move the vehicle in all directions requiring no airport runrrs to lands on, said jet engines being of the new low noice type. Vehicle as clai : ned in claim 8, wherein the main, largest wings may be turned on and axle on the roof outwards when using the vehicle as an airplane <BR> <BR> <BR> and the wings to be turned back in on the vehicle roof<BR> when using the vehicle as a car on roads.
8. 10 Vehicle as claimed in claim 9, wherein the small elevator wings may be folded in on the roof when using the vehicle for driving on roads, said elevator wings to be folded outwards when using vehicle as an airplane.
9. 11 Vehicle as claimed in clsim 8, wherein said vehicle have the socalled icemudstud claw wheels by which system tird studs are movable on the tires by remote control signals fromt he driver. Vehicle as claimed in clain 3, wherien in addition to engine for driving on roads, the vehicle as a two helicopter rotor blades being shoter and wider than on most helicopters and therby suitable for storage position on car roof when driving on roads as well as being able to life off and move vehicle like a helicopter. 13 Vehicle ass claimed'in cla. iEi 3, wherein in addition to engine for driwing on roads, the vehicle has 2x2 counterrotating main rotor blades, shorter and wider than normal, thus reducing the need feor a large tail rotor and thereby also more easy to handle vehicle on roads.
10. 14. Vehicle as claimed in claim 1, elain 12, claim 13, wherein veicle has collision air bags adapted for external use when needded, said air bags for example released manually by driver/ pilot or automatically by sensors.

To be stuck in a pulluted straffic jam has becone a serious problem for millions of commuters. all over the world.

Besides being delayed, they are sometimes literally trapped in gas chamber-like traffic conditions when in polluted tunnels , or in weather conditions creating an invisible lid oer polluted polluted highways. A family stuck in such a traffic jam for a <BR> <BR> long period of time needs cleasn air and easy access to a toilet.<BR> bowl/rest room.

To counteract exposure to air pollution and to neet the need for quisk and comfortable transportation there are several means available available, Iver Hansands European patent no. at patent no offers good and confortable protection against air pollution for those who accept this chest apparatus. Many traellers prefer to have these things as a part of their car. However, most of the cars presently avalable on the marljet does not satisfactorily meet the need of car passengers passengers and drivers in the alovementioned situations.

Most cars have air supply outlets on th dashboard. However, filters to clearn the air, if any, are usually not easily<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> accessible or replaceable. Besides, the air supplied from the<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> car's dashboard is usually too polluted because it is often<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> taken from dusty, contaminated areas around the car.<BR> <P>Another way to attack the problem of pollutioin is to have more cars driven by electriceity, so-called el-cars. and thereby have less pollution. However, the range or driving distance for el-cars is too short Beramsaythe batteries for such cars need to be recharged. <BR> <BR> <BR> <P>As long as the problems mentioned above are not sovved, there<BR> will still be too many tired and stressed drivers and passengers.<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <P>A lot of time is also was@ed in search of a toilet/rest room,<BR> driving around and causing added pollution.

Obviously, there is a need to solve these roblems, for instance by making some changes r arrangements regarding means of transportation to make them more comfortables.

According to the present inventions, there are providlest facilities and arrangements for vehicl es cowrs i, ng ; : Fig. 1 shows front view of battery charging fans (1) prolomging kdriving distance for el-cars and giving extra energy to facilities like car refrigerators, flans, radios etc.

Fig. 2 shows a solution similar to fig.1, but for narrower cars or cars needing less electic power.

<, 4) Fig. 3 shows how the fam blade size may be adjusted to wind velocity (like sail size to wind at sea).

Fig. 3 shows am arrangement similar to fig.2.

Fig. 5 shows an "AIRCAR" for possible use on both frgoads and in the air. Low noice jet engines (5) should in the future, im combination with vehicles for reads be a possible alternative for military means o@ taansport, also for ambulances, police, fire brigades etc.

Fig.6 shows a similar solution, but being a combination between a car and a helicopter.

Fig. 7 shows a similasr combination as in fig.6, but having 2x2 counterrotating main motor blades. The need for a long tail is no longer there with this arrangement and thus more suitable also for car use.

Fig.8 shows a van version of such a combination as mentionod above.

Fig.9) and 10 shows a combination between a showewr room and a toiet/rest room may easily be mounted in a regular car and also easily be stored in a car's baggage room.

Fig.11 and 12 shows a toilet bowl requiring good ventilation and tight lids.

F.13 shows an air conditioner supplying cleaner air than presently available i@ most csars, because : 1. Air is taen from a cleaner area higher up tha. m in most cars.

2. The purified airstream comes closer to user's bresathing organs.

3. Easily repelaceable filters available.
