A wind powered vehicle having a high pressure, heavily insulated air tank mounted to the vehicle that is charged with compressed air from a high pressure accumulator storage tank. The air stored in the accumulator tank is air that is highly compressed by an air compressor that is driven by a stationary wind turbine, the air compressor being mounted in the hub of the wind turbine to facilitate efficiency and to allow the wind turbine to rotate so as to catch the wind, regardless of the direction of the wind. Couplings and insulation are provided to allow the vehicle mounted air tank to be releasably coupled to the accumulator tank and to conserve the heat energy of the highly compressed air.
