this is the dumbest thing i have ever seen out of all the dumb things this is the dumbest
the pinwheels will provide more losses in air resistance than u can gain with charging

maybe u should drive your hybrid car with the brakes on all the time because then the regenerative braking will recharge the battery!

and the video showing the model car moving by the fan blowing the fan is providing the energy it shows nothing except that it is almost as stupid as the other one

Here is the deal ...

Unfortuneately Pese is right ... The more drag the more power you need to move it...

But there is a design which I have thought of a couple of years ago ... With wind...

Anytime you are slowing down it does not matter how much drag you use because your objective is to come to a stop.

Now the tesla roadster uses this in the wheels or axel when breaking they generate energy...

A similar design could be done with wind!

How you ask the answer is simple in all the doors and the front bumper you could have tubes with fans in them that open as soon as the breaks are depressed and close as soon as you step on the gas again. This would generate free power for your car  ...

The maximal efficiantcy that one can get while slowing to a stop  is the maximal additional energy that you can recieve other then the heat losses that you could conserve using the electric motor.

Solar Paint and solar sun roofing or windows would be another way to make your car more efficiant as well.

But yes the amount of drag placed on this design is equal to the amount of energy gained if not less energy.

SOLAR

Car makers are in the news today, especially
General Motors.

The company appears to be on the verge of running
out of money. It's likely to go bankrupt without
government intervention.

Apparently, two million jobs are tied in one
way or another to GM. Not only that, but countless
billions of dollars in bonds too

One of the ideas is to give GM money for "innovation."

The truth is there's been a lot of innovation in
car making in the last ten years.

The only problem is none of it has shown up on
the production floor. Why the disconnect?

Here's what one man working with high school
students accomplished:

i had this website a while ago that detailed a solar/wind van made by a guy in the UK

http://www.speedace.info/solar_van.htm

UK road tax is free!!!  Yes, electric vehicles have to have an excise licence, but it's issued for free.

At the very bottom you also have the list of all the worldwide solar team wich make a nice list of comparative pieces to adapt a normal car to the road , a mix of solar . wind tunneling and braking regeneration is totally possible and probably wouldnt cost that much .

I think the dumbest thing one can do, is make a statement as though it is fact, even though it is merely an opinion. Especially a negative one. YOU my friend are DUMB beyond compare.
