My latest project. Recently I designed a new generation wind turbine. I am going to miniaturize my design and work it into the front trunk area of a teener. My goal is to drive coast to coast non-stop........ Ambitious? Yes! Doable? Yes! I will accept any help thrown my way! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) By the way, it is great to be back here, I missed this place! |

Oh, you could definitely make it work.
Then put it in hurricane force winds for a week to charge a battery. Then you might be able to drive for a couple hundred yards.... TNSTAAFL - Heinlein is my favorite Quick sanity check: ~80hp = ~60 kw 60 kw wind turbine in 20 MPH winds: http://masteringgreen.com/wipo-60-kw.html So you need a windturbine bigger than a house and weighs thousands of pounds. |

Check this out - in our Falcon jets we have a system known as the 20kva system. It is a 20KVA genset that measures appx 10 inches long and 6 inches in width. It drives our radar system requirements using hydraulic fluid under pressure turning a motor......And that hydraulic motor is tiny, tiny, tiny compared to the genset/// Not just for you, but for all others here - you all still think that more power cannot be generated than used? Coast Guard has been doing it for decades. Also next time you walk into a room and flip a switch . was more power instantly generated by the power station the very moment you flipped that switch? Or was it waiting there all the time waiting for you to flip the switch.... I know, I know the "know-all" eggheads are about to pounce, so i will just say one thing....take a breath and think before spouting off. I have a very, very strong history of making people look very bad, even on this board...... Listen guys, there are better mouse traps out there. Just because a person like Elon musk hasn't thought them up yet does not mean they are not present...... |
