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!

Will be interesting to see how this develops. The main issue I have with the perpetual motion idea is the ability (or lack of) to generate and store power quicker than it is consumed. Modern lithium batteries and superconductor technogies makes this far more accessable than in the past i.e you can carge a lithium battery to full in 1 hour and will discharge at a much slower rate. Bottom line is even if when the vehicle is in motion it can maintain and recharge the batteries, there will need to be a substantial reserve. I imagine given conditions and open highway roads, etc, this might be doable, but the headroom will quickly evaporate in any stop and go traffic or if clear flow of air to turbine is blocked... or.... I'm also guessing this will have to have plug capability in for the initial charge. OK< I actually just watched the video and read the comments, and I have to say I got quite a laugh..... The killer is this last comment.... The successful completion of this project will allow the gathering of data to be able to manufacturer retrofit units! These retrofit units will be primarily for 18 wheelers and other large over-the-road commercial vehicles. These vehicles currently attain a mileage rate of not better than 3 MPG. With the retrofit unit installed and operating the free energy processed by the Wind Engines will drive high torque electric motors attached to the trucks drive line. These units can quite possible increase a typical 18 wheeler MPG by 200% or better. All, I'm going to say is OK.................. lol. |
