Thanks for the constructive criticism, i will read up.

I am working on using an alternator or generator to charge the system when I am going DOWN HILLS using mass of the car to charge my system,
My controllor is not the regen type.
This is not Perpetual Motion but using the mass of the car going down hills or stopping to run the alternator or generator.

nothing wrong with their instrumentation, few watts + or - it's nothing, their device just not powerful enough

here's russian development on free energy (well, energy from vacuum, ether, parallel universe and santa claus) - as mach as you want

efficiency or overunity % - as mach as you want : )))

about 1kwh per second - wind meter (sorry, measurement readings) as fast as you want - either way

p.s. don't let such silly device as meter stop you! just don't get caught - or try to explain to cops "free energy" paradigm
pps. but you can put it in your car- if you want : ))))

I have a question about this topic. I'm still new in understanding this subject and I try to learn from my mistakes.

I've been asking to myself, if I reverse the motor driving the wheels while I'm moving forward with much higher rpm than the reverse rpm will it act as an efficient generator? (or vice versa; motor:FORWARD; Transmission:REVERSE) And if I'm wrong and the rpm will still be the same (reverse/forward ratio) can the driver shift to another gear while in reverse and having an optimum output/input ratio?

I don't have any specific type of motor or system in mind, so it can by anything or nothing and I might be hugely mistaken.

The fact that this thread is fifty pages long tells me that people are getting out of high school without learning physics.

Maybe we should start teaching physics in middle school or grade school.

Come to think of it, I believe I was taught the principle of Conservation of Energy in grade school.

I remember covering similar scenarios with friends at a very young age. One friend built a beautiful model boat with a fan blade angled up at the front with a driveshaft connected to a propeller in the water.

I took one look and said "That's not going to work. Conservation of Energy."

He said "I know. But I think it will work in a headwind where the water is moving slower than the wind" [completely ignoring the fact that the big fan blade up front had to be pushed into the wind as well]

My point is that when smart people don't "get" Conservation of Energy, society as a whole loses. Think of all the wasted effort on projects, and the susceptibility of people to shysters that separate them from their money.

My flight instructor was contemplating buying an emergency generator for her plane - you deploy it out in the airstream and you have power for your radios if you suffer from an alternator failure. She said " I was thinking that we could just use it on long trips to save gas, since the alternator on the engine wouldn't have to work"

We need to increase physics education in public schools, that is very clear.

Physics, like much of disciplined science is not popular. Thus, its conclusions are not sought because the do not align with peoples wishes.

This thread is seriously a sticky? The mods here have a sense of humor at least =)

Energy is all around us...electrons are constantly moving, electrons have mass, e=mc^2; but, putting sticks together and making fire is a bit different then quantum energy harvesting or whatever the future will be.

When you hear silly ideas like self-powered flashlights, glow-in-the-dark sunglasses or Perpetual Motion machines, you can't help but laugh at people who are considering these things; however, the only way we innovate is to pursue wacky ideas and think differently about problems.

The hooking a car alternator to a an electric motor makes people want to smack their hand on their face because their embarrassed you live in the same country as them.

It's a sticky because common sense is a rare feature in today's models.

quantum energy harvesting

I harvest quantum energy every day.

LOL, I should of thrown Flux Capacitor in there.
