Now, just what was it - oh yea, the time that guy posted that he found the love of his life on the internet.

The energy has to come from somewhere. If you deny that - you REALLY should spend some time in school.
No need to wait 5 years.

Time in the hospital, and a couple of surgeries. I am on the road to recovery now, thank goodness. I reached a point where I had literally forgot what it felt like to feel normal. I was really looking forward to seeing everyone again, and also meeting others that were not there last year. I will just look forward to the spring trip.
See you in the spring!

The answer has been around since the 20's
Bumper Cars; Majestic Manufacturing Viper Bumper Cars- the leader in Amusement Park Rides since 1973 with such rides as the Wiggle Wurm, Quadzilla, Catch'N Air, Central Park ect.

but mark my words gasoline or any fuel will phase out very soon!

But, then again, the proof is on youtube. When will you ever learn.
Is free energy sorta' like free Obama money?

Re: Is a self charging electric car possible?
There has been a lot of research into recovery of kinetic and thermal energy. The only stuff I can remember showing any real promise is turbochargers (of course) and regenerative braking. But with regenerative braking you need a place to store the energy you've recaptured. That means either an electric battery or some other form of kinetic or thermal storage. The kinetic option has almost always been a heavy flywheel sort of device spinning at high speed. Electric vehicles have a ready place to store energy converted to electricity and that's pretty stable. Kinetics like the flywheel are very short term storage options as they lose energy pretty quickly from friction.
The problem as others have already pointed out, is that the conversion process is far from perfect. There will always be frictional and thermal losses as well as aerodynamic drag which is another form of friction not to mention mechanically / chemically imperfect conversion of energy from one form to another. Some of this research has shown that recovery and storage can be significant but it's far from 100%. I've seen figures of ~65% efficiency for a flywheel storage system and ~35% for electrical batteries.
Formula one has implemented a flywheel type system in the transmission of its cars called Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS). The system only adds 55 lbs to the weight of the car but its storage potential is limited. That's OK in a race application where the car is constantly alternating between acceleration and deceleration. Not so useful for steady state cruising on an interstate.
I've also heard about a hydraulic storage system for kinetic energy but I can't remember much about it and it doesn't seem to get much press coverage.

As an EE I have to say I gotta leave this thread, I am afraid of guilt by association. Moore (6 posts on hyper bs ) talks like he knows something, the car he points out it a technical fraud and any uneducated enough to actually believe in it is stupid.
Need to find a more informed peer group. Free energy - as they say " THERE IS YOUR SIGN"

That soap box car that was disqualified was because the front of the car had a magnet that attracted the trap door that holds the cars on the hill. When the doors went down that car got a little pull to nudge it forward at the start and it beat the others.
Me, Id hire the kid and put him on my design staff in a NASCAR team, thats thinking out of the box and that is to be respected. That would make us a leader nation again, if we had more like him. The rules did not specifically cover that. Woody
