Generator + High capacity batteries + electric motor + all the gears, transformers, wiring and inverters needed = my vision.
Electric motor uses charge from old car batteries to turn generator.
Generator makes the electricty, duh, which is stored in batteries and flows through inverter to whatever you need power for.Power also is supplied to a small electric motor which in conjunction with neccasary gears or pulleys turns the generator. I am not an electrician or an engineer so I don't know enough about the subject to know how to pull this off. It's just an Idea I came up with while thinking of an inexpensive way to power my house and farm. Any one ever heard of something like this? Be nice.

Perpetual motion?
They sell these over by the fountain of youth.
Forget the batteries. Just connect an electric motor shaft to a generator.
Then connect the electrical output of the generator to the input of the electric motor.
Spin the shaft, and it will keep running forever.
Or, so it says in my copy of "Perpetual Motion -- What THEY Don't want you to know".
[Seriously, it does not work. Never has. Never will. Some problem having to do with "conservation of energy".]
It's pretty much impossible. But if you figure out how to do this, can I be your friend?
high leuico. your right: you obviously arn't an electrician or electrical engineer, but I'm not about to rip into you like some of the guys above. I'll explain why this idea doesn't' work: if you get rid of the battery and inverter and other loads etc. and just had the basics of your idea together==> a motor which powers a generator which powers the motor, due to the laws of thermodynamics, would not work. why? the motor is not completely efficient in converting electrical energy into mechanical energy and the generator is not completely efficient in converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, i.e. all that the system does is looses energy until it soon stops. make sense?
