I was thinking of ways to power cars. One popped in my mind. Spinners are a popular accessory to a car. Why not make all four mini wind turbines. You could have the energy collected from the spinning to run the lights, radio, navigation system and so on. Or you could put them on an 100% electric car to charge the battery there.You could design it so it looks like stock rims but put them on a spin. That is if you don't want the 'cool and hip' look=].

mbkicks,

I see that you're new here, but some advice: probably you should check the site before suggesting an idea. This idea--though faulty from an engineering point-of-view-- is generally suggested about once a month.

Thanks for trying.
