sun up, wheels turn | |||||||||||||||||
When the sun hits the pv modules, the energy starts storing energy to be used when the sun goes down, which is stored in batteries. Why not invent a energy collector in vehicles thru the tires rotation, there are millions of cars out there each day, especially the gas autos. If your not able to purchase those new hybrid or some type of electric vehicle, then there should be gas stations that will accept energy for gas. Each time you fill your gas, the pump drains the power made by the rotation of your tires for each trip. Energy is made by a rotation of something. This way there would be an exchange for something good for this planet.

So you mean that you electrify your car with PV, store the energy in batteries, then go to the gas station and use the car's energy to turn a tread-mill of sorts that will give electric power to the gas station? This is to run the pump to put gasoline into other people's cars?Otherwise, I'm not so sure I understand your idea here.
Let me see if I understand what you're trying to say. The PV cells are an example of energy collection and storage, but not actually part of your idea. The real idea is to use a device to collect energy from the rotation of tires on gas cars and store it in the car. Then, exchange the energy at gas stations for gas. The problem with this idea is that the energy rotating the tires is already being used to move the car. If you draw any additional energy from the tires, you will have to burn more gas to generate the extra energy. You will get no more energy out of the system than is put in by the gas, in fact you'll get less.
I still think the amount you use will be covered by the energy you collect in your vehicle, especially if you had all four tires having an easy spinning charger thing in the inside of wheel. I imagine one could be made that would not cause enough friction to burn more gas. Maybe the weight of the storage chamber or battery that the energy would be stored in would be a little heavy, but when you think about it, we have driven a truck with a lot of weight and it does not burn too much more than when it's empty. If you do a long trip would be the best time for collection of energy. I still think it would work, I guess someone would have to some studies and try, huh? What if it worked, would it not be great to save the planet by reducing the energy waste. Theres got to be a way this would work. I used to have a bike with a light that lit up from the rotation of the tires and it worked well and I didnt burn any gas at all, lol.
I'm terribly sorry, but your concepts of energy generation and deployment is as wacky as hell.
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed,says the Law of conservation of energy.But someone asked if energy is conserved by the law of nature,why is there this energy crisis.
a hybrid? with solar power? instead of electricity w/gas.. solar+electricity?
Do you mean storing the energy taken out of the wheels during braking? This energy currently goes to heat and (too often in my neighborhood) noise. Kind of like the regenerative braking already used in hybrids and EVs I guess. This recovered energy would have to be offset by the added weight of the extra batteries and electric motor/generator attached to each wheel. An interesting concept
