For instance, take the motor vehicle as an example. We use gas to derive energy to turn the wheels. The wheels expend some of their energy as heat produced by friction with the road. Is there some way to recapture the heat produced by the tire and reconvert it to energy that can be used again by the vehicle to propel itself. How about the heat form the motor? The EMI emissions from the electronics?
Don't stop at just a motor vehicle. How can we recapture energy created by the various methods it takes to produce various consumables and reuse that energy perpetually instead of releasing it into the environment?
The true ideal would be to have items that can be initially powered by a starting power source and then have them recapture maximum expended energy and feed it back into the system being used ( or fed into other systems for reuse).
Can you think of ways to do this? What would they be?

How about cooking stoves, laundry dryers, personal computers? Could it be done with those items?

Sometimes people have great ideas and just would like someone to make them happen. Hopefully we have enough of those people to really make things happen.
