If i strapped a wind turbine 2 d top of a (very light) car would (after push) d energy gen b enough 2 run it?

Answer 1

Wouldn't be stable, would just tip over.

Answer 2

Unfortunatly if this worked you would have perpetual motion, so no.

However, putting $10,000 (less than some people pay for leather seats) solar pannels &/or wind turbine on your garage or workplace would make you self sufficient for average personal transport fuel - source Tesla motors
Also electric vehicles are much more enjoyable to drive smooth, quiet, smell free, few moving parts, more reliable ...

Tesla 0-60 4 seconds, 250 miles per charge built by Lotus UK; why no mention in the UK fossil headed motoring media?

Answer 3

No, but you could attach a sail and "sail" your car with wind power. Easy if it is windy and the wind is blowing in the direction you want to go. But a windmill on your car would produce more drag than power and actually reduce your mileage. Unless you were going with the wind, in which case it would just be a badly designed sail.

Answer 4

of course young man and it would save you an absolute fortune in petrol.
You can get a wind turbine in b and q that will generate enough power to run a large car.
It is designed for a house but will do for your car nicely

Answer 5

i agree with 'annoyed_w'

...but by all means give it a try, you would really need to be close to a cliff edge to get the full benefit from the sea breeze (no houses or other obstacles to slow or stop the wind)

Answer 6

Only if it were falling off a very tall cliff, and then only for a very short time.

Answer 7

Stick with mastery of language first, leave conceptual physics to others...

Answer 8

No, not quite. There would be frictional lossses.

Answer 9

No
