Well, i am not sure whether this concept is possible or not or whether it is prevailing or not...
Here is how a battery car runs...
BATTERY>>>>>>>>MOTOR>>>>>>>DRIVE>>>>>>CAR RUNs UNTIL LIFE PASSES OUT(battery)
If the battery is re-charged at the same time we can run the vehicle a life time without a single penny for fuel,
What I am trying to tell is why dont we engage a generator which are driven by the wheels of the car. and thus produce electricity and recharge
BATTERY>>>MOTOR>>>WHEEL>>>GENERATOR>>>ELECTRICITY>>>BATTERY
It is only my idea. I dont know whether many have thought or is it currently been using it.
Can u suggest something

You can't get something for nothing, which is what your plans are. If a perpetual motion device existed that would definitely solve all our problems, but it doesn't.
Ever spin a generator? Not an easy thing to do. Even the hand cranked ones they have to power a portable radio. Or those flash lights that don't need a battery, but require you to shake them. You must do some type of work to generate the electricity. That work must come from something. Converting one form of energy to another accomplishes nothing but a lost of energy in the process. Usually in the form of heat.
Look up the 6 cycle engine. Someone actually came up with a way to attempt to recapture the energy used in a 4 cycle engine.

It's a nice idea. The problem is that it takes more energy to turn the generator than what the generator produces. Therefore, the battery will run out of power even sooner than if it was just running the car.
