What if the car charged itself while driving?
Hello,
I don't know much about cars, but I know some things about physics and one of them is that we can harvest kinetic energy. In this case, the energy is generated by the rotation of each wheel (torque). When the car is moving, all wheels are rotating, and if connected to a power source, there is nothing that says they can't charge through rotations. If we connect the center of gravity of each wheel to a the car's generator, wouldn't that help provide additional electric energy to the car?
If anyone has any explanation on why this can/cannot work, I would appreciate it!

OP: look up First Law of Thermodynamics, Conservation of Energy, Perpetual Motion Machine.
power a turbine generator
tat should work
Also magnets
magnets should work

Ioniq 5 has solar roof and advanced 800V electrical system.
thats physics
so that is repels the magnet on the front of the car
probably wouldnt even need the motor anymore
Till today, I ride him free.
This is what free energy is all about.
Planning to file a patent on it.
Tesla already does this. It’s called regenerative braking.

This can and does work, it's called regenerative braking. It works well when we want the car to stop, not so good if we want to get somewhere.

It’s free If you’re not the carrot

They do not? Where do you think ice cream really comes from?

Except carrots cost money, try again....think magnets.
I grow carrots. You should too. Cost is negligible, and the admiring looks you get when riding the donkey, priceless.

Yeah but you gotta keep growing new carrots, my magnets will last forever. Ive also designed a solar turbine that can be attached to the roof that will power the car with a single charge.
