wind electricity
Using the wind energy from speed to save electricity?
Okay I was thinking of ways to help with the energy crises and was wondering:
if generators need to spin to make electricity
and when things go fast there’s wind,
why not hook a generator to the car (on top many in a box, with two openings on the front and back)and use the wind to spin the generator causing electricity to be made.
So what’s wrong with that idea?
The power to spin the generator is coming from the engine of the car. Power from the generator means more wind drag on the car means more power required from the engine. This is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy. You can’t get something for nothing.
