No I´m not. First this is not my project, but from Altran. Second it´s not a perpetual motion machine, it is a car.Greg Locock wrote:Basically you are proposing a perpetual motion machine
Maybe you think regenerative brakes are a proposal for a perpetual motion machine too

As explained three times with this one, the questions raises because of the high power used on a car and usually wasted unefficiently, wich maybe could be recovered partially as regenerative brakes do. Considering the high power demands of a car to accelerate and brake constantly on a city, and the low drag of a small turbine, my question wich remains unaswered even when I´m between prominent figures, is if a car power demand to accelerate is determined mainly due to its weight (drag is not relevant), what could make this idea doable. For constant speed things are different, but this is a city car
I don´t think the question is so stupid to only deserve mocking replies....

And I´m construction engineer, btw, maybe you guys are so obsesed with the perpetual motion machine you can´t think a bit furtherflynfrog wrote:Maybe try graduating high school physics before continuing the discussion then?
