Back in my physics class in high school, we had a homework problem that stated a car had a circular hood emblem (pretty much a Mercedes-Benz hood star) and that when the car was in motion it would produce electricity due to magnetic waves going through it while it was in motion.
I now own a Mercedes and would like to try and actually figure out how much electricity is produced when I drive at a certain velocity, I'm in no way expecting to find out it produces as much as a nuclear power plant lol but I'm just curious and think it would be pretty fun to figure out, the only problem is I don't remember the exact steps to go about figuring this out. Can anyone help? I know I need to measure the circumference, but how do I substitute for the three inner "spokes"? Also what steps would follow this?
