AI Thread Summary
Kinetic energy generators attached to car wheels are proposed as a means to enhance vehicle efficiency, with suggestions for incorporating solar panels to initiate the energy generation process. The idea includes utilizing various green energy methods, such as wind and rain, to further augment power generation. However, there are misconceptions about the mechanics of wheel rotation, particularly regarding the speed at the wheel's center versus its outer diameter. Critics argue that the concept lacks scientific validity and equate it to nonsensical ideas about free energy. The discussion highlights the need for a clear understanding of energy generation principles in automotive design.

Maybe Kinetic energy generators attached on the wheels are something ? If we put a thin small tube in the VERY center of the wheel (where the rotation is fastest) filled with some generators.
I'll try to draw a drawing sometime to be clearer with the generators positions and amounts.
We can't create kinetic energy without something movin'. So i thought a little solar panel on the top of the car for ONLY creating enough power to start the kinetic energy process would be something.


And maybe we could even add all the green methods of creating energy into the car... like windmills or water when it rains etc. Toghether they are strong.. :P.

I don't really have an idea on making energy though, but if this is the solution, it's worth sharing it with someone who might know how to.

The RPM is not faster near the center of a wheel, that is impossible. However, the velocity on the outside diameter of the wheel is much faster than on the inside diameter of any wheel.

Ruben, we just got done explaining in that other thread why you cannot get free energy out of a vehicle's movement. Please re-read that thread, and do not post this kind of nonsense again.

I know the thread is already locked, but Reuben, your post is mostly gibberish anyway. I don't know if we have a language barrier, but unless a "kinetic energy generator" is just a funny way of saying "electric motor", it's just word salad. Other sentences have similar issues.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
