Hi, I'm currently in High school so I'm uncertain whether this could be feasibly possible. I read on another thread that Wind Turbine's produce too much drag to actually be beneficial to your car and energy. BUT, they all discussed the wind turbine being on the top of the car.
I was thinking, what if the turbines were placed on/inside the grill of the car. Obviously, they'd have to be open to the wind hitting them, but if they were placed on the front of the car instead of on top would this eliminate the drag problem?
Now, I'm sure it wouldn't be enough to actually power the car on its own, but would it be possible as a second energy source, as let's say, a backup, emergency source for electric cars?
And would it be worth it economically?
Just a thought.
