Sigh...thats what I was afraid of. Any chance of significantly increasing range with solar? Just curious, not interested in persuing that scenario. Tesla is more interesting. What about a tesla coil attached to the drive train, That would be capturing free electron from the environment...
On a similar note. Turbo intakes produce drag on a car but the turbo is still able to produce higher fuel efficiency. Don't they produce more energy than the drag removes?? Oh and thank for the welcome. Very nice forum board.
I don't understand. The turbine doesn't absorb energy from the batteries. The outside wind goes through the vents to turn the Tesla turbine which turns an altenator which recharges the batteries. This is not an idea for a tesla turbine powered car. Its an idea to capture some of the energy...
Assuming you have an electric car that can go 100miles at 70mph on a single charge, what kind of range could you get with the following configuration? An electric car that runs off the main battery bank. Vents on the outside of the car funnel air to a Tesla turbine while the car is in motion...
If I put vents on the hood of my car and drove at 60mph what kind of psi could be achieved? I don't care about what kind of technique is used just curious about what kind psi could be created. I apologize if I'm not asking this correctly but I have no background in fluid dynamics.
