Ya maybe.

All interesting points, yes I've considered it would take new power plants to put out that much electricity. I was thinking nuclear plants would be best to supply extra needed. Not a popular choice right now considering Japan. That is a huge amount of electricity at rush our for an area like...

Why not create a modernized electrified highway. Then a large battery would not be needed for long distance travel. Consider a way to integrate a Maglev like electric supply system with an Interstate Highway. Rails won't work on the highway, but if you could make it a flat strip it might be...

Thank you for you deatiled explanations and teachings on this science.

I appreciate both of your replies. I'm still not understanding why there isn't an energy surplus with hydraulics. If I can lift the front end of a 5000lb car with 30lbs of pressure, this still leaves 2,500 lbs of car lifted into the air. Seems like quite a savings of power, force, energy...

I see what your both saying above. No free ride! Seemingly such a simple idea would being used if it were possible. What about these hydraulic wenches that are on the market these days. Some very strong, 30,000lb wenches, also even 50 ton hydraulic hoists. What is the energy conserved by...

I was hoping one of you could look at this idea and tell me if it will produce a positive net-energy supply, with the help of hydraulics? Please ponder it a moment and feel free to capitalize off of it if it does. Let me pause for a moment to explain what you already know. I can lift a 5000...
