OK... I'm going to update the original article to reflect these ideas... as I have time to do so: http://www.thesaturnwire.com/technology-from-saturn-and-neptune/every-car-is-an-electric-car

Oh... by the way, I still think there is some merit to using the energy generated by cars going down a mountain to power cars going up the mountain. But you are probably correct in asserting that this energy should be transferred from one vehicle to another in the form of electricity, through...

Yes, the more I think about it, the more I think you must certainly be right. But there is one exception, and that is the idea of a drive that is the "mirror image" of the drive that vehicles already use. This would have a tire protruding through a slot in the highway. The tire engages a pad on...

I don't think these ideas can be dismissed merely as "cable car". For one thing, there are so many incarnations. Consider this one for example. An electric car driving in the city encounters a mechanical drive that stretches for 1/4 mile. It is in the right hand lane, and the speed in this lane...

Yes, I saw Jack Action's post. However, it doesn't address the "pitching machine" idea in post #6 above. Also, I guess I didn't make clear that the proposed system would have many short segments of "cable" (belt, chain, or whatever). In this case, there would be no (or few) sheaves and...

Couldn't get this thread to work, so I started a new one instead. Is there a way to delete this thread? I don't want to clutter the forum.

Anti-Gravity Drive for Cars and Trucks Been trying to discuss this on TheSaturnWire.com, but my site keeps getting hacked. Without the ability to post pictures, I'll just describe it in writing. Cars and trucks are dragged up a mountain slope with a mechanical drive, something like a roller...

Well I guess somebody has hacked my site, as I am now unable to access even my own pictures. I don't know how much sense you can make of the article without the pictures.

Hi berkeman, and thanks for your response. It's a long article that discusses lots of different issues. I tried to paste a picture of the drive itself so that I could ask a question about the mechanics, without wasting people's time on the other discussions in the article (benefits of...

Hi everybody! I've been toying around with ideas for using electricity to propel any type of vehicle - gasoline, diesel, hybrid, or electric. The problem is I am not a Mechanical Engineer. So I'm wondering if anybody can tell me whether a drive system like this may be designed to be practical...
