Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the feasibility and potential of kinetic energy generators in improving car efficiency. Participants explore the idea of integrating such generators into vehicle wheels, alongside other renewable energy sources like solar panels, windmills, and rainwater energy collection. The conversation touches on theoretical and practical aspects of energy generation in vehicles.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes the idea of placing kinetic energy generators in the center of the wheel to harness energy from vehicle movement, suggesting the addition of solar panels to initiate the process.
  • Another participant corrects the first by stating that the RPM is not faster near the center of the wheel, emphasizing that the velocity is greater at the outer diameter.
  • A later reply challenges the initial proposal, questioning the validity of the concept and suggesting that the term "kinetic energy generator" may not be used correctly, implying it could be confused with an electric motor.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express disagreement regarding the feasibility of the proposed kinetic energy generators, with some asserting that the concept lacks scientific basis while others attempt to explore its potential. The discussion remains unresolved with competing views on the practicality of the idea.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the understanding of the mechanics involved in energy generation from vehicle movement, as well as potential misunderstandings regarding terminology related to energy systems.

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.
