There is away that the car designers could incorporate some type of fan charging system just more low profile and airodiananic someway that it would create so much drag

I've asked this question since all these EVs came out. If a gas car has an alternator to charge the battery, why wouldn't EV manufacturers do the same thing? wheels obviously turn right? then why are EVs not self charging? makes absolutely no sense. someone please splain

I wonder if you could put some kind of alternator to the wheel so when you drive it spins charging the battery's as you go ?

How much energy is consumed to overcome the aerobic drag created by the fans and the weight of the fans?

how about a solar-powered road somehow wireless transfer to car......?

The stupid Teslas have a glass top. It should have all solar panels to charge it. Especially here in Arizona.

Why don't they have generators running off wheels from the factory?

This is perpetual motion, it violates the 1st law of thermodynamics energy conservation as machines can't create energy from nothing. It also violates the second law of thermodynamics which states energy is always lost as unusable heat causing any system to eventually slow down and stop. Any device claiming perpetual motion either requires a hidden energy source or is a hoax, as energy always dissipates in real world conditions like friction, air resistance, and heat loss, even in a vacuum.

That's not how it works. The drain on the car battery is equal to the energy generated by the fans.

They ought to all have something along these lines to charge while driving .Bit of course it makes to much sense to do that

After reading through this comment section, I now understand what people can and cannot grasp. I will not cover months of knowledge for all of you that need an explanation. You will wonder forever until you do the research yourselves. All you need to know right now is that it doesn't work that way. Solar panels and wind turbines are just water hoses compared to the mighty river of current you need to power an ev. EV's are just now a thing because of lithium's ability to rapidly discharge because it's a relatively stable ion.

better watch out if government see this and it helps the owner they will take it from them. dont believe me look up the guy that had a car running off of water . he disappeared.

If they were designed in the grill and I know they don’t have one, but if you made it the fan like a old push mower with a lateral blades spinning. Maybe

lol Man I wish I didn't have a gas car that you could just pull up to any gas station and pump some gas I wish I had a car that you're limited on how far you can go without a day's charge.... thank God Trump's getting rid of that shit!

The contraption on top of the roof of the car in this video would be awesome to have to charge electric cars. It would give the electric cars more range to be able to travel farther distances. But I'm not sure if this would be practical or able to work efficiently? But it looks like a good idea.

wow I'd like to see how they get into places like McDonald's Hardee's and stuff they only got like a 10 ft high clearance for cars and pickups to go under one how they work that oh I know they're going to expect everybody to get out of their way so they can back up

The Law of Diminishing Return says the extra drag created by the turbines would cost more energy than they would generate. Leastwise that's my understanding of it. I'd happily be proved wrong.

I’ve always said it makes no sense why you can’t drive and charge your car with the spinning wheels. At least two alternators on either the front or rear wheels would be enough to keep the battery charged. Endless driving

what they need to do is put the generator in the front of the car this way like a grill setup this way when it goes down the road it's turn a turbine charging the batteries

if a windmill can produce electric in a feild it would work on the top of the car to keep charge going
