Advanced Engineering Tech - self power generating electrical car?

can it be done? here is a mail that i sent to GM today, what do you think? :

Hello, i have a suggestion on producing a self power generating electrical car. i hope it will work. we need such cars due to pollution and problems associated with the pollution.

why don't you install a generator that generates electricity power in a electrical car (car with electrical motor) that this generator is spun by the electrical motor of the car and generates enough power to be stored in the car's battery while operating and using (motivating) the car this way the car will generate power by itself for itslef the electrical motor will make enough power to motivate the car and yet enough power to spin the generator to produce enough elecrical power to be stored in the car's battery to motivate the car.

when the power stored in the battery is full you cut supplying the battery with power from generator using relays or in some how,

when the battery needs power you connect the generator to bettery and supply power from the generator and so on and so fourth.

let me know what do you think.

thanks.

I think it would be better to spin the generator with some pedals operated by the drivers feet, like a 4 wheeled mo-ped. I too often dream of creating the worlds first perpetual motion machine.

I think there was a Simpson's episode where Lisa Simpson made one of those. We should ask her.

How could this be made? You are taking the potential energy of the battery, transfering some of it to a generator, which will then transfer some to kinetic engergy (movement of the automobile) and some will be transfered back to a battery. How are you going to sustain an energy source when some of it is used to create the motion of the car. Even if you had zero loss in the system, you are still transfering engergy from a battery into motion of an electric motor. This is basically a less efficient version of an electric car. Please read the law of conservation of energy. You can't create energy. Why dont we just make a car that operates off of fairy dust. I think that's more realistic.

I can't believe i'm taking the bait, as this has to be a joke

i'm not transfereing some of the electrical power from the battery to the generator, i'm transfering the power to the electrical motor and the electrical motor spins the generator (very high output generator that doesn't consume too much hp and produce enough power to motivate the car or to be stored in the battery).

If what you are trying to attempt were possible then you should be able to connect the motor to the generator via a belt, crank it up with a pull rope, and it would continue to run under it's own power indefinitely. Are you saying this is possible?

yes, this is my idea the electrical motor spins the high output generator via a belt but there is a battery from the begining to start the engine and to motivate the car. is that possible?

assume the generator produce electrical power same as the power source stations we see on TV that is now adays used to charge today's electrical car battery's with power,doesn't take like one and a half hour to charge the battery? maybe while the car is moving it will charge the battery within 5-6 hours.

No this is not possible. The generator is essentially a permanent magnet motor and it will take a motor larger than the generator to drive it to it's maximum potential. This is due to frictional loss of energy and you can't eliminate friction from the equation. So what you end up with is a motor that is larger than the generator is capable of powering on it's own. The battery will run the motor and generator for a while but all you are doing is adding more work to the motor by introducing the generator. Thus depleting the power source faster than if you had no generator at all. You may reduce friction and prolong the depletion but you will not eliminate it.

The only way you may achieve charging of the battery is if you used the generators as brakes and only drove downhill. If a person was interested in only making one way trips then you may have a market. But then someone will have to expend the energy to bring the car back up the hill.

This is basically a more elequent way of saying what i said.

You cannot create more energy than you expend performing the operation to create it. If you could use low power motors to create gobs of energy via a higly efficient generator, the entire worlds energy problems would be solved.

But unless the rules of our universe change, this isnt possible.

How much more food would we have to eat if we just walked or biked everywhere? Why not just work closer to home and stop driving except for fun? Put an end to the "daily driver" and drive as a hobby. remodel your way of life. if everyone did, it would also solve a lot of the world's energy problems because let me tell you, most of the energy consumed in this world is to shuttle our own lazy asses around.

ultimately we're gonna need lots of nuclear power plants (thorium or other fuel cycle for fissile, or fusion IF it ever happens), place induction loops in the travel lanes on every highway, and design electric cars (with power meters of course) and let the cars run on the electricity they gain from the induction loops while on-road. instead of paying for gas, the energy you used that month to drive would be included in your home electric bill. all the government's usage taxes will be tacked on also. but, can you say BORING CARS!

While this is true, there is no good way (yet) to take that energy without sustaining losses in the system, which throws out the perpetual portion.

Nothing will be able to perpetuate itself, unless you can eliminate all of the parasitic loss in the system, and since that is 99.99999999% impossible in the real world it wont happen

slowridn73
07-23-2010, 07:02 AM
although this is true that you could not take energy from the system, that proposes a system which is greater than that of perpetual motion, one that could not only sustain it self but generate power in excess, this implies it could produce or manufacture power, but power cannot be produced, only transferred. so in this context the idea that an atom within itself requires no energy for movement of its electrons and gives off no excess is directly in line with the requirements for perpetual motion, it is completely self sustaining. but you are correct in that any machine can never sustain energy without transferring or losing energy to an unwanted medium.

Im in no way a physicist but hear me out, isn't it made possible for the movement of protons, nuetrons, and electrons, thus chemical reactions because the environment we live in above Absolute Zero? In which case the movement is made possible due the the energy from sources like the sun? And since the sun will eventually deplete, i dont think you could consider it perpetual motion.

Another thing along the same line of thinking is someone once asked me what i thought would happen if you took a fully charged battery hooked a power inverter to it, and then had a battery charger plugged into the inverter with the leads from the charger going back to the battery to charge it. would it be self sustaining? NO! because we all know that things like battery chargers and power inverters produce heat, and the production of heat prove the loss of energy from the system

Im not an expert either, but absolute zero would require you to remove all energy from an atom so teoretically you have disrupted perpetual motion by a transfer of energy, but in reference to the no sun theory I dont believe space is absolute zero, because if you were correct in that an atom ceases to exist without the sun then a space suttle would sustain damage on the side oposite the sun as it will recieve no heat. my question to you is, if you place an atom in absolute zero does it cease to exist?

with a direct drive unit and a 1:1 rear end ratio a tire would have to travel a distance of approx. 4.4 feet to achieve 90 mph. Not familiar with older vehicles like an arrow but im assuming the stock axel does not have a 1:1 ratio. seems that a custom axel would have been a little extreme for this type of experiment, this testimony seems syspect to me, like someone did the math for a tires distance of travel, approx 4.4 maybe. then multiplied by 1800rpm, motor speed, but didnt account for drivetrain. just my take on this artical, that said tesla was a genius so...

Although, it is possible to greatly increase efficiency with properly designed devices, sending a letter to GM is not going to make it happen.

I have been doing a lot of research the last few days on alternative fuel / free fuel / high efficiency solutions, And... Oddly enough, They HAVE invented cars that run on straight water. No gasoline or other form of fuel whatsoever. But, sadly enough, the guy who did this, All of his work magically disappointed and he died of a O/D in a parking lot. Tesla invented free electricity, If you research on this, you will discover westinghouse, shut the door on him because.... There was no way to meter it. He also invented ways of transferring energy via something like a radio wave. He had a old electronic powered vehicle, with no on board energy source at all. It was powered via electric transferred via the air. I can't explain how it works, but, if you dig around on the internet, there is a lot of documentation.

Point being... The greatest obstacle to invention and technology, is, major cooperations. Lots of great inventions and technology over the years have just "disappeared."

Sorry for the wall of text..... haha.

On the physics side, looking at it from a therotical standpoint, Water is actually a much better fuel then gasoline.

Using the e=mc2 thing.... Energy = mass * (velocity of light) ^ 2... So...
A fuel with a heavier mass, therotically has more energy.

Pure Water is 1000kg/cu.m
Gasoline is 737.22kg/cu.m

So, by following the physics here, water contains more potential energy then gasoline. But, in todays technologly, This involves breaking h20 into HHO.
This requires enough energy to break apart the bonds...... Which, usually ends up consuming more energy then its worth to make it pratical. Although, There was somebody who did a hellova job at it and made a awesome water powerd car that broke down the bond inside of the combustion chamber somehow...........

parts eventually wear out, even though the clock would last forever if friction wasnt a factor. this falls under the 99.999 (reapeating till its painfull to keep typing 9's) percent efficent catagory. I also have something to add to my perpetual atom theory. the universe. all energy inside the universe is constant, even when there is a transfer of energy that energy never leaves the universe (as far as we know) so the universe is a self sustained mass that is always in motion. anythoughts on that one, thought of it while I was on the toilet transfering some energy.

to go with the thread the only way you can get any kind of power from driving is to covert any unused power back into the system and there is only one kind that is when you slow down the the power to do that is wasted if you look up some of the new E cars they have small gens on them that will help slow down the car and put power back in the car just like small lights on bikes that go on the rim. i do not know if GM is doing this but thats some things to help

now for all this energy talk yes there is many way not to use gas and there out there but the fact is its all about cost if you do not think that gas is way over priced and it can not go lower you are way off they are going to just keep it under all outher new age power ways so that they can not get a start up and this will happen till gas is truly more and can not do this under bid any more

I believe the general hypothesis is that the universe is expanding but will stop expanding at some point and start to collapse inward until it is once again "nothing." So, not even the universe falls under perpetual motion, I don't think.

slowridn73
08-05-2010, 05:59 PM
the theory is expansion and contraction, its called the oscillating big bang theory, all objects are drawn togeather until critical mass is reached at which point the "big bang" occurs scattering the universe again. under this theory mass/energy is never lost and I believe its still widely accepted that this holds true for most every theory. the idea that all things just come to an end seems more along the lines of a religious theory where things are created and will one day be destroyed.

If a generator has no electrical load it is very easy to spin. Start sucking electric power from it and it gets progessively harder and harder to turn. Look at a big diesel genset. Why do you think they use a whopping big diesel if they could use a lawn mower engine to drive it? Easy. for every 100kW of electricity you pull out you need to put about 105kW of mechanical energy in. Simple as that. Once the add-on generator of you electric car starts to feed the battery, it gets gets harder to turn and starts to slow the car down! The very same way that regenerative braking works on an electric car. The hard-to-turn generator (traction motor) slows the car down as it pumps up the batteries. All part of "the cussedness of nature".

After you purchase the solar panels, you will have already spent more money than you would save in gas.

If you study quantum physics, you will realize that the laws of physics, have many many holes in them.

Holes? No. Everything relevant to this thread has been well understood for about a hundred years. Where the lack of knowledge comes in is with understanding how atoms and sub-atomic particles interact (More than a trillion trillion times smaller than us), and how things such as galaxies and quasars interact (More than a trillion trillion times larger than us).

But, sadly , perpetual motion has not been invented yet. Go into outer space. Throw a rock. Done.

The problem isn't perpetual motion. The problem is finding places to convert energy into a usable form (electrical, mechanical, or two adjacent zones of differing heat)

But, water powered cars have! No.

On the physics side, looking at it from a therotical standpoint, Water is actually a much better fuel then gasoline.

Using the e=mc2 thing.... Energy = mass * (velocity of light) ^ 2... So...
A fuel with a heavier mass, therotically has more energy.

Pure Water is 1000kg/cu.m
Gasoline is 737.22kg/cu.m

Complete failure to understand how chemical reactions work.

The reasoning you just used is akin to saying that if we have two balls, one big and one small, and we're about to see how much energy we can get from rolling it down the hill, that the big ball would have more energy even if it was at the bottom of the hill already. It won't. The big ball would have more energy if it was at the top of the hill. IE if it was hydrogen gas + oxygen gas instead of water.

All energy derived from chemical reactions (burning fuel, etc) comes from breaking or making bonds and releasing or consuming energy. Hydrogen and Oxygen are at a higher energy state than water, because when burned, they release energy. The hydrogen and oxygen release energy and move into a lower energy state: water. To break the bonds of water, you have to give it energy. ... the same exact amount of energy that is released when burning hydrogen. Imagine that!

its not possible trust me in order to do this you have to have no energy lost as heat which is also im possible becuase of the resistance in the motor and also in the generator. the heat loss makes it impossible because energy is not created nor lost only converted into heat which eventually all of ur energy in your car would convert to heat and ud have a deadass car. dont u think something as simple as that has already been tried if that was the case we woulda had electric selp propulsion cars decades ago but the fact is, This cannot be done with todays technology. you would have to have some sort of way to convert all the heat back to useable energy or have an external source of energy such as the sun or wind energy entering the system to help compensate for the loss due to heat. i really hope for your sake u didnt send that to gm

Barometric pressure?

Pressure only works through differentials. You can't just magically make pressure do something. You have to work against it to build potential energy of any sort.

I like how you specifically mention brass and bronze, like the materials used would matter.

Without getting into complex explanations of the laws of thermodynamics and energy conservation, let's put this into layman's terms: Let's say that you have a motor that generates the 1 kilowatt of power to drive the vehicle and then also drives a 1 kilowatt alternator/generator; in order to drive said apparatus you must use something physical, such as a belt or shaft. It takes energy to make this shaft turn or belt to move, this sucks energy away from the machine (parasitic loss). And while one day 99.99999% efficiency MAY be possible(highly unlikely, but possible), unless you can cut parasitic loss out of the equation 100% efficiency can never be achieved. You would need a drivetrain that has a mass of exactly 0.

Wow really?

Completely wrong. Parasitic drag is caused by friction and rolling resistance, both of which are properties of the forces imparted upon them. They in no way rely upon drivetrains having mass.

And while one day 99.99999% efficiency MAY be possible(highly unlikely, but possible), unless you can cut parasitic loss out of the equation 100% efficiency can never be achieved. .
Okay. What's your point? It doesn't fucking matter either way. Even if a 1kW motor and generator could spin each other forever, it would be completely useless.

That will only happen if the fuel for cold fusion can be produced from petroleum oil and the major oil companies will still make billions of dollars of profits still. Else, they will just buy out the patents and destroy them.

I can't believe how many people believe this conspiracy nonsense that petroleum companies hold all sorts of patents for advanced alternative energy technologies and suppress it all.

All patents by definition are fucking public information! Secret patents don't exist!

http://www.google.com/patents

As soon as someone is granted a patent it becomes public, therefore impossible to keep secret. To keep a patent secret defeats the whole purpose of the patent system!

Why would anyone even withhold such an advanced technology that you could make billions off of anyways!

If you study quantum physics, you will realize that the laws of physics, have many many holes in them.

Please, do share with us!


But, sadly , perpetual motion has not been invented yet. But, water powered cars have!

Yeah, where?


On the physics side, looking at it from a therotical standpoint, Water is actually a much better fuel then gasoline.

Using the e=mc2 thing.... Energy = mass * (velocity of light) ^ 2... So...
A fuel with a heavier mass, therotically has more energy.

Pure Water is 1000kg/cu.m
Gasoline is 737.22kg/cu.m

So, by following the physics here, water contains more potential energy then gasoline. But, in todays technologly, This involves breaking h20 into HHO.
This requires enough energy to break apart the bonds...... Which, usually ends up consuming more energy then its worth to make it pratical. Although, There was somebody who did a hellova job at it and made a awesome water powerd car that broke down the bond inside of the combustion chamber somehow...........

There are scientific laws that prove that perpetual motion is impossible. ALL forms of energy need some form of fuel, and you will never get an equal or excess amount of energy from any source. Maybe one day we will come close, but we can not achieve it. And the "believers" that blindly pursue this are why Fleischmann and Pons made so much bank over a fake theory.

Incorporate this as the charging system, use relays and software to switch between however many spare batteries needed, and you're all set!

Charging solely off an axle belt running a generator will indeed allow you to run further than you could off of just batteries, but friction and battery life will eventually leave you stranded with low batteries. However, don't can the axle generator idea completely... Using it and the Tesla Generator in combo will certainly compensate for the friction component.

I think you will find this article of interest:

http://keelynet.com/energy/teslcar.htm

Check out the original article and commentary at the bottom of the page.

This is dealing with the theory of reciprocating current. RC current is thought to be a side effect of, and transfered by, magnetic fields. Therefore it can be directed to a certain area and transmitted much like radio waves, as was stated earlier. Whether this entire story is true, and whether or not this form of electricity can be harnessed is another story. There are a couple of people out there who claim to have built a Tesla like "RC generator". Is it true? Well I've never seen one work. If it is truly usable, and Tesla did really figure it out, then he was more genious than anyone thought.

The theory is that since all objects affect magnetic fields through the bending of the gravitational plane, RC current is generated as a side affect of the distortion. It is claimed by some, that this RC current can be drawn out of thin air and converted to AC or DC current. Never seen one of these devices work however. If it would work though, you could power a car with it.

There are other ways to obtain energy. I tried developing this the past year while in college. There is a lot of technology out there such as the energy obtained from hitting the brakes, solar panels, etc. My idea, which I ran into a flaw is to use a magnet that spins within another magnet (or something to contain an electric field). I was able to create an electric field, but I couldn't find a way to obtain the energy. Downfall to this is weight, and it only produces so much power, not enough to transfer into kinetic energy. But, if you have multiple magnets spinning it might create a good deal of power when combined with solar panels, and the use of kinetic friction. I have given up on the experimenting, but I feel someone with more knowledge and materials could find a break through in this. The new Chevy Volt is pretty revolutionary since it uses a generator to reproduce electrical energy much like the idea of the electrical engine recharging the primary motor. hopefully someone can come with a good idea and make billions off of these concepts lol
