So what rocket
science or complexity you see here ? Its a simple designe and can be
acheived. I don't see any additional drag on the vehicale. May be it added
another 10-20 lbs as turbine weight but on the other hand we can reduce the
number of batteries carryin on board cauz of additional power generation
capacity in the vehicale. A simple example is turbo charged engine, Its
turbine again that produces extra horse power in engine ?
It is a really good thing, that you aren't a Rocket Scientist, (what
ever that is, by definition) because your grasp of Basic Engineering is
lower than a Japanees GradeSchool Kid. You haven't even come close to
discribing the DRAG that the Turbine would cause, by the speed of the
vehical to which it is attached, pushing the turbine thru the air.
Some of that energy would be converted into the power you suggest my be
available for battery charging. However, a consideable amount of that
power produced by the DRAG of the turbine, would be lost in friction
with the air, friction in the mechanical elements that connect the
turbine to the generator, or alternator, as the case may be, power lost
to heat in the generator/alternator, power lost in the inefficencies of
battery charging, and the inherant inefficencies of the Turbine to air
interface itself. All of the above stated LOSSES, combined would
certainly make the recoverd battery charging efficeny lower than 20%, at
best. Hmmmmm, looks like 100% input in DRAG Power equals 20% input to
battery power and a LOSS of 80% of the power to outside enviorment.
Not really very good at all.......
What do you think? Are you looking good or what? KnuckleDragger......
