Hi smoky, I have watched this video before and I have a lot of questions but I have yet to find a web site that supports it. I am thinking that the car can not actually run for ever with out being recharged. I would think that the generators would aid the amount of miles that it could achieve but I cant see them producing enough to make it self efficient.

 One thing I have noticed is that I have yet to see a electric car that uses pulses of power instead of direct power as they all do. Pulsing the power would help keep the motors cool as well as the back EMF or collapsing fields could be utilized by being fed back to the battery's. I would think this would add to the mileage that could be achieved. Another thing would be adding ventilation ducts that would capture the wind and in return power generators that could also be utilized to charge the battery's. The same with all four wheels, shocks and steering components. Actually any thing that moves could be utilized such as even the seats. Then add solar thermal panels.

 I would love to build one of these cars and some day I may get lucky enough to. I have a 24 foot bus I have been saving to build a electric powered vehicle out of. It is a 94 GMC with a 6.5 diesel and a automatic trans. It is all rebuilt with new paint. I think it would make a excellent candidate.
 I have a problem finding battery's. I want the best and I heard that a company in Europe has them but they are not available to the public yet. I was told that the makers of the Tesla car is involved with them. They are said to be aluminum. Have you heard of them?

i think an altinator will provide 14.3 volts
if he has a 36 volt drive motor
i think he really only needs 3 altenators charging and 3 running and switch when battery is low
but he has a belt on the rim to spin another charger and plenty of others
i wish i had that car,

well the problem i see in the video is no sound of the motor or car itsself
they play music over it
any suggestions
if someone try to build please post!!

well I'm glad the words being spread
this car is amazing to me
i watch it almost daily and wish i had money to build it

if i were to attempt something like this, i would have to use a custom body-kit, that (as mentioned above) captures the air and runs it through tubes into turbines instead of the "wind-mills" shown here. This will maximize generation, as well as lower the wind-resistance.

also, there are commercially available electric-generation-braking-systems.
used in the Pruis, the Civic, and a couple other hybrid vehicles. i would have to use those too...

solenoid shock-absorbers, while in theory might add to efficiency, i think they would be more of a cosmetic addition, i probably wouldn't waste time/energy on developing something like that for the tiny gain...

something small, like a feirro.   for cost efficiency i would use deep cycle 12v batteries,

a Test:::  we could calculate how many small DC motors+wind turbines it would take to charge the batteries on a remote control car, at its max speed. and see how long it can run itself for.
vs. the run-time of the car with no turbines attached.

i seen a small van on line when i find it ill post the link
i think it verified that this car does work
ill be searching
the other guy used a wind turbine strapped to the side of the mini van , but he ran free to.

great ideas to change the body style above

also in new cars don't they charge when going downhill?

i had to prove to myself that wind alone will pull a vehicle forward
we all know sailing will blow huge ships
anyway  this link was for anyone wanting to see a vehicle powered by wind

http://youtube.com/watch?v=pZ3_JAPpH3

there are other fan driven designs that pull the vehicle forward when wind is blown at it
but maybe this concept will inprove the vehicle

this was a funny thing! i walked and thinked today and came to a simular conclusion!...small windpowerd generators (that can deliver good volts and amps) that is sitting under (in the line shaft?) in a "windtunnel" that forces a lot of air from the front and under the car in to the windtunnel to turn the generators, and perhaps have a newman machine in each wheel axel that also loads the batterypack

EACH air resitance (to the car) wil l the car slow down


more losses than gain !

pese, "EACH air resistance (to the car) wil l the car slow down more losses than gain !"

 That may not be true depending how the wind resistance is utilized. Wind resistance can be used to push as well as pulsed power can be utilized to keep the motors cool as well as the collapsing fields and back EMF's can be recovered to recharge batteries.
 There is a lot of things that I have yet to see tried and I think it would be wise to start testing some of those things.

One of the videos that pcockriel posted http://youtube.com/watch?v=XRYkIzjmCR4&feature=related proves how wind resistance can be utilized to create a push in the oposite direction of the wind.

What's wrong with you, people??? There's a quite normal, petrol driven convertible with a ten-fan equippment, and you're persuming it's a wind-driven???
OMG....  It's scarry.
WTF????
