Strap This Wind Turbine To Your Electric Car and You Can Drive Forever
Reminds me of the first day I got my MS. I drove over to Advance Auto to pick up some cleaning supplies and started getting lots of questions about the car. The employee behind the counter started telling me that he thinks all they have to do is put an alternator on the electric car so that the alternator will charge the battery when the car is moving and you can run the car basically forever. I tried explaining the physics behind why that wouldn't work, but wasn't getting anywhere. He still thinks his idea will work....
The best analogy I could think of that would make these alternator believers understand is to ask them if they could plug a spotlight into a solar panel and shine it on the panel to power the light. The panel only turns a small portion of the light into electricity so there's no net gain.
