  1. Yes, it's called Hybrid.   When you break, generators would be engage to recover some of the energy used to make your car move.    Other methods would cause your car to be less efficient.   There might be other ways to recover some of the energy, but isn't worth the while a t this point.


  2. you can generate some.

    but not as much as it took to get the car moving in the first place.

    you might note that toyota advertises that a prius gets  "average of 60 mpg in city driving and 51 mpg on the highway."

    note that it gets more in the city than on the highway, which is the reverse of what most other cars do.

    the reason is that when braking, it recovers the energy of motion.

    and uses it when starting again.

    because city speeds are slower, it takes less energy to go the same distance.

    fact is that highway mileage would be higher for most cars if they constantly drove 35-40 mph, rather than 65.

    prius' lower highway rating is  because of the typically higher speed.

  3. In theory a conductor (car metal) passing through a magnetic field would allow creation of some electrical current.

    However, it would require the engine of the car to expend even more energy as it would resist teh motion of the car.

    Now this might not matter to you if you are collecting the electrical energy and some s*****k who owns the car is paying for the fuel in the car.

    You might even harness wind created by passing cars, and in this case the car might experience no net increase in fuel consumed. Cars could avoid creating your wind by being close coupled as a train, and having sides and tops that form a continuous plane. (Then you would get no wind from passing cars.)

    In a serious vein, no, we are not going to extract energy from motion of cars other than as a result of some form of braking,,, be it accelerating a flywheel, compressing gas, or charging a battery.

  4. charge batteries and use it in homes or offices

    heat water for cleanings

  5. The energy from a moving car can partly be recovered by slowing it down.

    Known as "regenerative brakeing" about 30% of the energy can be converted back to electric.

    Electric cars (including hybrids) will usually do this automatically as the motor becomes a generator.

  6. umm. don't see how this is possible. especially the way people operate these days
