i am not an engineer by any means. perhaps you can clarify why this idea wouldn\'t work. on an electric or hybrid car recharging seems to be the limiting factor on mph. my idea consists basically of utilizing technology used in wind generating stations or more simply, alternators to charge the batteries. if the \"alternators\" were placed on each rotating axle couldn\'t the rotation of four axle generators recharge the vehicle? in essence, the vehicle would need initial power but after that as long as the vehicle rolls it\'s creating power.
