Is A Windmill Or Turbine On Top Of An EV At All Practical?
No. Butâ¦
Ever since man started manipulating energy for motion, the idea of the perpetual motion machine has seduced many scientists and inventors. The viral video making rounds on social media that has a windmill-like structure on top of a poor Nexon EV is probably the creation of one such ambitious inventor. While it has a valid theoretical concept (wind energy), is the idea really sound? Or beneficial?
Charging the batteries of a car by using the very motion of it is not new. It is used in most modern cars to generate electricity when braking. But that only kicks in while the vehicle is in retardation. Coming back to the windmill, the creator here undoubtedly wanted to tap into something more potent. Charge your car by driving your car! Sounds too good to be true, doesn t it?
