Using the wind energy from speed to save electricity?

October 26th, 2009

avrisaac asked:


Okay I was thinking of ways to help with the energy crises and was wondering:
if generators need to spin to make electricity

and when things go fast there’s wind,

why not hook a generator to the car (on top many in a box, with two openings on the front and back)and use the wind to spin the generator causing electricity to be made.

So what’s wrong with that idea?

Me and friend are doing a project on wind power and we need to know what you would do if you use a wind turbine for electricity and there isn’t enough wind to spin the turbine. Need an answer ASAP!!
