The Perfect Car
The perfect car is an electrical vehicle that can replenish its own energy while in motion nonstop has zero gas emissions seats 5 people has no fuel cost and would cost between 20000 to 40000 USD depending on its features. Such a car should be less complicated to built than our current combustion engine cars that have more than 7000 parts. Most of the technology for the perfect car has already been built and tested as of 2008. But the difficult part will be to overcome the special interest groups protecting their current status quo and creating all types of obstacles for manufacturing this perfect automobile. This article proposes the creation of small wind turbines to generate the power when the car is in motion to replenish its battery supply.
Automobile companies and the US government seem to believe that the hybrid automobile gasoline/electric that yields up to 150 miles p/gallon is the next logical step to reduce our carbon dependency and green house gases. This hybrid automobile has both components: the gas combustion engine plus the electrical and battery gear. It may reduce gas emissions and the use of fossil fuels but it does not eliminate carbon dioxide altogether.
The Toyota Prius is an example of a current hybrid that has been in operation since 1997. It is adequately priced seats 5 passengers but only delivers 48 miles p/gallon. On the contrary the new Tesla Roadster is a 100 electrical vehicle that can reach 60 mph in 3.9 seconds has a top speed of 125 mph and a range of 244 miles on its electrical charge. However the
The ideal automobile for families should have the Tesla electrical technology plus the Prius regenerative brake technology plus a new wind power turbine technology placed on the car to replenish batteries while the car is in motion. The power generation from one or several small wind turbines on the car should produce the same amount of electricity as the vehicle uses making the car go indefinably nonstop. This would be a dramatic improvement on Tesla current per charge range of 244 miles. This would also eliminate the argument from its defractors that the electrical car is only good for playing golfing and not for street everyday use.
The Tesla and Prius technologies are already available and with time they can be improved and perfected. However the existing wind turbines technology uses very long blades to capture open field winds. Instead the new wind turbines for automobiles need to be small compact and discrete to be placed in the front part of the car and equipped to capture high speed winds. It is logical these wind turbines would be more efficient than their open field counterparts since the car in motion is already producing a displacement wind moving at the speed of the car. The wind would be funneled through to turn the electrical power generator that creates the electricity. With several small and discrete wind turbines sufficient energy should be generated to replenish the electricity that is being used.
The combustion engine has been in effect for little more than a century and people are accustomed to it. However the combustion engine is a nonsustainable component in our lives that needs to be replaced because it consumes nonrenewable resources and generates gases. New turbines that run on wind solar heat exchange need to be designed to replace these combustion motors and battery driven tools need to make deeper strides to eliminate the gas piston portable tools.
Car manufacturing companies like GMC Ford and Chrysler as well as government should reconsider their development thrust. They should evaluate going directly into electrical cars without the Hybrid step because America replaces its entire car population every 10 years if all manufactures are producing the elecrical vehicle. People can get accustomed to good things immediately. We the people also need this electrical technology to evolve into trucks to reduce transportation cost from all products we currently use and consume making man’s life more economical and enjoyable.
