"Antrepreneur" HAHAHA

It’s a formulation of various hydrocarbons.

You excite it in a closed chamber and capture the expansion of gasses. You then use this captured energy to make something magnetic spin around next to some coils.

This in turn will create a flow of electrons you can use to drive a motor.

E = mc² + AI must be the obvious answer

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago

What i think is funny is that AI has to equal 0 so its actually saying that AI is useless
So people fond of AI are criticising it themselves XD

I hated working in startups and I'd get so many wackos pitching their bazillion dollar ideas to create the next Facebook.

I've legitimately had someone suggest adding a small wind turbine to a car to generate power to charge the car as it's moving.

the CIA doesn't want you to know this

You're eating the air resistance anyway so probably not the worst idea if it generates a more than negligible amount.

[–] mundane@feddit.nu 21 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

It will increase air resistance, so you don't gain anything (a turbine will need more power to spin when there is an electric load).

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io -3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It will increase air resistance,

Not if you position it, say, in front of the car so that you're getting energy without getting hit without much additional force. If you somehow don't need to see, the whole front of the car can be turned into a turbine. Now obviously we're not making a perpetual motion machine here, but this could theoretically be the air resistance equivalent of regenerative braking.

[–] balder1991@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

It doesn’t work because the car’s front is shaped to minimize drag, and a turbine would add drag — forcing the motor to work harder to maintain speed. Turbines generate energy by resisting airflow, not letting it slide past. So you’re not harvesting free energy; you’re paying for it with more fuel or battery.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

You have just invented a perpetuum mobile machine. The turbine will power the car which, whilst moving, will in turn power the turbine. Pure genious.

Simple really:

(Smaller battery) + (Greater capacity) + (Inexpensive Cost) = More Sales

Now the secret to achieving all three of those things rather than just two can be revealed to you for a small nine figure sum for the next ten years...

Formula 2. He wants to make F2 cars.

[–] ciapatri@sh.itjust.works 8 points 16 hours ago

So kind of you to take the time to consider his auspicious offer, what with all the millions of messages you receive!
