You know, I wonder if the idea of powering a car with a wind turbine started when someone saw the Dans driving down the road with a windmill mounted on the front bumper!

There's also a TV advert running in the uk at the moment for a greener car. Lined up in the bacground are a number of "inventions", one of them being a car with two windturbines on the front. It wouldn't surprise me if we get someone asking if it was possible :-) .

The wind powered machine posted below by Ed....I'll bet it's not as quick as me in my kite buggy. 35mph down the beach in May before I had to reign it in and admit defeat due to the fact I couldn't hold it any longer.

It's actually being done by several groups. Not full size cars but small vehicles.

I posted a link about them some time ago when someone posted about the wind car but it was removed as if it were some overunity device... nothing overunity about it... slow maybe but it works...

windstuffnow, blame me i hid your story and not because it was overunity but because you were trying to continue a twice locked story and wdyasq had posted that same link you posted in a comment of the original or the continuation of the story you were trying to continue anyway so it was kinda pointless and just bound to cause us more trouble so i hid it. we have to draw the line somewhere

There is no Debil about it - just human nature. This site prides itself on DIY windpower that anyone can learn to build if they want. There are plenty of hustlers' web sites out there for fictional technology or crippled circuits being ascribed 'magical' powers. This ain't one of them.

Dear acapulco, the question isn't why do people here "OMFG fear" overunity...

The question is, if you are interested in overunity, why are you asking OU questions here?

There are a lot of people over at "oupower.com" who are very receptive and supportive about unusual questions and ideas concerning OU.

Asking an OU question here is like asking a very experienced plumber a question about the electrical code. SACA is very useful for steam questions, HAES is helpful with Stirling engine questions, endless-sphere is great for electric bicycle questions...

Why do OU people keep asking this site to change?

Because people at this site make stuff that works, and answer questions?

Might be "hard" to find an OU site with something published that actually works?
Harder to get a question answered about something OU that works?

I am not against "OU" study because it could lead to higher efficiency, but I'm not going to read about every crazy idea based on 'hope', and I'll only read about the one that works when I see it on every front page in the world.
