the wind charger idea is something I'll have to try on my camper truck,
(instead of running noisy,smelly gas genset,)
mind you vertical axis windcharger is better and more efficient.imo see windside dot com

also another source of energy is the shocks. Think of the up and down motion over bumps. Also think of the power in the air from electro-magnetic waves caused by power lines and radio/tv signals

Check out my solar powered prius video. 70 MPG and if you do less than 6 miles per day and 42mph you never have to buy gas again.

This technology heralds a new age in low cost transport. £30 to do 1500 miles. Imagine the benefits of low cost travel, low cost holidays, low cost business travel, low cost food and other goods. A major british supermarket (tescos) are now using battery powered vans for their home delivery vehicles. If they used onboard and offboard solar chargers they could offer low cost deliveries or just lower the price of their food. The opportunities are endless.

He said in the video he spent £30 to do 1500 miles. If you go to google and type in solar cars you will see that there are many people building and using solar cars. There is an american company mass producing solar roofs for hybrids. Go to solarelectrical vehicles dot com. If switches to a renewable energy supplier he can get green electricity from the grid for those days when there isn't enough sun or wind to fully charge the battery.
