Harness the wind in your car
Why not add a low resistance fan and a small generator to an EV (electric vehicle) as a supplementary system? You are looking at 50-80mph winds while driving on the interstate that are going to waste! The latter being hurricane wind force. I do not expect this to fully charge a EV battery solely by the wind turning a fan in the radiator opening. We do have regenerative breaking which is the same used in diesel trains that recharges the batteries of a vehicle while breaking by using the resistance of the electric motor, we do have gasoline motors that charge and extend the range as in the Prius. The fan system (What I would call the SCS or Supplemental Charging Systems) doesn’t have to be a big drag on the car. It doesn’t have to have a massive generator. Just something that could charge a second set of batteries that are dedicated to illuminating the headlamps and gauges or the radio and windshield wipers. Or it could simply add voltage to the main battery array. In addition, the “radiator” fan could also be only active when NOT applying the accelerator. No resistance on normal driving but it could supplement the regenerative breaking component and only charge on deceleration. Simply done with an electronically controlled, fan shaft, clutch mechanism. If you can extend the range of an EV from 100 to 110 miles, that is 10% and that is HUGE!
