just a simple idea for a rarely need to charge electric car

[ragingpixels]

I just got a simple idea but to really make it will require a lot of money and tons of research.

but there is a such thing as pliable and basically cloth like solar panels that can be laid over a car's surface that can be covered in a special make of clear coat so that sun light will still pass through and make the same amount of energy as it would without it. I've seen it at an electricity expo.

anyway that isnt the main part, thats just something to give the car some tiny juice. the main part is having about 16 or so battieries in a car, but not the current lead acid ones, there is a new type of biotech battery lithium ion using nano tech, basically the battery is biodegradable and is made up of viruses and bacteria aside from the case and the dyes they are made on and takes a lot lesser time to fully charge. and are supposedly to have more juice than the current lithium ions and lead acids. the current ions are great but tend to get hot real fast and explode!

Also somehow add single alternators to each wheel set, so that the spin of the wheels can turn the alternator as well, but it will need to turn quite fast to generate electricity, and you know how wind up lights use multiple gears to get a lot of churns without much work. well do the same for these, as the tire spins it spins a big gear, then a smaller one then another smaller one and in the ind spinning the alternator quite fast, but this does create a lot of heat, and so cooling will have to be researched, also like the reventon, there are tires that are made to suck in air to cool the parts behind it, and im sure with some sort of way, this can be done for it too, or just cooling set right by the alternators.

Now only have like 12 of the batteries in use while the car is moving, while the other 4 are for reserves and are charging while the car is moving, Having a computer control the charging cycles, when the battery on the end of the configuration is getting low, have it move over to the next one and drop off the barely dead one so it can be charged. and so you know if any of you dont, there are charging systems to have your car charge 2 or more batteries indepedently rather than together, which does save time and juice, because then the current doesnt have to go through the fully charge batteries to get to the near dead ones. and does expand the life of it.

just a thought....later all.

Somthing very similar if not the same has already been done both as a batteries operated car and one with solar power and both...but if you didnt know about this good thought.

Like i said its simular and it was on the discovery channel if i can find anything on it on the web ill post it here for you but basicly it was all about "future cars" were they had profesors and scientists and what not all on different jobs working on there own car. One guy had a electric car that could go up to 160mph xxsec's and was about to go alittle over 100 miles before needing a new charge which sadly took alittle but not many ppl drive 100 miles in one day atleast i dont. They had cars that ran off pure solar power but instead of just being able to drive during the day it actually stored power so while driving and while off stationary it still took in power. There was alot more ill c what i can do. Like i said its not exactly what you were saying (though very interesting theory)

Another car that wont get release in our generation...
