Electricity Through Air

What's wrong with adding an inverter to the 12VDC circuits commonly found in cars?

Thank you,Mr.PWSlack.I receive this as a better suggestion than others.

The air collector(s) will increase aerodynamic drag, which to overcome, will require more energy from the engine - where's the improvement?

If this is a "something for nothing" idea Blog, you will not have a good audience here, they know what they are talking about!!

TANSTAAFL, which is an acronym for "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch."

Using the motion of a car to turn turbines to pump air into high pressure cylinders and then using said high pressure air to turn turbines to produce electricity just ain't feasible. Why not connect your car engine directly to a generator? Then you wouldn't have to leave home.

It is not clear what you are trying to do. If you simple want to run a car with compressed air, that has already been done. See:

Air powered cars use the compressed air directly in the "engine" to run the car. If you use a generator to power a motor, you will lose efficiency.

If you are talking about using the movement of the car to capture and compress the air, the drag on the car will be greater than the energy that you can get back.

Tad

maybe instead of trying to power the entire car, you could use a small amount of air to power a low voltage generator that would supply power to the electronics of the vehicle. or at least some of them. it would only be reasonable, however, if the generator weighed less than the battery and alternator assembly. just a thought

thank you.But i want to produce such a car which can use air for no chemical purpose i.e, just we are not producing any chemical activity just physical use but i have to be more peculiar about the drag on the car.

"we are collecting air from outside which is abundant into cylinders at high pressures"

You should basically see some wind generated technics , how much power(energy) is needed to compress air worth storing , i think abundance air in cylinder means high pressure , some thoughts on previous threads & forum were logically placed like installing a wind mill on top of the car to power its motors to drive the vehicle even though not possible from any point , compressed air vehicles are around from so many years , you can search them out

"The main problem is that to produce 300v of voltage through a acgenerator what is the pressure to be maintained in the cylinders"

you are attempting to take longer route , power the generator directly through engine and store the power in batteries as well as power to motors , and that too is done we call it hybrid!you are trying to increase the fuel consumption & pollution and all that

Thank you, MR Vikas.I am sorry to say that i forgot to say one thing in my comment

i.e, here what the power i am generating i going to be stored in batteries like in reva cars,and with help of this energy we running the motor as in a electric car.just here we need not use fuel.

Place a wind turbine on the top of the car, so in any wind & direction, electricity can be generated, stored, then used

How about this instead...something I've only heard myself talk about:

Using solar to assist automobile air conditioning...which, when in use, adds very substantially to fuel consumption.

I thought about it but I feel constrained to let others judge whether or not this is "on topic."

Looked in Halfords yesterday (other automotive parts suppliers are available). A 300W 240VAC inverter for a 12VDC supply can be had for £55.00 GBP including VAT.
