Ah - like the fella that was going to get cheap energy by hooking up a bunch of alternators to a 5hp gasoline engine, and put out several Kwatts of power.
He knew it would work, because he could spin the alternators by hand, so they did not take much power to turn.
I think of that thread from a few years ago every once in a while.... ;)
Yea, the 5th wheel thing works - if you don't add more weight & drain power with a 5th wheel. You just need to use electric motors, and while braking use that force to recharge the batteries with the 'waste' power from braking. However, those circuts add weight & expense to the vehicle, which makes it less efficent when you are not braking. Ends up a real small payoff.
A 5th wheel, eh? That's good. Maybe it could spin the alternators.....
