I can't wait til someone comes in here and starts talking about zero point energy, et al.
Wouldnt be 100% perpetual though, down hill coasting would be energy from the power of gravity. Why hasnt someone made a vehicle the same as they are now for electric, with hood roof and trunk covered with solar panels?
