Notes:

👉 Frequently asked questions in the comments.

→Can you capture the wind energy of the car at highway speeds with a windmill or air ducks etc?

The short answer is no.
Exactly like the alternator, the windmill acts like a brake resisting turning and slowing down the car.
If you add a windmill or scoop or "x" to the car, it will produce more drag and slow the car just like a brake would. The mechanical power needed to spin the windmill will be slightly more than the electrical power created to turn the windmill. The car has to supply the extra mechanical power to keep the car in motion. You will waste more power than you gain back.

→Why not add solar panels to the roof, hood etc to use the suns energy?

It would increase the weight of the car, and GREATLY increase the cost of the car, for very little charge. Solar panels are not very efficient compared to their weight. So it a nice idea for a big stationary object like a house, but not so much for something that has to use power to move them all over town. Parking in the shade or in a garage lowers their benefit as well. I personally don't think people would pay the difference in cost for this very small benefit. In fact, the weight might completely waste the added charge by using more power when you drive. As their weight reduces and efficiency improves this might change in the future. There are car companies that have reduced the weight of the car and made very large panels such that the car gets a lot of power from solar, but those few car options cost over $100k. This might change in the future.

→What if you add a second battery and switch back and forth, charging one as you drive on the other.

If you re-watch the segment where I use the cups to show the flow of power, you will see an example of why this doesn't work. You are literally just charging one battery with the other when the process is boiled down to where the energy went. To simplify, it flows from battery #1 to motor, then motor to wheels, then wheels to alternator, then alternator to battery two. The problem is each mechanism is wasting some power, and because the second battery is a load just like the alternator, you are also running the first battery down faster by some amount that is greater than the energy that goes into battery two. You are powering the motion of the car and at the same time charging battery two. All of that power is coming from battery one. The important thing is the power out of battery one is more than the power needed to just drive the car. It is driving power +charging power! You will get more mileage without this system, and that is why no one uses it.This is very easy to test with a remote control car, an extra DC motor to act as a generator, batteries and a multimeter at home.

Please watch at least half the video before you comment. I promise it is worth it! I decided not to put a sponsor on this video because of the heated topic, but if you want to support more content like this please consider joining me on Patreon or buy me a coffee!

Imagine if ALL of the teachers in the U.S. were as capable as teachers "Explainers" as this gentleman. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.

[adinicic]

This is the kind of content that YouTube should be promoting more than the junk we usually get like stupid pranks, clowns with fancy cars etc. This dude is educated and well spoken to explain it in layman's terms.

[rvamark]

I spent 43 years as a mechanical engineer dealing with component efficiencies, and I want to complement you on a great video. You are spot on!

[bettypalmer]

My husband and I just watched this video - the first time we’ve ever seen you. It was so good. I told him that I hope you are also teaching at a college or younger students… you have a wonderful gift for explaining things in such simple terms, and your examples make your point come to life. I love the way you engage us and let us think it through with you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talents with all of us.
PS - I did not fail to see that there have been over six million views of this since you released it, so if you are not teaching in the educational system, I hope a good many of those younger minds are among your viewers. We’ve subscribed - definitely want to see more of your content. Blessings on you!

In all seriousness, the hardest part about designing a perpetual motion machine is where the to hide the battery.

[ELECTRONOOBS]

Uh, you explain so well. I have some trouble explaining myself in English sometimes. I've just posted this same topic 2 weeks ago and if you check the comment section, I’m still getting attacked by people who still believe that experiment is true. I get so many comments that I’m even thinking of purchasing the parts and doing the experiment just to prove it is wrong. They make me look like I’m the liar. Thanks for such a perfect explanation, let’s hope more people will accept it. Great job for all your videos man, you explain so “chill”.

Jeremy, I'm a retired electrical and electronics instructor. "Loved" your video. Your explanations were both "spot on" and easy for most to understand! The thing I learned was why the scammers put out these rediculous videos. They make money because of the advertisers and their victims who click on their video. We need more people like you in this world!!
Thanks,
Jerry L.

my father has watched those fake videos and he kinda believed it. So, I was literally searching for this kind of video to send to my father that these craps are fake. thank you bro for making this video.

[HughMcKinney-gz]

As a retired physics teacher, this is an excellent easy to understand explanation of magnetism, electricity, and machine efficiency concepts. You would have made a good science teacher!

[OnHoldAt]

Smart guy. As a tech myself, I love seeing you bringing physics to life for people that never knew. Your pictorials are concise and well presented. Kudos sir.
Subscribed. See you in your other videos.

[mactech]

Thanks Jeremy. It's refreshing to see facts on Youtube when there is so much B.S. on it. I'm a retired electronics technician, and the phony, conmen who try to scam you, drive me crazy. I do not fall for their click bait. Thanks for the heads up about the click-throughs they get, I had never thought of that.

[BGittins]

Well described ... I am really tired of the fake sites pushing this rediculous idea .. thanks for clear explaination.

[derekgladden]

Great video and explanation! As a former science teacher, I find it amazing how little ADULTS understand about basic physics. We need more content like this on YouTube.

[ElJaf]

39 year-old here who has always been interested in science and understands experimental design etc from Psychology but aaaalways struggled with traditional science subjects. But this is the first time I've understood 100% of what was presented to me! You are a superb teacher, thanks for being patient to take on this role and deliver engaging, interesting and effective lessons to me and others alike. I came searching for a diy bicycle generator and learned far more than I expected :D Subbed!!

[MrDejast]

I had "free" energy for 18 years, then I moved out of my parents home and paid for my energy like everyone else.

[anthonyesparsen]

This man is a great human being for telling nothing but truth here how rare is that today

[paulbramhall]

Jeremy as an Electrical engineer I could not have put it better well done Sir...

[ERiC-]

Woweee at last, a video presented by someone without shouting at the camera. Praise be for talking to us as if we were in the same room, excellent content with superior presenting skills. Letting the audience think and process without ramming it down our throats.

[drrick]

I so wish I could comment directly to you Jeremy. Your presentation was on par with my profs in EE school. One big difference is non-engineers can fully absorb and understand what you’ve presented.
OUTSTANDING!
