Err but what about the dead birds, windmills are bird killers apparently , that was someone else’s logic
If it’s methane will these cars look amazing but stink ?

Why not just use strong magnetic pistons in an all aluminum engine block? Use the push and pull effect of permanent magnets attached to a crank shaft and large flywheel? Maybe just use the push or repel effect with air compression or try it in a total vacuum inside that same engine block made of all aluminum? We need an official ATS Think Tank here to make this work! 🤔 💡
Natural gas is the cleanest traditional fossil fuel source because it produces relatively low amounts of pollutants like carbon dioxide -- a potent greenhouse gas and major contributor to climate change. But greenhouse gases and pollutants released by burning natural gas could be reduced even further with the help of advanced catalysts that help lower the temperature at which methane -- the largest component of natural gas -- is burned. "The more efficiently we burn methane and the less energy we use to burn it, the less greenhouse gas and pollutants it produces. So, anything we can do to get this combustion temperature down is an environmental win," said Reza Shahbazian-Yassar, professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at the University of Illinois Chicago.
New catalyst can make natural gas burn cleaner Lowering the combustion temperature for methane

A cage will reduce the windmill output and do nothing to stop the noise from driving off ground dwellers. The subsonic noise can make some people go insane miles away.

Once a perminant magnet pushes or pulls, then what? It has to alternate and perminant magnets don't.

I don't know, inertia or kinetic energy of the flywheel does the rest? Push, push, push, push, and crank that mother effing crank shaft just like old ass current explosion technology would. You know you're not being a real helpful member of the ATS Think Tank team! 😜
