Even if you could bring this amazing vehicle to market, you may find people rather stay with there current cars. We have lots of cars that can get 40 MPG, but our highways are still clogged with brand new trucks and SUVs that get 12 miles per gallon. People like them and as long as they can afford to drive them they will keep there gas powered cars.
Well, you and all those others are trite, bad people. I don't know what else to say since I'm in my mid thirties, haven't driven in over 10 years and use a bike or my feet to get everywhere. But you have to have YOUR car because it has heated seats? Right here, this is EXACTLY what is wrong with our world. I have a pain in my stomach right now because of you(a more polite way of saying "you make me sick").

Its a common assumption to believe that if such a device existed, then it would be fairly easy to get it into production, but as you might see when investigating these peoples' stories, you will find that they all end in the same manner. There is a force, this force comes from these elite, basically the guys with all the "money." The reason they are rich and have massive control, is the fact they control the fuel, electricity, and such things everyone depend on. Now enter a device which eliminates the need for that fuel. There will be a huge resistance on their part, and they will want to do everything in their power to stop that from existing. I'm sure with an unlimited budget, and a bit of skills, you could bury anything which presents a threat.

If what you say is true then raising finance to develop, produce and market the product would not be overly difficult. Is there a prototype?
I work for an international bank and I assure you that, if proven, the technology would attract a multitude of investors. Now whilst I am not suggesting that you necessarily talk to me or my company (although you are of course more than welcome to) I think that it would be immensly beneficial to you to speak to someone with experience of raising finance. I do not think that there is any doubt that you would get the initial payment and longer term per unit royalty payments that you have indicated that you are interested in.

And Illuminis, I thought you said you worked from home? But above you are saying that you commute?...

There is no perpetual motion. Energy comes from somewhere. This design just makes better use of the capabilities of the actual parts, and forces ultra tight management of the produced energy. You will still have to charge the car overnight, so that amount must be put back into the batteries. It is still an electric car, it just has no cap on range which is what the original electric car owners complained about. The weight of the system is what stops it from being scalable even when drag is reduced to the lowest levels. Those metals are heavy and it does not matter if its lead or NiCad it weighs and eats up the energy you are attempting to manage.

Objection 3: although some books say that you have to have a complete conducting loop before a current can exist, that is just another misconception. Electrons do not travel across the insulating gap in a capacitor nor do they jump across the space between the primary and secondary windings of a transformer. This is so even when the energy source is a battery; I have constructed circuits like those in figure 2 that show that the lamp lights up briefly when the switch is closed. No matter how the energy travels in those examples, it must be able to get through empty space. (It is true that if you want to maintain a steady current in a circuit, then a continuous conducting loop is required.)

Some pages ago i mentioned two things wrong with what you're saying:
- The car has to be plugged into an electric socket for battery cycling
- The mechanism is not scalable
Both of these things make no sense whatsoever, and both were put in as an act of fake humility, trying to make the whole thing more believable.
You ignored this, but now you suddenly changed your statements, to fix these two issues.
So first your car was self charging, but now.. Well, it still doesn't need charging, you only have to put back into the batteries, what you take out, right?
You obviously have zero understanding of electric systems, because that IS charging.
You've changed your story from "self charging" to "improoved electric car".
Only this one doesn't have a cap on range.. What does that mean? It can go as far as you want and only needs to be charged, when you don't want to use it? That's very nice of the batteries to be so understanding of the drivers needs.
And then you go on to explain the scalability problem with the weight of the metals in the batteries...
You are full of it. It is obvious, you're creating a Hoax, and you're not even consistent in it. You're most probably just trying to make fun of people, who want to believe.
Hoaxes like this actually do damage to the entire field of research and make everything appear to be a hoax. And while it is true the energy has to come from somewhere, hoaxes make people stop looking.

In any case where there is thought that is not conventional there are naysayers such as yourself. That is normal. Everyone cannot have the capacity to think differently, only just a few. There is only creation when one thinks on their own. Most however are content to replicate like monkeys. Some are dumbfounded when anyone would choose not to replicate.
The fact is the people that say it cannot work are only correct because the people that taught them it cannot,.....told them so. They were wrong to limit your mind.

Here are the hard facts:
1, The car is self charging during use. If it was dropped off and then picked up by a new user within an hour or two, it would run till the bushings and bearing wore out.
2. It still must be plugged in at night to condition the batteries when not in uselike all electric cars.
