*Grabs pitchfork*

Nobody would have batted an eye if she showed up in a recent-model Corolla that's worth literally twice as much money.

A friend of mine had a similar trailer stolen a few months ago (also in SoCal). It was recovered a day later with the contents untouched.

Silly Kinja...tried posting this in response to another comment, but I don't *think* it went through.

I liked it better when this was called the TVR Sagaris...

Okay, now this is boss. Exposed cooling fan as part of the exterior design? I'm a huge fan of the marriage of form and function, and this is a great example of that done right. Color me a fan.

I don't care what anyone says, I love this thing.

Do I see a little S60 in there?

Wow, somebody at Gawker tied Jesus for the dumbshit headline of the year.

Apparently, one does not need a degree in physics to write for Gizmodo.

Someone failed science.
Always available 'later this year.' Never 'order now, we have 400 in stock.' Send us money now, we'll send you turbines later this year.

Facepalm......kids please pay attention in school

Someone needs to review conservation of energy.

Obligatory :

This has to be a joke right? Any energy these harvest is going to be less than the amount of energy it takes to overcome the resistance. Save wind turbines for things that don't need to use energy to move through air resistance.

If these only popped out when you hit the brake, it would be a good idea. Otherwise - no.

Yea.... sure....

In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

Special shaped turbine blade that bends the first law of thermodynamics!

I'm really hoping that the title is a joke and that you realize that perpetual motion machines are physically impossible.

To be honest, I have no idea why someone actually built this thing. It might be good for powering on-board electronics; but that's why cars have alternators. It's not even really one of those…
