Future car...?

[louie]

I just posted a question about Perpetual Motion, and since no one liked it, here is another idea for my Future car:

"Use a combination of Solar power, Wind power, and a Magnet Engine to power a car."

The Good: Uses solar power to make electricity during the day. Uses hidden fans at points where air would be forced into, and converts it to electricity, to maintain the car while moving. the electricity would drive an Electromagnetic Engine to power all 4 wheels. The body its self is sleek and aerodynamic for little air resistance.

The Bad: solar panels, and solar paint are costly, making the price of the car go up. would be dependent on electricity, but would be able to supply its own from two sources while in motion.

The Ugly: I don't know how Solar paint would look?

Any more suggestions or comments, and feedback on this type of setup, or where I could get more info on it would be nice.
well the idea behind this is a car for say, 2025, when gas WILL be more money, and Global warming (if you believe in it) will be an issue...

and the self charging electric car idea.. I had that idea, and posted something about it in the Physics area, and everyone bad mouths me saying it was impossible.. lol (tho I believe it will happen someday)

It's not too hard to make a car go, the trick is you need to run the AC. And that uses lots of the power. I live in phoenix so AC is important. Plus gas isnt that expensive yet. When it goes up to 5 or 6 a gallon all those ideas will become more atractive.

AC will be important if the place you are taking the car is hot.. But if its kinda snowy, you'll need a heater.. In short, it depends on the current weather...

That's a great idea... But the problem is, will the car manufacturers manufacture a car like that?
