You could ''charge up'' the engine by pedalling for an hour ...say... after work everyday..The car would be ready to go in the morning. no hassle...

You kill two birds with one stone..

Greener automobiles ...and less fatties eating all the pies.woot woot

Seriously though it could work

Actually, it would probably take a 10 horsepower electric motor turning for 10 hrs to recharge the engine. Just drive it into the garage when you get off work, plug it in and it will recharge while you sleep. It has tons of applications. Hopefully my demonstration models will sell well so that I can have more money for further development of the design. It can put big oil out of business.

Welcome to the forum Mad Scientist,

I was just wondering do you have any background in engineering such as automotive, mechanical, aero, thermo etc... or did you invest time in learning the subjects personally like many inventors have done in the past.

Thousands of hours performing experiments and doing reading/research.
