What about wind energy that could be captured by turbines as the car is driven?

I don't know if they would work or not but seems to me it would use more energy than it produced. This would be on the lines of a perpetual motion machine, as long as the car moved it would have power! Don't think it is feasible.

Or if the car was put on rollers which in turn powered a generator...

It’d be best to have a forward mounted, super conducting electromagnet and radar based, distance controller so as to “draft” the vehicle in front.

Yep, it’s high time someone designed such an add-on for the Prius. After all, most of their drivers bought into the AGW scam, so they are ripe for such a stunning offer.
