“Conventional battery powered cars will never be the future”

Can any physics experts out there tell me if this is theoretically possible? At some point in the future a super strong battery is developed that can be recharged on the fly, the electric car motor turns a super strong generator so the battery is constantly replenished with voltage and never drains while the car is running, giving the car the ability to run indefinitely without having to stop and recharge. In theory more energy would be produced than consumed. Just wondering if that might ever be possible.

What you describe at least partially defies the laws of physics as they are understood. Could some machine continuously draw hydrogen or nitrogen from the atmosphere on the fly? Perhaps.

You may have seen a recent report of a crop of corn in a remote mountainous Mexican village which self fertilizes by drawing in nitrogen from the air and creating a globular form as it’s own source of fertilizer. For some time geneticists have sought to construct such a plant and only recently discovered this as a non-GMO, naturally occurring plant.

So, could something similar be translated from an organic application into a mechanical application? Who knows at this point, but creating any machine with an output greater than it’s input has long been thought to defy basic laws of the universe.

“In theory more energy would be produced than consumed.” Uh...no. That’s impossible. A motor being powered by a battery cannot at the same time run a generator that keeps the battery charged. That’s the stuff of comic books or Rube Goldberg cartoons.
