No matter where the wind turbine is located, if the air flow spins the blades, it will add drag to the vehicle. There is no free lunch.

Remember, drag *through* the radiator and the engine bay account for about 10% of the overall drag. If you add drag to this "path" then you add drag to the vehicle.

This thread needs to be move to the Unicorn Corral.
