Yes that is correct. But how much. Basically it would be something like the Flash Light that you can make light, by shaking a magnet in a coil. The teeth can change the Magnetic Flux, and make a little bit of current. Voltage would be the number of turns in the winding over the magnet.

We are not changing the Arodynamics of the Car. Have not added weight, possibly reduced it.

Just trying a new idea.

My dad was a Geek at MIT back in the 30s. The idea then was to make a Steam engine go faster than 117 MPH. One person will not change the world, but can spark an idea that others can add to. Sort of what this is all about. They DID get the speed, and now all you have to worry about it the banking of the Road Bed.
