Obviously, the losses would outweigh the gains, but we have speculated, "what if" we put "mini windmill" fans at strategic locations on the front of our cars in order to get a little bit of "free juice".

Based purely on how dim the bulb is verses when it is fully lit, i'd venture a guess of only 6-8 volts being generated.

when I get a chance Id like to put a meter on it just to see.
