Anyways I think I have a solution to testing and creating enough electricity.
Testing: Brake Specific Fuel Consumption BSFC (I need to learn how to do this type of a test)
On-board emissions tester
Creating Electricity:
Waste heat generator=
Drive shaft alternator
Telescoping wind mill (when sitting in parking lots)
A few batteries
Solar panels
People power there will be pedals for the passenger
Black Soldier Fly hopper in bed to reduce garbage and create more biodiesel
Electricity generating shocks
Thermoelectric devices for more waste heat recovery
Algae growing in truck bed on a closed loop system connected to
Mcgyan biodiesel generator
We now have 2 full page adds advertising on board hydrogen generators.
What about
this.
