I just entered
my entry is an idea I've developed since I bought my car with dual turbo charger
a turbo charger converts sound energy and heat energy to mechanical energy which can be converted to electrical energy
my entry is as follows
in cars that do not use a turbo for popwer, hook up a turbo drive anyway and use it to power the alternator and the air conditioner compressor.
even cars that rely on the turbo for boost, most engines are in boost only a few percent of the time, the turbo can definately be used to serve dual purposes
this is found energy since it is using energy that would otherwise be converted to heat energy by the muffler
enter your ideas then post here so we can discuss
