Spring Filled Wheels That Boost Power Efficiency!
..
Did you hear about the new footwear that has a spring built in? Many marathon runners are winning with this shoe. It stores up most of the downward force and lets the wearer use it to boost power around the lower leg. While you may have seen the footwear that has air boost, this is of a higher power. 97 % of the downward force is saved and reused to jog foreward. If this is linear and machines that spin are better yet, even better machines are possible that use bands around the outside of each wheel of say a Yugo or Jeep. As the wheel rolls forward, the inventor says the ribbon parallel to the axle of the wheel in front of the tire compresses as it moves forward, and it actually expands in the opposite direction of the car's general motion, so there's a boost on one side of the tire that moves it toward the other. Thus it's as if the vehicle is always rolling a bit or a lot more uphill than usual, like a motor generator because going down the hill it's converting the downward force to be used to then go forward, so it's not just for hills and it's like the gravity power machines converting the gravity to power. Like the motor generator the force is first stored, then reused, improving efficiency but in a simpler way. All that flexing of the wheel may seem to generate a lot of heat, this could just be wired to power the car by electric motors. And with more wheel area on the road, this wheel has a safety advantage about traction control.

They have the fans to collect the air around 18 wheelers, automobiles move a lot of air as they wheel up the superhighway and I mentioned on this site last year about using panels that would flex the vehicles would drive over to collect the power (Click Here For Complete/More Zoom Info) but like the idea of using magnetic bearings instead of having a whole track of magnets for maglev trains this would be a lot cheaper and by improving efficiency this may be a major way to save on visits so fuel prices stay on a remote island in the Aleutians!

I see women who wear eyewear, when will they have brushes the wife adds to her eyelashes to cleanse her zooms, windshield wipers for eye wear are of real worth to science!
