I'm confident it'll start working if you add enough pulleys to the arrangement.

Just make the pulleys out of sharkskin for reduced friction

There would be no friction at all with shark skin pulleys.

[whatever the gently caress ajoviima is in English... seriously, why can't I find a word for it what the gently caress lmao?]

Looking it up, we don't really have a word for the wind or breeze caused by something passing by, we generally just use other words that already mean moving air. In racing it's called a draft, in terms of "riding in the draft" or whatever, but again that's just a general word for moving air.

I remember seeing plans for an automobile that runs on [whatever the gently caress ajoviima is in English... seriously, why can't I find a word for it what the gently caress lmao?] with a big fan at the front instead of the motor (as opposed to in front of the motor as in conventional automobiles).

it's also worth pointing out that a lot of electric vehicles have something like that already in the regenerative brake system. it converts some of that mechanical energy back into electrical where most of it would be lost as heat energy.

Hydroelectric is basically a gravity engine. But as a cyclist, yeah, hills are great when you start on top of them.

You CAN do some neat stuff by storing energy while breaking to use when accelerating later however, not sure if it's possible to do that efficiently in a vehicle as small as a standard car though.
