1 - You can't make a profit
2 - You can't break even
3 - You can't get out of the game
Basically as it worked not all of the energy would go back into being reclaimed, there will always be waste, in fact, a heck of a lot of waste. They could probably put dynamos in the wheels, but the added weight and friction would probably cause more drag then worthwhile.
P.S I'm studying biochemistry, not physics, so this could be all nonsense that's been rattling around in my head. |
