If a car were to use a combination of solar power, wind power, and regenerative braking, wouldn't that help
Is it feasible to use these methods to increase gas mileage? For instance, wind power generators placed strategically in or on the vehicle could at least produce enough electricity to power the radio and other devices. Just a thought.
You can’t use wind power.
The wind is coming from the car’s movement, and that is coming from the engine.
So you have the inefficiency of the engine * the inefficiency of the wind turbine + the drag of the wind turbine.
compared to just powering these devices directly.

Explanation:
Not possible.
Most of these do not produce enough lto sustain power (long term power) to move a vehicle (normally weighs about 1 ton).
Also problem on efficiency and mounting of equipment which will make the car even heavier.
You might want to ask yourself this questionon whether you want to drive at 25 mph to your destination. And instead of taking 30 mins now it takes 2 hours.
