Russell,
     I have to agree. This is perpetual motion and that violates the=20
basic laws of thermodynamics. Yes, we are surrounded by energy and we=20
can harvest that energy but the amount that can be harvested is very=20
limited. Even trying to get enough power for a light bulb is very=20
difficult. Keeping a battery charged and supplying enough power to run a=20
motorcycle with a person on it would be impossible.
     Also energy recovery during coasting and braking is a real and=20
achievable goal but you can't recover 100% let lone recover 100%+. Some=20
percent of power will be loss to heat caused by friction with the air,=20
friction in the bearings, friction at the tire and road interface,=20
resistance in the wiring, and resistance in the batteries. An 80% total=20
efficiency rating is probably being conservative. It is probably closer=20
to 50%.
Thanks,
rich!
