Keith (and all), I've always been a fan of the internal gravity drive system you have described here. However, please note the huge penalty encountered when you need to reverse. Also problematic when climbing very steep inclines. The low-tech version of course is simply to plan all your trips so that you always drive downhill.
There is also the water/hydrogen fuel system which is so popular in weblore of late. Personally, I think more research is required into the potential for spraying steam into the combustion chamber with the hydrogen to increase the expansion rate, producing more power, and obtaining more energy from the same amount of water fuel. Having some experience with electric drive systems, I have had discussions on some other techniques. Having batteries to store electrical energy opens several additional options. There is the potential for stringing energy collection webbing over the vehicle to collect cosmic or zero-point energy to charge the batteries continuously. (Due to the low voltage, a network of capacitors and voltage doublers - which obviously double the energy available - is likely required as well, but you know, no investment is too large when we're talking free energy. Naturally "ultra- capacitors" improve the efficiency relative to those older, conventional capacitors.) The Tesla electric car provides incontrovertible evidence that this is a viable approach (if only it still existed or anyone actually had any idea how it worked). My personal favourite remains the "generator on one wheel" energy multiplication system. Simply put a generator one wheel of the electric car, and use it to produce electricity to charge the batteries while driving. The car will never run out of charge this way. I have been approached so many times about this technology that I am prepared to provide a fully functional electric car to anyone who wishes to pursue this research for a mere Cdn$15,000.00. This to hasten the necessary research and prototyping or the individual or consortium that will inevitably become rich beyond our dreams by perfecting this technology. (Caveats: I only have one testbed available, so it is first-come, first-serve - cash, money order or certified cheque. If demand warrants, I will try to supply additional testbeds, but only in the name of stimulating competition to encourage faster development of this technology.) I'll cut this short as I have to meet with a potential business partner this afternoon, but would love to get into the mechanics of a wind-generator-powered electric car, which would obviously be charged by the high wind speed of the vehicle traveling on the road turning the turbine blades.
