Yes, many electric bicycles power themselves while going down hills or costing. As for the other idea that you could recharge them just by pedaling … That exists already. Almost nobody wants it because it’s easier to plug your bicycle in. The point of the electric bicycle is to do less work, not to do more. Otherwise you would get a regular bicycle because it weighs less.
A mechanical engineering student that doesn’t know the law of energy conservation?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Aw man, Lemmy finally got a LinkedInLunatics instance? How long has this been here? That was like the last thread I’ve been hanging onto with reddit. Finally, this place feels like a genuine alternative 🎉
The community (which isn’t an instance!) has been there for a couple of years already: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27701
If you haven’t come across it before there is the Lemmy Explorer tool (with options for Piefed and Mbin as well): https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Welcome to the fediverse’s LinkedInLunatics, my friend!
Techbros rediscovering old principles, a tale as old as…well, since the tech industry.
If free energy was ever to be discovered it just wouldn’t come from some LinkedIn dipshit posting with AI, sorry.
This guy apparently doesn’t understand the first and second laws of thermodynamics. However, in his defense, this is sorta how regenerative braking works, but with less complexity.
Regenerative braking was my first thought.
Most people don’t. There is just no free lunch to ever be had.
That explains why we exist right now (for free)
A very, very unfunny joke.
It’s impressive that he figured out how to create a post though, considering room temp iq (during the winter in a commie block apartment, in celsius)

Why not cut out the middle man and directly charge battery 2 with battery 1? Switch and repeat.
wow, you did not have to call out my subnautica in-cyclops power cell recharging stations for spare cyclops batteries like that
Wow, excessive emojis and em-dashes… Not ai at all
I was about to say, could this post possibly have any more emojis? Although, from my knowledge of existing MLM hunbots I unfortunately already know the answer lol
Yeesh… the entire thing is so much secondhand embarrassment it makes me want to delete my entire profile just for the sake of it regardless of never using the actual site
My LinkedIn feed is like 90+% AI at this point. I don’t know why anyone bothers looking at the “content” on that website anymore. I only see it just incidentally on my way to the job listings and I am always shocked at how terrible it is
with uBlock Origin you can just filter the feed

I have never seen the Arabic language translation of this meme but I immediately understood it from having seen the English version.
I had this exact idea… when I was 7. That was before I was introduced to newtonian physics.
It’s a good idea, even if it can be ruled out. That person should offer more ideas. All of those Newtonian physics people never seem to offer up ideas.
You were introduced to classical mechanics at age 8?
They could’ve heard of Newtonian physics at any point between when they had the idea and now
Sort of.
They can understand some basic concepts before you get into the math. Especially potential energy turning into heat, which children experience firsthand frequently. IMHO kids these days seem to understand energy more easily than we did; I think it’s because of video games.
This has to be a parody account right?
A parody account… on LinkedIn?
I’m becoming increasingly more and more confused as to what this site’s purpose is intended for… I think they lied to me in college lol
Either that, or he’s not very smart, had a thought, poppet it into ChatGPT, and ChatGPT as it tends to do, affirmed his dumb idea, and he ended up asking it to make a Linkedin post for him on the idea.
I’ve seen similar stuff from students who think they’ve cracked how something works, only to be incredibly wrong, because they only know half of what they need to, but don’t know enough to understand how little they know. It’s part of the journey of getting sorta-good at something though.
Does he have a fundme or patreon page? I think it’s worth supporting his research if it can be applied to cars and trains one day.
If somebody is an airplane engineer, is it possible to do something like that with planes? It would be great if planes could become environmentally friendly with such technologies.
There was actually a prototype environmentally friendly airplane designed and tested back in 2000 during a genocide in Yorkshire that I feel like isn’t talked about enough. The plane, using bicycle technology, was successful in transporting all of the local populace to safe territory with the help of a veteran Royal Air Force member and an American entertainer posing as a flight specialist. Really an incredible story and there’s still footage of the flight. but I don’t know the status of the airplane today.
Thank you for the levity.
Hello, I am the owner of a large investment fund and I am willing to offer 1 billion dollars to develop this young man’s technology
They are already trying to EV airplanes.
Is this serious or a joke? Regenerative braking and other energy recovery methods have been standard on electrified vehicles for decades. Electric planes do exist, but the problem is that the mass to thrust ratio for electric motors is worse than jet engines. Most successful ones are pretty small and light.
I think you don’t fully grasp the genious, magnitude and potential of Aryan Bhambure’s invention. A continuous self-charging loop would essentially eliminate the time wasted on charging batteries. There would be no limit on the range of a car.
That’s even more interesting for planes, given that a transfer is possible. As others have mentioned, the technology is heavy, which could make it unsuitable for planes. But if those limitations can be overcome, direct flights between all places of earth become possible. I think that’s an advancement to humanity that’s worth our support.
There was this browser game (on the BBC website IIRC) with a Wallace and Gromit theme, in which you build stuff.
It had a level in which you make a vehicle-ish contraption and see how far it goes [1]. I managed to setup a motor and generator in such a way that it effectively increased the vehicle’s range by quite a bit.
I don’t remember well enough now, but I think the generator didn’t give as much resistance as the energy it was creating.
or more like whatever contraption you can make to get the dummy to go as far as possible. Could even be a cannon, launching the dummy. ↩︎
With this many emojis and em dashes, he’s probably engagement farming using llm content, regardless of the thermodynamics gaps in logic
mechanical engineering student
Did not pay much attention in high school
Look out for v2.0 which also features a sail on the front which you blow to go faster.
Okay, but blowing on a sail to go faster is actually a thing. Mythbusters even stated that they did their experiment in the worst method (i.e., not using modern designs and methods), and still found that a fan on a sail could make it move. It’s not free energy, but let’s not ignore how cool sails are.
This sounded very wrong to me, so I googled and apparently they had a setup where the reflected air from the sail caused a net flow in the opposite direction allowing them to move forwards. But that is less effective than just blowing the air straight backwards without a sail.
Look for the sail car video from Veritasium. With a chain drive you can out run the wind using the principles of sail propulsion.
