I'm doing a project on how to solve global warming and this is my idea. 1.A car equipped with a magnet drives over the coil embedded in the road. 2.The direction of the magnet’s motion is always perpendicular to the vertical component of the magnetic field. 3.When a wire moves at right angles to a magnetic field, a current is induced in the wire. The voltage of this current is determined by the formula where V=voltage, B=the strength of the magnetic field, s= the speed of the wire, and =the length of the wire. 4.The current is then run through the rectifier-battery-inverter complex to convert it to smooth ac. Is this a feasible idea? How much impact will it make in solving global warming? Is a calculation on how much electricity it will generate possible at this point when it's just a prototype? Does a similar technology exist?
