| If a sailtrain idea could be made to work, maybe the same thing could be done with a sailtruck. Maybe a fleet of very heavy big wheel trucks would use super large sails to collect energy from the wind. As in the train, several trucks working together would control the large sail as it pulled the truck down a road. Maybe the trucks could pull storage containers that would be charged with electrical energy. Containers that became charged would be disconnected from the generator truck and uncharged ones connected as the convoy moved down the road. Dirt roads might be easier to maintain than railroads. Trucks would be easier to move around, to take advantage of wind sources. |
