is this wishful thinking
hi to all, I hope this is posted in the right place. I have an old melex cart. 3 wheeler. looks rough. runs great.runs on three 12 volt batteries. is it possible to somehow install a generator that will charge the batteries as I ride the cart. resulting in not having to plug in and recharge at the end of the day. or is this wishful thinking. I remember, when I was a boy, I had a bicycle that had a headlight on it. a wire ran from the wheel to the light. as I would ride, the light would work. however, there were no batteries for the light to store energy in. makes you think. dont it. any advise, or remarks. come on guys, what do you think. have a blessed day

Re: is this wishful thinking
It is wishfull thinking. If you recall, when you engaged that bicycle generator it created significant drag on the bicycle. Multiply that by 10,000 or so for the kind of energy needed to replenish the battery pack of a golf cart.
