Or, you could invent some motors and alternators with more than 100% efficiency :027: , then the alternator should be able to put out more power than the motor is using to turn it. That could help solve energy problems if you could get power for nothing.
I've thought about other size nimh cells in my cars as well, but there not very good at holding voltage. I put 6 2500mah AA's in my mini-t, and when I put the mamba 25 and 8000kv motor in it every time I accelerated more than about 50% the mamba would cut out for half a second, like it was hitting LVC, even though I set it as low as I could. Anyway when I put some good 1500mah 2/3 A (normal nimh size for mini's) batteries in it never cut out during acceleration and was a different car.
They could probably make D and AA batteries better, but for what they usually get used for they don't need to be as good as our car batteries, so manufactures probably don't see a market for high quality cells in those sizes.
