For instance, take the motor vehicle as an example. We use gas to derive energy to turn the wheels. The wheels expend some of their energy as heat produced by friction with the road. Is there some way to recapture the heat produced by the tire and reconvert it to energy that can be used again by the vehicle to propel itself. How about the heat form the motor? The EMI emissions from the electronics?
Don’t stop at just a motor vehicle. How can we recapture energy created by the various methods it takes to produce various consumables and reuse that energy perpetually instead of releasing it into the environment?
The true ideal would be to have items that can be initially powered by a starting power source and then have them recapture maximum expended energy and feed it back into the system being used ( or fed into other systems for reuse).
Can you think of ways to do this? What would they be?
How about cooking stoves, laundry dryers, personal computers? Could it be done with those items?
Sometimes people have great ideas and just would like someone to make them happen. Hopefully we have enough of those people to really make things happen.

I need to apply 80 amperes to a wire to form the magnetic field strength i want. Is that too much power, if i decrease the voltage will it help. What tool can help me increase ampere and decrease volt?
My school owns several fiberglass sousaphones, which are in good working condition but need new paint. My friends and I volunteered to repaint them, as we will be using them next season (I am one of our tuba players). We have removed the brass parts and the screws, so there is just fiberglass on them now. I know exactly what the plan for painting them is, but I have no idea how to remove the paint. Not enough has come off that I can chip it off, and I tried sanding it with rough sandpaper, by hand. I am afraid to use chemicals (paint remover, etc.), as I have heard that they might melt the fiberglass. I also have considered using an electric sander, but I don’t know if that would be a good idea, either, or if it would even be effective on the paint, as hand sanding it had no effect (it didn’t evens scratch the paint).
What would be an effective, safe (for us and the sousaphones), and, hopefully, relatively simple way of removing the paint from the fiberglass?
Oh, I should have said this originally:
The sousaphones are black fiberglass, not white. The black coating (paint or otherwise) looks like paint, and it is glossy and smooth. However, it is not perfectly flat material; it’s textured, but not rough.
