Don't be insulting ryan, wind generators work by friction with the wind. When the wind turns the turbines blades some of the energy of the wind is transfered to the blades. This transfer of energy slows down the air that passed through the blades. If you tried to use the motion of the car as energy to turn a turbine the friction with the wind would slow down the car. That is why MPG improves if the car is more aerodynamic. Anything that would capture the energy from air passing over the car would slow down the car. Yes I know we sent people to the moon but that was done in complete compliance with the laws of thermodynamics. What you want to do violates the laws of thermodynamics.
