Did you ever put your hand out the window at 50mph? It’s windy.

The drag would be greater than the energy created -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 14:50 2
- But wouldn’t it be less drag than the wing mirrors? -- nm - Loyola Apr 11, 14:51 1
  - It's not that the drag would be high, but the energy recovered just wouldn't be very much. -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 14:57
