Perhaps the spare wheel could be utilised with the
spokes adapted into windmill blades. Being telescopic the assembly
could be easily stored in the boot of the car. Similar to Mobile Emergency Lighting Tower Car Roof Mounted Telescopic Mast
Electric hub bicycle wheels could also be utilized windmills while parked, or placed at night in windier places like high rise block balconies or sea front areas.
Perhaps a marine version could be developed to put in water on windless days?
