If you saw a static electric motor on the web, you'll understand this. (See link).
The electric "ground" takes static electricity which enters from wheel and goes thru rail to earth. Either wheel/rail has electically insulated sections or the rotors are on a plate adjacent to the wheel and insulated
from it, allowing for mechanically or electrically controlled contact.
Voilla: An electro-static in-wheel motor, without any extra moving parts, and using much less storage than conventional batteries, because only one type of material needed (positive or negative, instead of a battery with both), and probably more efficient, (because batteries are always reaching equilibrium, while here earth is at constant "infinity").

I know how to spell Peugeuot, Renault, Jacque Yves Cousteau and Deux Point. |

//Jacque Yves Cousteau // ? |

People, if the idea is not clear, please comment. I can edit it and make it better understood. I think its the best halfdea I've had yet. And I'm serious about it. |

Oh, and perhaps we can gain static energy and store it when train goes downhill, or for braking. |
|
| |
Also, for this invention, perhaps we can create "static storage" batteries, better and different from existing batteries, in that they "know" how to recieve and store large quantities of static energy as it is aquired along the way (similar to clouds) and then letting off the energy at needed amounts when required. |

All those motors look pretty low friction. Are you sure you can muster up enough work to push a car? Would it be safe for people to cross the street? |

The amount of power is simply a question of how much you store. Yes I'm sure you can store enough energy for static, just like "dynamic" electric storage. (Very similar principles apply). I'm also sure it can be made safe (if it can be done at all) since the electricity is going directly to the "ground" and not reaching anyone on the way. |
