Default Dynamic Charging

Hello Everyone,

Im trying to propose a project that will increase the battery life of a battery powered Remote Controlled Car (RC Car) using dynamic charging. The project has two capacitors linked to two batteries. As one battery is being used, the other battery is being charged by one of the capacitors.

The capacitors will receive charge through electromagnetism from magnets and coils attached inside of the wheels of the RC Car. Battery-A will be used to power the wheels. While the wheels are spinning the coils begin to produce an electrical charge. The charge will be stored on Capacitor-A. When Capacitor-A reaches a desired voltage, charge will be directed to Capacitor-B. Once Battery-A reaches a low voltage, the HCS12 will switch main power to Battery-B and Capacitor-A then charges Battery-A. Once Capacitor-A is discharged, Battery-A is then used as main power. The wheels then charge Capacitor-A and Capacitor-B charges Battery-B. Then the cycle repeats.

I know there are a few details missing, but I just want to know if its possible first.
what do you think? possible? Ideas?

This is a variation of perpetual motion.

The coils will generate a drag which will require extra energy from the battery. It will always take more energy from the battery than you can recover from the capacitors. There's no free lunch.

Perpetual Motion is impossible.
You are making gererators with magnets and coils. They use power from the battery to turn and to generate. Their heating is wasted power so you end up with less power than you started with.

Real electric cars use the driving motors as generators for braking. Then they gain the power that would normally be wasted as heat in the brakes.
Hybrid cars use a gasoline powered generator to charge the battery and to assist with driving the car.

Yes...but you must remove friction and atmosphere!

Here on Earth...Not a hope!
